As a student at our university's sports club, I am learning about Meithari first, focusing on body conditioning and flexibility through rigorous exercises. Kolthari comes next, where we handle wooden weapons like the "kettukari" staff, which reminds me of my grandfather's stories of village stick-fighting. Then, Ankathari introduces metal weapons, and finally, Verumkai is bare-handed combat. Actually, in our club, we spend so much time perfecting Meithari that moving to Kolthari feels like a distant dream—our coach insists that without a strong foundation, the "ledger of movement" will never balance.
