Training & certification

What does a beginner learn?

Classes teach the foundations of the Tamil martial lineage in a structured order: posture and body conditioning, basic strikes and blocks, footwork, and the terminology of the tradition. Training progresses into weapon forms (Silambam kambu, kattai), varmam study, and the deeper curriculum for those who continue.

No prior martial-arts experience is required to begin. Training is progressive, and every level is taught with emphasis on conditioning and safety before advanced practice.
