What is the source of Varmakalai?


Varmakalai like Bharatanatiyam and many other arts is said to be handed down to humanity by the Lord Shiva, a superhuman ruler of a legendary continent called Kumari kandam. This is the same 3 eyed god of the Hindus. However during the time of inception of Varmakalai he was a ruler of this continent that stretched from Africa to Australia and included parts of South India and was not worshiped as a God yet, he walked among humans.

What is Varmakalai?
Varma kalai is the art of studying anatomical weaknesses and devising methods to attack these in self defence both bare handed or with the use of specialized weapons such as the varmakol. The four major branches of varmakalai are 1. Varmathallu - The art of striking the varmam and developing the physical fitness and conditioning to do so 2. Varmapidi - The art of grappling using the varmam as handles 3. Varmamarundugal - Preparation of external oils and oral medicines to cure attacks to the varmams 4. Varmathadavu - Curing of varmam attacks by massage and pressure
