It is rolled before the fight and is uncurled towards the opponent..it'll luk as if hes hurling it towards the opponent. Luks like answers.com has lot of carp about Indian stuff. I'm an Indian.. Lemme explain In Malayalam, Kalari means "place, open space, threshing floor, battlefield."..payal means "to learn, speak;" payttuka, "to exercise in arms, practice," and finally payattu having the idiomatic meaning, "fencing exercise, a trick." The training is mainly divided into four parts consisting of Meithari, Kolthari, Ankathari and Verumkai. The above sword fight looks as if,only attacking is taught in Kalaripayattu. But infact, 90% of this martial art has defence. Totally different from Kung fu ,Karate and other stuff. The last one Verumkai is extremely dangerous,includes arm locks, grappling, and strikes to the Pressure Points (Marmam), the vital points of the body. The Gurukkal(Master) teaches knowledge of Marmam only to those students whom he trusts, restricting knowledge to the very few. “it has to be straightened out”??? what crap?
