  • THANG TA/थांग ता Is a Popular Term for the Ancient Manipuri
    Paper: 2 Relationship Of Dance And Theatre, Study Of Rupaka And Uparupaka, Traditional Theatres Of India Module 31 Kalaripayattu And Thang-Ta In India, there are many regional forms of martial arts. Some forms of dance and dance-theatre have created most challenging and captivating forms with their amazing techniques. The resurgence of public interest in Kalaripayattu/कऱाररपायट्टू began in the 1920s in Tellicherry as part of a wave of rediscovery of the traditional arts throughout south India. It was perhaps the growing reaction against British colonial rule. Martial arts are a part of India’s ancient culture and a part of traditional games. Nowadays a sense of self-defense and a heightened understanding of fitness has interested a lot of people opting for training in the martial arts. This is one of the reasons that a lot of Indian dancers and choreographers got attracted to the various Indian martial forms. The breath control, postural perfection, balance, internalization are some of the most profound qualities which definitely makes the dancer and actor prepare better. 1 Since the martial art primarily dealt with warfare, injuries and wounds were inevitable and hence the science of kalari/कऱरी incorporated effective treatments from Ayurveda/आयुर्वेद for cure of wounds, burses, dislocations and fractures. Healing has always been an important part of martial arts. You cannot be a fighter without knowing how to heal your wounds. Treatments in Kalari make use of ayurvedic herbs and herbal preparations and provide instant relief. In addition, the practice of this martial art requires great deal of body flexibility, physical strength, extremely high levels of mental concentration and a synergy of the mind, body and soul to be able to attack and defend the body with extremely fast reflexes.
