Early in life Mr. Unnikrishnan became interested in the traditional martial arts form called 'Kalarippayattu' and various physical treatments this system had developed to keep the ancient and
medieval warriors in good fighting condition and to treat them
from various complaints like wound, fractures etc. inflicted upon them while fighting in wars or encounter with enemies. he
approched the famous ayurvedic physician Vayaskara Mooss of Kottayam to learn treatments for various problems.
|
|
|
| After this initiation, he went to Ponkunnam to learn massage in
Kerala style, from Shri. C.K.Kuttappan
Vaidyar, who was running a massage centre
. It was from this guru that Unnikrishnan learned the basics as well as the advanced techniques of scientific massage. He became familiar with the vital centres of human body called
'marma' and ways to treat for damages that may occur. The guru used to come to the
disciple's house to train him. thus,
Unnikrishnan gained expertise in massaging for
physical injuries of various types. So, he has great respect and gratitude towards his guru. |

|
| To learn
actual martial arts, he approached
Ettumanoor Muraleedharan Gurukkal and
learned ' Kalarippayattu'. Then he went
to Kottackal, to learn more about kalari from Parameswaran Gurukkal. To learn the techniques
practiced in southern most Kerala Unnikrishnan went to the south and learned a lot from J.Madhava Naadaar. Thus, he gradually became a master in 'Kalarai-marma chikilsa' and came to be called Gurukkal. He learned
from different authorities in the field and gained a solid foundation to start
practicing massage and other martial arts himself. |

opening ' Bharath Marma Kalari Chikitsa Kendram' at Kuravilangadu. after 2 years he shifted to Mukkoottuthara near Erumeli for some time.
Then he went to Gulf. After returning, he took charge of massaging
treatments at an ayurvedic hospital in Kottayam town. After a stint
there, he decided to start a well -equipped training centre for kalari and treatment centre, with emphasis on massage in the kalari style.
