The martial art of Kalaripayattu, which uses weaponry and combative techniques specific to Kerala, evolved from the combat techniques used in the 11th and 12th centuries on the battlefield. The term Kalaripayattu translates roughly to practice in the arts of the battlefield. It is a compound of two Malayalam words: kalari (training ground or battleground) and payattu (training of martial arts).
