What we’re about
The purpose of this group is to create a Greater Toronto-based Kalaripayattu Meetup group that starts as an online meetup, but eventually when things open up, we meet in person to practice and learn about this Ancient Martial Art form from Kerala India.
Martial Arts enthusiasts who want to expand their practice to this ancient martial art form and learn about what is considered the 'Mother of All Martial Arts" are welcome to join. All levels are encouraged.
The meetups will start with Sunday Morning 8am EST online zoom classes which will be taught by Kalaripayattu instructors from Agasthyam Kalari in Kerala, India. See more details about Agasthyam Kalari here: http://agasthyam.com/
