Discipline in Kalari is not just about following rules. It is about respecting the Gurukkal, being punctual, following instructions, maintaining cleanliness, controlling our actions, and practicing regularly with dedication. It also means having patience, humility, and respect for fellow students. Through Kalari, we learn to discipline both our body and mind and apply these qualities in our daily lives.
This programme gives students an opportunity to learn and practice Kalaripayattu while staying in a residential environment. It focuses on regular training, discipline, physical conditioning, and learning under the guidance of experienced instructors.
A Gurukkal is a traditional teacher or master who guides students in Kalaripayattu and passes on the knowledge and practices of the tradition.
