Thekkan Kalari and Siddha Varma/Marma treatment, rooted in an unbroken guru lineage

Founded in 2013 by Mahesh Gurukkal, Sree Rudra Kalari keeps alive the southern martial tradition of Kerala and its sister art of healing. Here, training and treatment come from the same source: a living lineage of masters reaching back to Joseph Aasan of Neyyattinkara.
