Some really good fighting styles have come from India. I would like to learn more about them but I would particularly like to learn more about some of the fist fighting methods from Benares, now known as Varanasi. Would like to visit there too.

India has some very cool fighting systems. When I was visiting there with family in Kerela we watch a demo and I got some training in in Kalaripayattu. Beautiful system, very athletic but fortunately for me the instructor I met with was more than happy to just focus on self-defense skill sets. I would highly encourage anyone to go to Kerela and train!
