 We take pride in introducing your good selves to the Ancient Martial Art of Silambam. The art was patronized by the ancient Chola, Chera and Pandya kings of South India during the Sangam period. The Maravar pada of Travancore kings used silambam in their warfare against enemies. Silambam tactics were frequently used during ancient times for self defence by Tamils, Marathas, Rajputs and Mohals. Chatrapati Shri Shivaji Maharaj taught tactics for his soldiers. Many Southeast Asian martial arts were influenced by Silambam. 
Silambam is an Old Martial Art. It is a defensive and offensive game, up to the entry of British it was used as weapon in war. British banned it. After Independence we revived the game.
    Silappadikkaram a Tamil Sangam literature of 2nd century vividly describes Silambam. It refers to the sale of Silamabam staves, swords, pearls and armor to foreign traders. The ancient trading centre at the city of Madurai was renowned globally and said to be thronged by Romans, Greeks, and Egyptians among others who had regular sea trade with the Tamil kingdoms. The bamboo staff, one of the first weapons used in Indian martial arts, was in great demand with the visitors.

     The soldiers of King Veerapandiya Kattabomman (1760–1799) relied mainly on their Silambam prowess in their warfare. Some records trace the origin of this art to a divine source - Lord Muruga, and within the Tamil mythological framework, Sage Agasthya is also credited with the genesis of Silambam.

     The word silambam refers to the bamboo staff which is the main weapon used in this style. There are numerous sub-sects in silambam like nagam-16 (cobra-16), kallapathu (thieves ten), kidamuttu (goat head butting), kuravanchi, kalyanavarisai (similar to quarterstaff), thulukkanam, and so on. Each is unique and may differ from one another in grip, posture, foot work, method of attack, length of the stick, movement of the stick etc.
