Recent reviews
My time at Kalari Kendram Kerala for the residential Kalaripayattu training was really rewarding and unforgettable. The program was a great way to learn this traditional martial art while building up my discipline, fitness, mental toughness, and confidence.
Learning from Shri Gurukal Shinto Mathew was a fantastic experience. His sessions were well organised and inspiring, and his passion for keeping Kalaripayattu alive made it all the more special.
The training offered a perfect mix of traditional values, hard work, and personal growth. I’m so thankful to the school and to Shri Gurukal Shinto for sharing their knowledge and wisdom with me.
I’d definitely recommend this to anyone wanting a real Kalaripayattu experience and a taste of Kerala’s martial arts history.
My time at Kalari Kendram is a beautiful experience. The peaceful atmosphere, nature, and Kalari practice made it feel special. It’s a lovely place to learn Kalaripayattu, connect with nature, and take a break from everyday life. A place that feels close to nature and brings you peace of mind ❤️
I recently did a 2 week introduction course of Kalari I would call it. Before coming I knew very little about Kalari, I just wanted to try some kind of martial art for the first time.
I got to learn a lot about the basic movements, but also about its beautiful and powerful history. And to experience it in a place like this was something unique.
I really enjoyed these days with these inspiring woman. And it open up big curiosity inside of me.. about Kalari, but also more about seeing what my body is capable of.
Kalaripayattu is not only about being able to defend yourself in a fight, but also about fighting your inner voice telling you what you are not capable of.
For sure 2 weeks is not enough, it’s a challenging martial art, who respectfully needs the time and patience. But it was a good introduction!
I would personally advice the people who is interested in doing the 2 or 3 weeks course to start with some basic stretches before coming. Prepare your body for an intense workout, I think it would be a good help.
I look forward to continue my Kalari practise, with a lot of patience, consistency and curiosity.
Thank you Kajal and Navya for everything you teach me ❤️ and thank you Amberly for amazing food and love 🌙
The Kalari Ashramam is incredible!! Kalaripayattu training right in the middle of the Kerala forest is something you just won't find anywhere else. Shinto Gurukkal is incredibly knowledgeable, and even just casual conversations with him turn into deep learning sessions. Even when you aren't training, you're hanging with the batch, swimming in the lakes and eating amazing food. Literally lived the best days during this residential program. Will definitely be back soon!
Kalari Kendram is an amazing place to learn authentic Kalaripayattu. The teachers are highly skilled, patient, and truly dedicated to preserving the traditional art. They guide every student with care and sincerity.
It's also a very safe and comfortable place with a friendly and respectful atmosphere. The residential program is well organized and gives a great opportunity to fully experience the training and lifestyle.
I highly recommend Kalari Kendram to anyone looking for genuine and traditional Kalaripayattu training.
A truly blissful experience with sincere, highly experienced trainers. The setting is deeply connected to nature, making it a must-have experience for anyone pursuing a healthy lifestyle and lifelong learning. There is zero showbiz here—just pure, authentic Kalaripayattu. It's a far better, more holistic option than Taekwondo or other modern martial arts. A absolute must for youngsters

The experience was divine in Kalari Ashramam.
Kalaripayattu training in the middle of forest is what makes this place special which you won't find in any other kalari school.
Gurukkal Shinto Mathew has deep knowledge of Kalaripayattu, and he explains us everything in detail.

Lived the best days of my life here. Will come back soon😇
One of the Best learning experience in life with Gurukkal Shinto Mathew his training guidance not just help in learning the art form but his life teaching also makes us a very humble and kind person in life.
First my heart says for the place where kalari Ashram situated can u believe every morning your eyes will open in front of a scenic beauty, a deep blue lake, a hill with lush green. It's like we were in a small island with a amazing sunset point. Every morning and afternoon a little hike to do kalari in kalari ground and that place is another level of peace. Whole day spending with other all activities of ashram to help gurukal to listen him. He is not only a teacher and guidance but truly a friend , preparing your kachha when you are not able to do, your injury, health all about his under vision. How we leave to discuss about food , all delicious south indian dishes were available for us. The tea and lake with hill is ultimate. I felt very sad to leave the happiness, fun, calm and the crude nature. I wish will come again.
The Ashram is literally nestled in Kerala's lush greens... And the reservoir adds the charm to the place. The experience of practicing kalaripayattu, eating good food and doing nature activities together with the batchmates was lovely. It was astonishing how a random conversation with gurukkal would turn into an informative session anywhere and anytime. Absolutely loved my stay at the residential program!
Had an amazing experience at the kalari kendram Kerala ashram.
The staff, trainers, food, environment and the vibe is very good.
The people you meet there just become your tribe and its good to meet like minded people.
It was a rejuvenating experience there.
It was truly a life-changing experience. The location itself is breathtaking — nestled on a peaceful hill with a serene lake in front and surrounded by greenery. The accommodation was clean and thoughtfully designed to match the calm.Waking up to the sound of nature and practicing this ancient martial art in such an environment was a great experience.
Gurukkal Shinto Mathew is highly knowledgeable and very supportive. This program helped me connect with my body, mind, and nature on a deeper level. Whether you are a beginner or have some experience, I highly recommend this program to anyone looking to explore the roots of Kalaripayattu.
