Re: KALARIPAYATTU : THE HINDU MARTIAL ARTS
It will also be great if Hindu women also study Kalaripayattu. Unniyarcha, a female Kalaripayattu warrior from Kerala is famous for her exploits in the battlefield. She is famous for slaughtering a mob of ruffians who attacked her , with her weapons.
Unniyarcha, along with Rani of Jhansi , should be a role model for all hindu women, so that they can defend themselves successfully from ruffians like unniyarcha did.
I firmly believe that martial arts training among women will successfully decrease substantially the rape crimes,and all potential rapists can be pulverized by the women themselves, and can be handed to the police.
I think this will definetely help women a lot.
Kalaripayattu not only increases your selfdefence skills, it also imparts superb physical fitness, great mental strength, psychological hardiness and a superb character. It greatly increases your selfconfidence and selfesteem .
It also develops a spiritual streak in you as well.
Many young kalaripayattu practicioners have told about having developed a spiritual temperament and strong peace of mind and happiness , after training in kalaripayattu.
So you can see that kalaripayattu brings spiritual, mental, psychological and physical health and fitness,along with superb selfdefence skills.
