My Story.
 My Mission.

Silambam is Tamilnadu’s one of the most ancient and traditional form of art that is known for its bravery. Silambam can be practiced as an exercise, for self defense and for exhibiting one’s talent. Before we start the practice of Silambam, I would like to share some valuable things with you all.

During the 19th century my great grandfather Arunagri and his son Gurusamy Naayakar (entitled as Amarar Silambam Naayakar) had a gurukulam that trained many people in the field of Silambam, Medicine, Magic etc.. Following the footsteps my grandfather Amarar Thiru. Arumugam Naayakar and my father Thiru.A.Boobalan have been training many people in the art of Silambam with sheer passion.

With keen interests from my childhood days I learned Silambam from my grandfather and father respectively. I then developed my skills on Silambam from
Silambam Aasan Amarar ‘Kalli’ Gopal,
Thiru.Krishna from AndhraPradesh ,
Pondicherry “Saarpatta Parambarai’ Thiru.Chinnappan,
Thanjavur CholaMazhi Silambam Master Zakhir Ammapalayam Thiru. Chellapan and
Erode Karungalpalayam Amarar Thiru. Aarumugham.

With help of this above Silambam knowledge trained many people for service including my wife Vijayakumari (Ex State Secretary TamilNadu Womens Silambattam Association) and my two sons Silambazhagan (B.Com (CA).,B.L.,P.G.Dip. in Silambam) and Silambamuthan(M.Tech (VLSI Design) .,P.G.Dip. in Silambam) . In the year 1984, I won the first place (50-60Kg category) in the 3rd state-wide Silambam competition organized by Tamilnadu Silambatam Association. I secured the first place and was endowed with the title of ‘Aasan Sigamani’ in the state level event organized by “Tamilnadu Udal Pathukappu kalai kazhagam” at Sivakasi.
