We do not train for demonstrations or festivals. We use Kalaripayattu and Silambam to build the specific speed, stability, and footwork that actually win fights.

I blend modern MMA with the ancient wisdom of Indian martial arts. Here you see Kalaripayattu training, which we use to develop unique footwork, speed, and agility.

Practicing with a Silambam stick. This traditional training improves wrist strength, coordination, and footwork, all of which translate directly to boxing and MMA.

About Roots of Combat: Kalaripayattu & Silambam

If you watch my sparring, you will see the difference. Most modern MMA fighters have predictable, linear movement. Integrating Kalari footwork allows me to change angles and evade strikes in ways that aren't taught in standard kickboxing gyms. We aren't doing this for show. We are doing this to make you faster, harder to track, and unpredictable in the cage.
