Maruthi Marma Chikilsa & Kalari Sangham, established in 1957 by the revered Guru Shri Thankappan Aasan, stands as a distinguished institution in Thiruvananthapuram, committed to preserving the ancient martial art of Kalaripayattu and the traditional healing practice of Marma Chikilsa. Now under the esteemed guidance of Guru Thankappan Aasan’s son, Shri Ajith Kumar, we endeavor to sustain the rich cultural legacy of South India by perpetuating the priceless skills and wisdom passed down through generations.

Our vision is to empower individuals through the practice of Kalaripayattu, nurturing physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. Upholding the principles of discipline, respect, and tradition, we offer comprehensive training programs in Thekkan Kalari (Southern style of Kalaripayattu) and Marma Chikilsa, alongside traditional healing practices that emphasize holistic wellness for both the individual and the community.

We invite you to join our vibrant community and embrace the Kalari way of life, embarking on a transformative journey of self-discovery and growth.
