ABOUT KAILASAM CVN KALARI
Kalaripayattu, also spelled as Kalarippayattu is an ancient martial art indigenous to Kerala, a small state in the southern tip of India, but is known and practised throughout the globe today. The exact time of its origin however cannot be fixed with any sense of certainty.
In the modern era, Kalarippayatu was brought to general public attention during the 1920s in a wave of rediscovery of indigenous arts. This revival was led by Sri. Kottackal Kanaran Gurukkal (1850-1935) who learned from various masters in Malabar and brought together many of the dying practices of kalarippayat and his student, Sri C.V. Narayanan Nair (Chambadan Veedu Narayanan Nair 1905-1944) who was instrumental in bringing the practicing tradition of kalarippayat to the public view by organizing performances outside the kalaries for the first time and by establishing a well-known kalari in the town of Tellicherry in Northern Kerala.
Founded by K. Narayanan Gurukkal, CVN Kalari has won international fame and is the face of Kalaripayattu in Kerala. Narayanan Gurukkal who learnt Kalaripayattu and Marmachikilsa from his ancestors, imparted that traditional wisdom to hundreds and thousands of his disciples.
It is in this famed CVN lineage that Sri. Ramesh Nair Gurukkal , who started Kailasam CVN Kalari in 2000 at Kollamcode (Kanyakumari district) and start training in Kalaripayattu and later he has started one more center in Coimbatore.
