Varma Kalai

Varma Kalai is an ancient Indian martial arts style traced back to the god Shiva and his instruction. More than just a fighting technique, Varma Kalai includes aspects of traditional massage where pressure points are used to heal as well as aspects of Ayurveda to treat paralysis and nervous disorders, among other things. Due to practitioners superior knowledge of the body, the combat version Marma Adi focuses on striking pressure points in the nerves and organs in order to incapacitate an opponent.
