Words of Wisdom from our Leaders
President, ISSRA
Dear Friends and Fellow Practitioners,
Silambam is not merely a martial art—it is a legacy of discipline, intelligence, and holistic development. As President of ISSRA, I strongly believe that preserving tradition must go hand-in-hand with research and innovation.
ISSRA is committed to creating a global ecosystem where practitioners, researchers, educators, and institutions collaborate to elevate Silambam to international standards. Together, we aim to honor our roots while shaping the future of martial arts and sports research.
Let us move forward with unity, integrity, and purpose.

Greetings to the Global Silambam Community,
The International Silambam and Sports Research Association stands as a bridge between tradition and technology. Our mission is to document, analyze, and promote Silambam through structured research, academic engagement, and global collaboration.
ISSRA welcomes practitioners, scholars, and enthusiasts to be part of this journey—where knowledge is shared, skills are refined, and heritage is preserved with scientific clarity.
I encourage all members and supporters to actively participate in our programs, contribute to our research initiatives, and help us expand Silambam's presence in your communities. Your involvement is crucial to our collective success.
Together, we strive to build a strong foundation for future generations.
