    There was a time when This Martial Art was the embodiment of fearsome, now it's reduced to a mere sport, ....Britishers really were another big curse for Bharat.

      What you see in media is the dance version of it. The actual combat art isn't secret and is never shown in public. This martial art is indeed the embodiment of fearsome and only because we dont know about it, we think like this so..
