There is a new book, the second in a series the first being Dravidan Displays of Daring by Ed Powe, Ph.D. Alot of people have asked for detailed information on the martial traditions of southern india and Ed has really been working hard to give light to these unique arts. His work is supported by purchase of the books and I think those who are very serious about the subject would enjoy it immensely:

Well my "Hanuman's Warriors" is hot off the press. It costs $35 (B&W)
and
the color copy costs $150. There is also a shipping and handling charge
of
$6 for either book. The following is a brief description.

Title: BMA VI: Hanuman's Warriors in Tamil Nadu & Southern Kerala

Description - This volume, a sequel to my "Dravidian Displays of
Daring",
comprises Book VI of the Black Martial Arts series. The first 60 pages
of
the book deal with Hanuman, the Hindu "patron god of martial artists
and
gymnasts" and the remaining pages present five Dravidian martial arts
closely associated with the Monkey God and his descendants that are
still
practiced enthusiastically by his partisans in Tamil Nadu and Southern
Kerala, namely: 1) silambam; 2) southern kalarippayattu; 3) northern
kalarippayattu; 4) mallar kambam; and 5) sadugudu (kabbadi). The
chapters
dealing with silambam and mallar kambam are greatly expanded and
updated
treatments of what was presented in Book V; and the material on
Southern
Kalari, Northern Kalari, and Kabbadi are completely new as are all the
photos in the book. This volume with its 365 pages, 359 photos, is perhaps the most comprehensive presentation yet
dealing
with the Dravidian Martial Arts of Southern India.

Those interested should send a money order to:
