At Kalari Club I was initiated to the most ancient martial arts traditions of Kerala, Kalaripayattu. After few classes by our expert masters I realized that Kalari instigates a flow of energy in our bodies with premeditated movements and stances . Each movement in Kalari has a meaning, our expert masters deciphers it for us, teaching us the poses making us do it again and again until those are registered in our subconscious mind. Eventually the flow of movements in Kalari becomes very meditative and one reaches a state bliss as they advances each level of learning. The epitome of the art of combat in Kalari points to the fact that we are combating our own fears. Showing us the way to tread ahead annihilating the darkness around us, our own Dr, Rahis Gurukkal, the torch bearer of Kalari traditions in the UAE and the masters Mr. Sarath , Mr. Vishnu and Ms. Ahalya . My heart felt gratitude to our Kalari lineage for passing on to us the knowledge of Kalari- the secret of a holistic lifestyle.
After the post covid weight gain and sluggishness I was looking around for a gym to reshape myself when I heard of this Kalari club from my relative.Although I laughed at the idea of myself doing Kalari, I decided to attend the trial classes to see whether this will suit me. Surprisingly ,whatever your age,ability,gender or level of fitness you can fit in. I was impressed by the team of enthusiastic and passionate trainers who engages and encourages each student according to their strengths. I like the mix of people and watching the kids motivates me to try. Kalari is a wholesome package that includes the fitness routines that promote strength,flexibility,agility,balance and coordination along with mental focus.There is something for everyone whatever their goal is.Kalari doesn’t bore me like the mundane gym routines which makes me quit after a few classes . I am sure the positivity of the trainers and the friendly environment will have a positive impact on anyone who chooses to join as it had on me. Convenient parking, location,good hours and reasonable prices are added attractions.Don’t hesitate to join if you are looking for a place to socialise and to keep you mentally or physically active .
