kalaripayattu

Agasthyam Kalari is the ultimate destination for seekers of the ancient southern martial art of Kalaripayattu and the revered Kalari healing systems in Thiruvananthapuram. Nestled in the heart of tradition, our retreat proudly upholds a legacy that spans over 126 years.

Under the expert guidance of Gurukkal Dr. S. Mahesh, an esteemed authority in the realm of Kalaripayattu, our students not only master the intricate techniques but also embark on a transformative journey of self-realization. Dr. Mahesh Gurukkal, a fifth-generation martial artist, was initiated into Kalaripayattu at a tender age, inheriting a profound legacy from his family deeply rooted in this ancient art form. His lineage traces back to the legendary Kalari master, Shri R. Sanal Kumar Gurukkal, who possessed extraordinary knowledge in the Thekkan Sampradayam style, as well as the Siddha healing practices.

Agasthyam is also the Operating Partner of India’s first IKS Center for Kalaripayattu research run in collaboration with Trinity College of Engineering. Agasthyam trains thousands of students across the globe through its Offline and Online classes. Apart from the main center, at Nemom, Agasthyam has five additional offline centers in Trivandrum itself.

Agasthyam also offers self-defense workshops based on kalarippayattu, aiming for women's empowerment.

Entrepreneurs and corporate officials are also students of Agasthyam, who are being introduced to this martial art through the unique programs. Students of Agasthyam Kalari actively participate and have also won various medals in District, State and National Championships, including KHELO India Youth Games. The students will also be participating in the National Games from this year, as Kalaripayattu has now been included as one of the events in the competition.

Agasthyam has been doing various activities to bring Kalaripayattu, Kerala's unique culture and martial art form, to global attention. In the National Martial Arts Festival organized by IKS Center and Agasthyam, various martial arts forms of India were lined up.
