HISTORY

History Image

has its roots in the Sangam era (around 2nd century BCE to 2nd century CE). The word Silambam comes from the Tamil words "silam" (hill) and "bambu" (bamboo), referring to the bamboo staff used in combat. Historical records and literature, such as the *Silappatikaram* and *Purananuru*, mention Silambam as a combat technique practiced by Tamil warriors and kings. It was also taught in ancient Tamil martial academies (*kalaris*)
