Kalarippayattu

Postby Remdawg Killionaire » Tue Feb 08, 2011 4:56 pm

I've always been interested in the Vedic faith, and the history of all that is Sanskrit, and I'd seen a bit of this before, but thought I should share with ya'll.

I don't know that this is actually the most appropriate forum for this post. I don't want this to be considered spam, or a viable training regimen for Belegarth, I just thought I should post this, as it's considered the oldest martial art in the world.

They use those crazy ribbon-whip-sword things, right?

Yeah, the Urumi.
