Southern-style training and Kalari Chikitsa on a single ashram campus founded by Guru Balachandran Nair, with an Ayurvedic healing centre and a Hanuman temple on the grounds.
ISMA has taught the southern style since 1983 on a campus designed around immersion: training ground, healing centre and the Anjaneya Swami temple in one place. The founder's son now leads the institution and an associated online portal taught by teachers based in India, Australia and the USA.
Kalari Chikitsa and Ayurveda operate on campus as a working healing centre rather than an add-on, which is the reason many visitors come here in the first place.
The Thiruvananthapuram institution, training in a kuzhi kalari since 1956, with ICCR-recognised courses and daily morning performances visitors can watch.
A fifth-generation southern-style school at Nemom under Dr. S. Mahesh Gurukkal, running everything from daily traditional training to structured fitness and mindfulness programmes.
Training and traditional treatment together at Pappanamcode since 1974, now under Dr. Gowthaman Gurukkal, with morning classes and evening slots arranged for foreigners.
