Каларипаятту - это боевое искусство штата Керала (Индия) и известно на практике тысячи лет. Оно сохранилось на протяжении многих веков благодаря традиции гуру-шишья парампара. Каларипаятту - это холистическое искусство, которое не только знает, как причинять боль другим, но также знает, как лечить. Эта уникальная комбинация делает ее полной наукой и, следовательно, считается «матерью всех боевых искусств».
Предание гласит, что около 475 г. н.э. индийский буддийский монах Бодхидхарма (третий сын царя-кшатрия из Канчипурам) прибыл в Китай и познакомил монахов Шаолиня с каларипаятту, от которого потом произошло шаолиньское кунфу.
Kalarippayattu is the indigenous martial art of Kerala and is known to be in practice for thousands of years. This martial art form is indigenous to the Southern Indian state of Kerala which, legend has it, was created by the warrior saint Parashurama, an incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Parashurama established forty-two kalaris (Schools) and taught twenty-one masters of these kalaris to protect the land of Kerala.
Kalarippayattu is a wholistic art that not only knows how to hurt the other but also knows how to heal. This unique combination makes it a complete science and hence it is regarded as the 'mother of all martial arts'. The martial training aims at the overall development of an individual beginning from physical strength, mental balance and progressing to spiritual upliftment. It forms, as it were, a path guided by the tradition to lead a complete life.
Kalarippayattu is believed to be brought to China by Bodhidharma, a Buddhist monk who lived during the 5th/6th century CE. He is traditionally credited as the transmitter of Ch’an (Sanskrit: Dhyana, Japanese: Zen) to China, and regarded as the first Chinese patriarch. According to Chinese legend, he also began the physical training of the Shaolin monks that led to the creation of Shaolin Kung Fu.
This book attempts to provide a general outline of the teaching and learning of this martial art, specifically to the students of Kalarippayattu.
