What is a Karlakattai

Karlakattai is a seasoned medicinal wood that is turned into a specific shape and size then further treated with medicinal oils. There is a lot of science behind the use of traditional wood, the shape and weight of the Karlakattai. It is a tool that is used to shape and look after the Temple, that is YOU. The closest English word for a Karlakattai is a wooden club.

All the Karlakattai’s that I have and the students of Karlakattai Training U.K use come from the Jothi Silambam Kshaktiriya Gurukulam, blessed by Aasaan Dr. Jothi Senthil Kannan

All my Karlakattai’s are exclusively for my students only.

Karlakattai

There are 7 different types of Karlakattai’s with one exclusively for Women and one specifically designed by Aasaan for Karlakattai Yoga. We mainly use Kai Karalai for Men and Padi Karalai for Women. Details about the different Karlakattai’s can be found in the book written by Aasaan Dr. Jothi Senthil Kannan called – Ancient Warrior Practice Karlakattai

Padi Karalai for Women

The shape of this Karlakattai is based on measuring device called ‘Padi’(Tamil). The maximum weight one should start with is the person’s body weight/8/3. The other factors to decide on the weight and shape of the Karlakattai are the person’s body structure and anatomy. Traditionally they are given to a student after being blessed by their Guru after analysing what the student requires.
