About this listen
We grew up chasing colored belts and borrowed traditions — proud of the strength they gave us.
But somewhere along the way, we forgot the martial arts born in our own soil.
This episode isn’t about comparison. It’s about introspection.
Why did Indian systems like Kalaripayattu, Katti Varase, or Gatka become performances… and not practices?
Was it lack of effectiveness — or lack of faith?
From colonial suppression to cultural amnesia, we trace the quiet erasure of our physical wisdom.
And ask, what does it mean to stand in your own stance — not to fight, but to remember?
🕊️ A reflection on movement, memory, and reclaiming what was always ours.
— Shiva
