Anil is incredibly skilled with a deep knowledge on Kalaripayattu.  I've studied with him for over 10 years and have always deeply enjoyed classes with him.  He's careful to convey the form of the art and to make sure that students are working safely and in a way that is healthy for their bodies and expertise levels.

Anil is an incredible teacher-he teaches with a passion, dedication and patience that is rare. He understands the body and mind in a wholistic way that is critical to the way he teaches students to gain mastery over their bodies and minds through the practise of martial arts. Though teaching far away from his native land of Kerala in South India, he teaches in the spirit of the long tradition that he has inherited from his own teachers while making it accessible to contemporary learners. Watching him perform is watching an unbelievable coupling of power and grace come together. Learning from him is a transformative experience.
