The father of all martial arts

What is "The father of all martial arts"?
Kung Fu? Kalaripayattu? Stick fighting?
Ha, guess again - it's Rock Paper Scissors!
"The ultimate hand-to-hand combat" :-)

A Kalari Take on Shakespeare

William Shakespeare gets an Indian colour and feel as a multi-lingual Anglo-Indian theatre production blends a work of the 16th century genius with Indian theatrical and cultural elements ranging from Bharatnatyam to Kalaripayattu and even Manipuri dance.

"The vigorous dance movements and the use of Kalaripayattu, which is actually a martial art, gave the production a kind of energy that is usually not present in Western theatre. But it has helped in highlighting the work of Shakespeare better."

Indian Actor Does Kalari

Think twice before getting into a scrap with Kannada actor Vijay Raghavendra. The superfit star can not only wield a sword with surprising ease, he can also kick butt using his newly-learnt kalaripayattu moves.

Having trained in this Kerala martial art for his upcoming period film, Kallu Arali Hoovagi, Vijay can now proudly say that he's the south's equivalent of Jackie Chan, or Akshay Kumar, for that matter.

Really Mixed Up Martial Arts?

Seems like they're planning to mix the stuff even further. I'm not sure if this is Mixed Martial Arts or Mixed Up Martial Arts...

And really, has anyone heard of "Shirum", "Sabat" (guess thet mean savate), "Punclas" (should be pancrase) or "Karaibat" (probably should read kalaripayattu, or kalari for short) :-)

Story:
"'MARS' will introduce not only existing professional martial arts such as Japan's K-1, HERO's, Punclas and pro wrestling and Korea's Shirum but also each country's martial arts like Turkish wrestling, Sabat (France), Crash (Uzbekistan), Karariabat (India) and others. So 'MARS' aims at a new competition rising above all these existing martial arts."
