In the heart of Kerala, 82-year-old Meenakshi Amma, affectionately known as "Sword Granny," continues to defy age by teaching Kalaripayattu, India's oldest martial art. At her Kadathanad Kalari Sangham school in Vatakara, she trains over 200 students, predominantly girls, instilling self-confidence and resilience through ancient combat techniques. Her dedication not only preserves a 5,000-year-old tradition but also empowers a new generation to embrace strength and discipline.
