FAQs
What is Ruthranaagam?
01
Ruthranaagam is a Tamil martial arts school based in Ontario, Canada. Founded in 2011, we teach authentic Tamil martial arts, including Silambam, Varma Kalai, Kuthu Varisai, Adimurai, and Vasi Yogam, alongside traditional Siddha Varma Medicine.
What makes your school different from other martial arts schools?
02
We are one of the only schools in North America teaching these arts in their complete, authentic form — directly transmitted through a verified lineage. We do not teach sport-based or hybrid systems. Every discipline we offer has deep roots in the Tamil Siddha warrior tradition and is taught in the traditional gurukul way, master to student.
What does Paraaparakkanni mean?
03
It is the name of our lineage — meaning "from the supreme to the supreme" in Tamil. It signals our connection to a specific, unbroken chain of masters that stretches back through Tamil history.
