KKA Kalari Kannur is run by Muslim Master Sherif Gurukkal. He is a man of intellect and has appeared in the famous book describing Kalaripayattu in detail "When the Body Becomes All Eyes" by Phillip P. Zarrilli. In the book, Sherif Gurukkal shows off hidden stories of Kalaripayattu in detail.
Access: Trains from the north such as Goa, Mangalore are convenient. Buses also depart frequently from & to Calicut. Go to Palliyamoola Beach by city bus from the Kannur station and a few minutes by walk, you can reach there. Or take an auto rickshaw directly to the Kalari from the station.
Transportation in the city of Kannur is well-maintained and there run many buses inside the city, going to suburbs and long-distance. The starting point of the move is the private Central Bus Stand.
The state of the city center is a little urban style. The contrast between the latest shopping center and the old bazaar is distinct.
A few steps away from the bustling city center, the red-tiled roofs of the old houses are scattered in the lush greenery, bringing out the remarkable flavor of the Malabar coast.
In early 2007 when I visited, Miss. Kaoru Osanai, who studies Ayurvedic medical treatment at Gujarat University, was staying here for a long period of school holidays to practice Kalari martial arts and medical treatment, and we could talk a bit about Kalaripayattu and Master Sherif in Japanese.
I was pretty impressed that when I asked her "What kind of person your Master is?", She answered "Bodhi Dharma!", just in a second.
To state it simply, here is a Kalari vacation program especially for foreigners. The condition of that staying at a cozy cottage on a resort beach with natural foods, being sent by a car for come and back to the Kalari, having one instructor for each student, and the teaching method is systematically easy to understand, are pretty good.
The cost includes room, two meals and coaching was the highest level I have checked at that time, but satisfaction guaranteed.
For details information, make contact to master directly.
Recently this Kalari tends to be a treatment-centered policy, so Kalari practice program is not strongly promoted, but they can accept foreign student yet. If you have interested in this Kalari, it's worth enquiring.
