Answer:

Kalaripayattu, also known simply as Kalari, is an Indian martial art and fighting style that originated in modern-day Kerala, a state on the southwestern coast of India.[1] Kalaripayattu is held in high regard by martial artists due to its long-standing history within Indian martial arts. It is believed to be the oldest surviving martial art in India. It is also considered to be among the oldest martial arts still in existence, with its origin in the martial arts timeline dating back to at least the 3rd century BCE.[2]
