It's really amazing to see this unique martial art of Kerala. There is a religious ritual in the beginning - the practitioners pray to the deity before fighting. They have been training since 7 years old, which is really seen in a form of developed strength, patience and concentration. The performance is about showing short fights using different techniques and weapons each time. The most thrilling one is jumping through the ring of fire. There was one activity where they involved the audience too. In the end they let you go down into Kelari (battlefield) to take pictures with them and their weapons.

Must visit place, everybody will enjoy.Thrilling use of traditional weapons.This is a 1 hour show, between 6-7 (daily), great value and you experience the martial art form of Kalaripayattu. The performers movements, flexibility were amazing and it was a wonderful insight into ancient art form.

Although we are not martial art enthusiasts, we thorougly enjoyed the neatly presented show. This art form requires plenty of physical and mental strength of the body. This show makes you feel proud of the fact that even in this field we have contributed to the rest of the world!. It is a pity that somewhere along the line, we have lost not only the pride for good work done but also the enthusiasm to atleast preserve & appreciate the good work done by our ancestors :-(. Anyway, one way of preserving this art form is to attend this show so that last few people who are practicing this could do so in the future! The performers are really professional and you are guaranteed to have fun filled hour and half program. If you are a person who appreciate dance forms of India, the same centre presents a program on Kathakali also. (Usually 6pm to 7; 7 to 8 and 8 to 9 - Rs200/person)
