About Silamabam ( Martial Art)
Sage Agathiya, who lived 2500 years ago and is closely associated with the ancient Sangam period of Tamil
history, which existed between 300 BC and 300 AD mentions
Silamba as one of the 64 arts. There are references in the Tamil literature
about the Cilambam, especially in the Cilappathikaram, that the drum, knife,
etc. for playing the Cilambam were sold in a shop and foreigners eagerly bought
them. The ancient city of Madurai became the focal point of the spread
of cymbals.
It
has called it as another name of Silambattam and Silambam but also
traditionally practised by the Tamil community of Sri Lanka and Malaysia.
It is also the oldest traditional martial art in the world.
Black days of
Silambam
The
valiant Tamil kings of the time, Dheeran Chinnamalai, Puli Thevar, Veerapandiya
Kattabomman and Maruthu Pandiyar (1760–1799), had trained entire armies in
Silamabm and relied mainly on their Silambam skills to wage war against the
British army. This army was the reason why the British army found it difficult
to fight against them. Indian martial arts suffered a decline after the British
colonists banned Silambam along with various other systems. They also
introduced modern western military training that favoured firearms over
traditional weapons. During this time, silambam was more widely used in
Southeast Asia than in its native India, where it was banned by the British
rulers at the end of the 18th century.
