The Varma Kalai is a martial art coming from southeast India, more exactly from Tamil Nadu. Literally, "varma kalai" means "the art of vital points". This art is composed of hand- to - hand fighting, fighting with weapons, and also martial gymnastics. The study of this art goes beyond learning fighting techniques. Its aim is to produce healthy and stable individuals.
The Siddhars long, ago had discoveres the presence of 72,000 nadis in the body and has described in detail the action and location of each of them.They have also described the location of 108 varmam or vital points that could heal or harm the human body when properly manipulates, through touch,pressure or striking, by an expert.
There are few experts in south Indian states of Tamilnadu and kerala who are doing excellent varma therapy but not on a commercial scale. The knowledge is vast and the true disciples few.As a matter of fact,the Siddha wisdom was made for the human race and some remain immaterial as long as humanity needs it.
