Kalari: The Ancient Martial Art Behind Modern Wellness

Dr Tanya visits a hidden gem south of Brisbane to explore Kalari — one of the world's oldest martial arts — and its deep connection to Ayurvedic philosophy. It's a fascinating look at a training system that's as much about healing and self-awareness as it is about combat.

• What Kalari actually is: a complete health system combining martial art, healing, and Ayurvedic knowledge
• Pressure point (marma) techniques and how they connect to the body's energy points
• Why discipline comes before power in weapon training
• How the practice was historically used to train and empower girls, not just men
• The link between Kalari and Ayurveda's focus on balance and prevention over treatment
• Dr Tanya's take as a doctor on the value of preventive, movement-based systems alongside modern medicine
• A visit to the Kalari and Ayurveda Centre in South Brisbane and its calming, healing atmosphere
