Vaisakh Sabu2023-11-22I always wanted to learn a martial art when i was young but never could fulfill it. Finally I decided to learn from my dear friend Dons place. I have studied with him since my engineering college days and the way he has transformed his life with Kalaripayattu has always been inspirational for me❤️. So i have been learning kalaripayattu for around 8 months now and my other yogic practices have definitely enhanced because of it. Waking up early and practicing this ancient martial art has been game changing for me. Doing the morning chants and practicing in touch with soil has truly brought a lot of balance and peace❤️
