Preserving Ancient Wisdom, Empowering Modern Warriors
KALARIKSHETHRM was founded by Sandeep Sundar with a vision to preserve and propagate the ancient martial art of Kalaripayattu in its most authentic form. Sandeep Sundar, a dedicated practitioner and master of this sacred art, brings years of rigorous training under traditional Kalari lineages. With deep respect for the ancient wisdom and a commitment to making this transformative practice accessible to modern seekers, Sandeep Sundar established KALARIKSHETHRM as a sanctuary where tradition meets dedication. Through focused guidance, disciplined training, and the sacred Guru-Shishya tradition, he continues to inspire and empower students on their journey toward physical mastery, mental clarity, and spiritual awakening.
KALARIKSHETHRM is dedicated to preserving and teaching the ancient martial art of Kalaripayattu, believed to be one of the oldest fighting systems in existence. Originating in Kerala, India, this sacred art form has been passed down through generations, combining physical prowess with spiritual discipline.
