Kalaripayattu
Classes in Dubai
Just like Karate, Kalaripayattu is also extremely popular in the UAE and we have lots of people enquiring about learning this martial arts form. And it is not surprising because Kalaripayattu is one of the oldest martial arts in the world. This form has its roots in Kerala, India and combines the power of self-defense, the flexibility of yoga, and the balance of acrobatics into one wholesome form. Our Kalaripayattu classes in Dubai are structured as it was once taught in the traditional kalaris in Kerala. You will learn about low stances, the fluid strikes, the weapons work, and the body conditioning in this art form. We invite you to come to our academy and watch a kalaripayattu demonstration – it’s truly mesmerizing.
Kalaripayattu Training for Beginners in Dubai
The word "kalari" actually means the pit or ground where training happens. Traditionally it was dug slightly into the earth. The focus of the training is to inculcate humility and discipline in the participants and that’s what we focus on, especially the spirit of the ancient martial arts form. In the first sessions of our Kalaripayattu training for beginners in Dubai we will help you loosen stiff hips, and unlock tight joints. Then we will focus on strengthening your back. Once your body is ready, we will move forward with chuvadu. In this, you learn the basic steps and stances that build flexibility, balance and body control. Once you master all these you will move to strikes and weapons use. Remember, it is normal to feel a burn in your legs and thighs even before you start any real action, but that’s fine.
Learn Traditional Kalaripayattu in Dubai With Expert Trainers
Our instructors conducting Kalaripayattu classes for adults in Dubai are expert trainers who have trained under kalaripayattu masters in the gurukals in Kerala. They carry that same culture and lineage into the classes here too. Along with stances and physical movements, you will also learn how to breathe correctly during each movement, protect your joints and keep your mind calm under physical effort. We teach Kalaripayattu as it was meant to be taught and it takes some effort to master it. We don't simplify the martial arts form for a fitness crowd. We will teach you all about close combat, grappling and pressure-point technique. Along with Kalaripayattu, we also recommend that you join our Karate classes for adults in Dubai.
