About Us

Andy & Nicole, husband and wife that love to practice and teach Kalari. We started Kalari Movement as a way to share and promote Kalari in the United States. We have found that learning, practicing and teaching the health and wellness aspects of the art to be the most beneficial to us and those we teach. Our instruction is focused on self-improvement and that means something different to everyone. Some people want to get stronger or have better balance, others want to learn the body forms, or learn how to focus or meditate and most everyone wants inner peace. We enjoy helping people with that journey of self discovery, improvement and empowerment.

Our Kalari Training

Our training comes from Gurukkal C.M. Sherif of Kerala Kalarippayat Academy located in Kerala, India. The academy is recognized by the Kerala Sports Council and the only Kalarippayat Academy recognized by the World Martial Arts Union. The lineage is around 800 years old and is one of the most well rounded Kalari schools in all of Kerala; Focusing on Northern, Central and Southern styles and the Healing practices of the North and South. This knowledge has come with deep gratitude. We are so grateful to our teacher and all the teachers that have gone before him for learning, protecting and sharing Kalari through the generations.
