It is my brother’s opinion that learning Kalarippayattu will not really help in an actual fight. He says, you will be starting with those steps while the other guy (who shouldn’t have gone to a Kalari, by the way) just kicks your butt. Even though I always laughed at it, I had also wondered whether it was true. I know learning any martial arts stuff AND practising it will help and otherwise pitham pidichavan/val be stronger and active(r) and stuff, but will it really help you in an actual fight with an equally strong person who didn’t have technic, but had a will to fight and strength?
