Seven decades of training and treatment at Puthiyara, with board and lodging on site and a dedicated women's Kalaripayattu team.
Established in 1952 by Veerasree Sami Gurukkal and now carried by his children, the Sangam runs regular Kalaripayattu classes alongside yoga and Panchakarma teaching. Shakti, its women's Kalaripayattu team led by Radhika Gurukkal, is a distinctive feature: a working performance and teaching group rather than a token class.
The centre supports doctoral research and hosts scholars from India and abroad, and it maintains a library on site.
Ayurveda and marma treatment run on the same campus through the attached Dhanwantari Ayurveda Academy, with online consultation also offered.
Board and lodging are available at the centre, which is unusual among the older Kozhikode kalaris and makes a long stay considerably simpler to arrange.
The Kozhikode CVN, founded by K. Narayanan Gurukkal, known for film choreography from Thacholi Othenan to Bajirao Mastani and for its in-patient treatment ashram.
A kuzhi kalari at East Hill with resident and day students, and a steady stream of theatre artists from France, Italy and Canada on three-to-six-month stays.
The unusual case of a southern-style kalari in the north, under S. K. Rajesh Gurukkal, with a treatment practice Kozhikode knows it for.
