Silambam Nillaikalakki is a traditional stick
fighting system from South India. Silambam is the
name in Tamil for a practice encountered
throughout the whole South India. It supposedly
comes from Silam or Silambu, meaning hill in
Tamil, and Bamboo, a Marhat word. Hence
Silambamboo, shortened to Silambam, roughly
meaning "Bamboo from the Hills", as sticks were
usually made out of a special kind of filled,
yellow bamboo found there.
