Silambam Overview
Mon, 01/21/2008 - 05:11 — adminHow did silambam, the art of self defense, come into being?
In ancient days, pre historic man used a bamboo stick to protect himself from approaching animals and inimical humans. Because of its usefulness, they always had the stick with them. When they went in search of food, they had to walk long distances. Playfully they swirled the sticks that they carried with them. As and when some inimical humans attacked them with sticks, they had to defend themselves with sticks. Thus a kind of fighting with sticks began to develop. It the first defense mach anion in human history.
