Various martial arts including Kuttu Varisai, Varma Kalai, Silambam Nillaikalakki, Maankombukkalai (Madhu) and Kalarippayattu, are practised in Tamil Nadu and केरळ. The weapons used include "Silambam", "Maankombukkalai", "Yeratthai Mulangkol" (double stick), "Surul Pattai" (spring sword), "Val Vitchi" (single sword), and "Yeretthai Val" (double sword).
The ancient Tamil art of unarmed bullfighting, popular amongst warriors in the classical period, has also survived in parts of Tamil Nadu, notably Alanganallur near Madurai, where it is known as Jallikaṭṭu or "mañcuviraṭṭu" and is held once a year around the time of the Pongal festival.
