Ray ----------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Ray, I am sure that with your deep interest in the martial arts you would find my historical novel Without a City Wall very interesting. Without a City Wall is set in 16th century Europe and Kerala and along with other very interesting episodes covers the ancient martial art form of Kalaripayattu. Kalaripayattu is believed to be the forerunner of all the eastern martial art forms. Bodhidharma (448-527AD) the Buddhist monk from whose teachings both karate and the Chinese martial arts claim descent, and who is credited with setting up the school of martial arts at the famous Shaolin Temple, was an Indian princling who went to China in the 6th century to preacch the Buddhist doctrine. With kalaripayattu being the only martial art form in the length and breadth of India that bears any semblance to the present day Eastern martial art forms. Bodhidharma could only have learnt these arts from the kalaris (as the martial academies of Kerala are called). Kerala, a tiny state on the SW coast of Inda was until the 12th century a Buddhist stronghold. This theory is now being accepted in many quarters. Although during the British rule in Kerala, the kalaris lost much of their former importance, there are even today several kalaris in Kerala where there is active practice of Kalaripayattu both as a form of self defence and for the healing techniques, peculiar to the kalaris, that have developed over the centuries. Without a City Wall also describes the Mamamkam, a bizarre festival which was held once in 12 years in North Kerala. At the Mamamkam kalari trained fighters could have a go at the ruling monarch, the Zamorin, by fighting their way through a gauntlet of the Zamorin's soldiers.
