Nearly a Century of Tradition

For nearly a century, our Kalari has been a hub for training, healing, and cultural preservation. The present Marma Master, Dr. C.S. Suchith, represents the third generation of this family lineage.

A distinguished expert in marma therapy, he has authored "Marma Sastram", a comprehensive text on the science of marma. His work has been recognized by His Highness Sri Uthradam Thirunal Marthanda Varma of the Travancore Royal Family.

Our Philosophy

At Buddha Kalari, tradition is not just preserved—it is lived. The oils and medicines used in treatments are handmade on-site, following ancient Ayurvedic recipes inscribed on palm leaves and passed down through generations.

"True knowledge cannot be gained from books or videos—it must be experienced through practice and guidance from the master."
