Going further on the path of the abhyasi* (that's what a Kalari practitioner is called), can then be taken in your own time and at your own pace.
All further classes you can pay for separately when you are ready for them and you will have lifetime access to them online, so you can go through them as many times as you want.
The classes can be bought in groups of 2, or buy a bunch and get a discount.
Each group of classes will contain a training schedule for you to use and adapt to the time you have available to practice.

Excellent online Kalari training
Adam is an excellent teacher, knowledgeable and passionate about Kalari, and patient with new students. I’m enjoying learning kalari online, I can go at my own pace and I find the classes are a good mix of challenge and incremental steps. I love practising the forms and always feel strong, grounded and present afterwards. Highly recommended way of learning this fascinating art!

An authentic lineage
Adam Phillips has been practising Kalari for almost 20 years, first encountering the practice as an actor in training. In 2001, he visited India and became a student of Gurukkal CM Sherif at Kerala Kalarippayattu Academy (KKA) in Kerala. Since then he has become a senior teacher of the school, and is now one of the most experienced non-Indian practitioners of the art, leading workshops in UK, Poland, Serbia, Czech Republic, Russia, Greece and Italy.
Kalari Lab
In 2016 he relocated to Ko Pha Ngan island in Thailand and founded Kalari Lab as a centre for teaching, treatment and research into the martial and healing art of Kalari. Since then several hundred students have trained and received treatment at Kalari Lab and the centre is now becoming well recognised and receiving students from all over the world.
Kalari Lab Online
In response to the request of many of his students, Adam has created Kalari Lab Online: an online learning environment, the first online virtual school and what is becoming the first online encyclopedia of the techniques within Kalarippayattu. Kalari Lab Online has been designed to provide ongoing support to existing and future students of Kalari and to form a strong and vibrant community of practitioners, to bring cohesion and motivation to students globally.
