Edit the kalaripayatt page

my drear kalariwarrior, one notice ... now the edit on the kalaripayatt page seems to be incorrect. Evaluate your reference one more time. In Kerala, the Ezhavas did not have kalari, instead they had a technique called adimurai. The college is mainly in Malabar. Although the Nairs were the ones who carried out the kalari, the Thiyya section also had kalari. It has been written by all the historians ... It is also mentioned in your book sreedhara menon. Be polite and correct. Some people in the south played kalari but they came from Malabar or renewed their relationship from there. 2402:8100:391C:B62D:CC62:2332:793C:70FD (talk) 13:35, 17 January 2022 (UTC)

With respect, the Thiyya ARE Ezhavas. They are considered as such by the government, and the debate acknowledging that they are to be considered one and the same has been settled on the Ezhava page. I merely changed the term to make it easier to understand. The sources you mention also claim that they had Kalaripayattu, and that the northern style was also practiced in the southern part of Kerala, and vice versa from the southern style. Adi Murai is NOT the same as Thekkan Kalaripayattu (southern style Kalaripayattu). While Adi Murai is definitely related to Thekkan Kalari, it is NOT the same, as Thekkan Kalari contains a large number of techniques that are derived from Vadakkan Kalari (northern style Kalaripayattu). I merely changed the word for the sake of simplicity. People will be far more likely to understand the term "Ezhava" than "Thiyya." Kalariwarrior (talk) 05:58, 18 January 2022 (UTC)

Also, thank you for that source you provided! I was able to add it to another part of the article which previously didn't have a proper source! Kalariwarrior (talk) 07:22, 18 January 2022 (UTC)
