Sri Lanka's Lost Martial Art | Learning Angampora 🇱🇰
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 ก.พ. 2025
- We were extremely lucky to be invited into the jungle to witness and learn Angampora, Sri Lanka's lost martial art. We start by seeing a demonstration of both the weapon as well as hand to hand fighting, then learn the techniques ourselves, followed by a history lesson from the founder of Angampora STIMA.
A key component of Angampora is the namesake angam, which incorporates hand-to-hand fighting, and illangam, involving the use of indigenous weapons such as the ethunu kaduwa, staves, knives and swords. Another component known as maya angam, which uses spells and incantations for combat, is also said to have existed.
With the advent of colonialism over the entirety of the island in 1815, Angampora fell into disuse and was very nearly lost as a part of the country's heritage. The British administration prohibited its practice due to the dangers posed by a civilian populace versed in a martial art, burning down any angan madu (practice huts devoted to the martial art) found: flouting of the law was punished by a gunshot to the knee, effectively crippling practitioners; Angampora nevertheless survived within a few families, allowing it to emerge into mainstream Sri Lankan culture post-independence.
A number of paintings related to angampora are found at Buddhist temples in Sri Lanka. These include Embekka Devalaya, Gadaladeniya Rajamaha Viharaya, Temple of the Tooth, Saman Devalaya (Ratnapura) and Lankathilaka Rajamaha Viharaya.

Thank you so much Johnny for exploring Sri Lankan culture and history and sharing with the world.நன்றி நண்பா . எனது தாய் நாட்டின் கதவுகள் எல்லாம் திறந்து எல்லோரும் காண செய்தமைக்கு .
We are so thank you for showing "Angampora" martial art via your channel Jonny..!❤️
Of course you are grateful. The theft and this cheap publicity based on made up crap will bring in the tourist as you occupy out tamil Eelam Island... Have you ever wondered why you people look more like bengali s?
@@nl9459 not sure what you mean ? Each of our lives are important to us all. None of of had a choice as to where we were born,who we are born to and whether we have parents,bad parents or anything. In fact we don't have a choice whether we are born. Just be happy that we are alive instead of creating silly ideas like British ,jewish Muslim Buddhist or anything,we are alive and enjoy life.
@@vijayafernando1 well good point.. If you are born in Japan. You don't become Japanese do you. I see a country whose natives were branded as terrorist and have been dispersed from their homelands. Nearly 1.5 million in canada. Same in Europe same across the rest of the world. Taking over our Eelam island home is bad enough but then to take over all cultural references modifying them with made up history is both ridiculous and disgusting..... But hey now I can hear what you'd say next.... We are not responsible for this that and the other... But how could it be true... Why then does ever 4 Eelam tamil have 1 sinhalese soldier in their homeland? Why is your military almost 100% sinhalese? So enough of the condescending platitudes. Stay true to your begali /Portuguese roots and let us live in peace in our homelands. BTW did you know half of you langue is Portuguese derived and is your surname?
@@nl9459 100% false.

So kind enough to you Johnny to showing this to Sri Lankans and to the World about Angampora.

Sri Lankas own Angampora is one of the most dangerous martial arts in the world. British banned Angampora in Sri Lanka when they ruled here because they cant beat this.
They didn't stop from there. They shot everyone who trained angampora to make sure it goes extinct
Yes but they couldnt stop it there were many secret societies which trained angampora but did not show off
MY FAMILY ALSO THE DECENDANTS OF ANGAMPORA...

Angampora is not only a a way of fighting,it's just a part of it. It has so many aspects. Meditation, kundalini awakening, spiritual awakening, healing any desease ( any means any, unless you have really bad karma ). One of the main reasons why British found hard to invade Sri Lanka was we used to fight using Angampora.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Where is this place bro

This was a lost art kept hidden during the British rule. It is coming out more and more now. Even I as a Sri Lanka did not know about it until recently. Great video. Thanks.
Angampora is the one of dangerous martial art in the world .This not a sport , this for the war 💚💚♥️

Thank You For Promoting Our Little Island Around The World!

Thank you Johnny for bringing this heritage to the limelight.
Thank you so much Johnny for exploring Sri Lankan culture and history and sharing with the world.
The real art of Angampora lost its existence a long time back, the British made damn sure that it would never review again.
It is a very tragic story, many people protected the art with their life. It was only passed down among a few family bloodlines and in an ironic secrecy. Slowly many aspects of the art began to fall out (since some successors were incapable and non-deserving to practice the art) and eventually, what you find today named as Angampora is a very small part of the actual art and heavily subjected to reformations.
Johnny, for you to explore this means you are a true traveler. this is a very rare thing even sinhala people do not know much about. thanks you for bringing this to light
Loved it! pretty cool how we've both captured it so very differently whilst still being there together :)
Waaaw super .i supported you .ආඩම්බරයි අපේ ශ්‍රී ලංකාවේ සහෝදරයන් .
Proud to be a Sri Lankan ❤️❤️ & thanks jonny to publish this 💙💙
These martial art style were used for centuries to defend Sri Lanka from Indian invasions, Dutch invasions, Portuguese invasions & British invasions. British were never able to conquer Sri Lanka through war. They were only able to conquer SL via a political cue.
Eg: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Mulleriyawa
@He Man Looks like you know nothing of the historical relationships between Sri lanka and Cholas...have you at least heard of Chola king Elara and his defeat to king Dhutugemunu?
@He Man if Cholas were great Sri lanka should be tamil country by now..but it is not
75 percent majority Sinhala Buddhist. Speak facts. Not empty emotional words.
@He Man 🤣🤣🤣 read the history 1st. Then talk. The most famous chola who got his ass kicked was Elara
@He Man yah.. And when we stopped the LTTE His head was half blown and was hiding in a ditch shitting his pants. If LTTE was roling our asses I don't know why they were hiding only in 3 districts in the north🤣🤣
@He Man 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 even so we gave a nice ass shopping. And we blew LTTE in to smithereens 🤣🤣🤣
Great intro to this once lost martial art and a great description. As you rightly said, to practice Angampora is a rare opportunity even locals get. Keep up the good work Jonny!
Amgampora is all about discipline. Not everyone can learn. However, today some places are teaching this as a business
You are ferting really getting down and deep into Sri Lanka. Way to go!
Very nice and informative vlog! As a Sri Lankan who was never interested to know about Angampora is learning and appreciating about it through this video and comments. I hope to see you do more interesting and unique videos like this in future!
Thank you Johnny,,Sri Lanka must thankful to you as you have showed this anciant martial arts heritage to the world.Even most of the Sri Lankans are not aware of this art
Appreciate this machan. We Sri Lankans learn a fair bit too. Have a good stay, cheers!
This is something us srilankans can be extremely proud of.On the other hand someone who is trained in a single art doesnt do that well in the modern day competitive stage.Thats why i like to see a well rounded fighter with may be BJJ / Wrestling back ground with striking (Mui thai/kickboxing) experience trying their skill against a traditional martial artist.
Respect bro. Thank you for sharing this video with the world.🙏🙏🙏🙏.

Great video about Sri Lankan martial arts..
Non of the european nations were able to completely colonize Sri lanka though they invaded all other coutries in south and South east Asia till 1815 Sri lankans gave the throne to British without War because they all wanted to get rid of the Late King Sri wikrama Rajasinghe because he was so cruel. WHAT I WANTED SAY IS THAT FOR ALL THESE YEARS ANGAMPORA PLAYED MAJOR ROLE IN KEEPING US UNDEFEATED
our gun craftmanship played a bigger role than angampora
2k wants Need to 100k this video.. i love it.. good lucks guys😍💑
Angampora has a long history. It was practiced both by people and monks too. It is more of a spiritual martial art. It was practiced in caves long time back because there were many invaders to ancient ceylon. It was prohibited by the British because it became a great threat for their exsistance. Anyways thanks Johnny for bringing us this. ❤️💪
yes, Angampora is said more than 3000 years old. Its just amazing that Angampora existed in Srilanka even before King vijaya and Buddhism came to srilnaka.
@@prabuprabakar856 I mean vijayas story is mainly a myth. Subsequent sinhala kings had no blood relations to him
Great job done by you showing sri Lanka's great Marshall art of "ANGAMPORA". thank you for your work
I knew you would find your way to experience the ancient Angampora martial Art, as you thrive to experience off the beaten path. having said that, like any other martial art, Angampora is ancient and it's very spiritual, in recent times many young Sri Lankans have shown an interest in learning this and hopefully, they will continue to keep this respectful Art of fighting alive for a long time.

I have met Srilankans. They have beautiful women. They are relatively close to us in the horn of Africa. I would encourage them to become Ng this back into their culture!
Cool!
Some of people think the Kalaripayattu and Angampora are same. but it isn’t, I know the Kalaripayattu and Anagampora are looking similar to eye. But they are different; different techniques, different culture and different history. You could say Karate and judo are the same when you look at it that way.
Ayyo machan wadak na katha karala..Indian un piligannema na..un kiyannema aka ungen apu akak kiyala..
Machan as far as i know angampora came from Kalari background! But our ancient people were so talented enough to make a different martial art system for Sri Lanka own. Its the angampora! Many guys argue we are doing Kalari. Some of the swords use in angampora such as strait blade sword, foldable strap blade sword is in kalari too. But its not, Adopted some techniques from kalari and ancestors were damn talented to make unique system.

This is so awesome one of these days I want to go around the world learning martial arts of all cultures I feel that is the most strongest way to connect to ones culture or religion
Angampora is a traditional martial art in Srilanka..It's old more than 30000years ago..But King Rawana develop this martial art..This martial art is old than all martial arts in the world..and Angampora can see only in Srilanka..actually now we can only see 3% remains from this martial art..Because British people realize this will be v dangerous against for them..So they kill all the Angampora teachers and all the people who know Angampora..Not only that then they bring all the books that written about Angampora to England..then they banned from Srilanka to train or teach in Srilanka..Before this martial art did not teach to everyone..they teach also secretly..they didn't teach to people who can be notorious..Because if some one know this martial art he can kill or injured anyone v easily..person who genious in this he can kill some one even without touch physically..that much it's v dangerous martial art..Angampora martial artist is doctor, farmer and he know woodoo too..Before this martial art giving to only family members..not for normal citizens..Angampora is greatest martial art was in Srilanka..even now in British royal family have lot of old valueble documents and books that they steal from us who belong to Srilanka😢😥
Actually its born out of kalaripayattu :) ancient tamil martialart which Was ravanan then teached it too.
The over exaggerated stupid shit that i have read today . 30000 years? Did you even go to school? Angam means body ( angam is Tamil word) This was brought into this island by the Pandyas because of their close ties with sinhala kings and it is very similar to kalariyapayetu from kerala. Angampora is a martial art derived from ancient martial arts of south india. Educate your self !

I watch your videos often and appreciate it very much. I would like to note this as a fact and not as a critique. Ancient martial arts is not a show that people show you. It is a form of warfare used only to defend Buddhism and my country. Also, this ancient martial art was never passed on to other nations. (Just a fact). I like to tell a little story. During the last dynasty there was a warrior called Levuke. He was like a devil to the invaders who came to my country (during the Portuguese or Dutch invasion) but the people who were personally jealous of him plotted to kill him. According to legend, he did not retaliate when attacked. He did not strike with a single finger. This is because he and all the warriors swear not to use martial arts for the sake of the country or for anything other than to preserve Buddhism. I would like to point out that such sacred art is not sold in the weekly market. The real Angam Guru is still secretly living with the methods of fighting. The Portuguese and the English were so frightened that they forbade anyone to keep a sword in a Sinhala house. I really like and appreciate your channel. Thank you
This martial art is nothing but indian kalaripayattu, silambam and varma kalai rebranded. Buddhism is also another indian arrival to the island.
We srilankans are very happy both of you to showing about srilankan martial art 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹❤️
Thanks for sharing these valuable information.
apema satan krama. Aththatama sathutuyi. I wish you strength to take our heritage forward.
You know it's real business when you see them start with elbow drills. Btw those swordfights were just stylized demos.
I would like to say thanks to mr. jonny. some countries did not know that we have a martial art. this will be a good message to that countries.
Great defence Kristina!!!...You could kick those guys butts!!...lol...You looked to be enjoying yourself!!...Viv
If you think you foreigners could kick someone in their butts who knows Angampora. I don't think it is real Angampora or the person is a real Angampora guy. 😂
@@amilashirantha8004 Totally was a joke lol....Viv
Thanks for sharing angampora martial arts via your channel jhonny.
வணக்கம் உறவுகளே! Sri lankan people, very strong 💪💪🐱🐱. all so this is the first time I watching. Thanks all the masters.still yo guys teach the other.
இதன் உண்மையான பெயர் அகமுடையார்களின் அகம்போர். காலப்போக்கில் இது அங்கம்புரே என்று ஆகிவிடாது.
This is like tamil martial arts silamabam and kaalari copy
இது தமிழ் போர் முறையே,,அதாவது அகம் போர்,,,அன்றய எழுதும் முறையில் குற்றுக்கள் இடுவது கிடையாது,,தமிழுக்கு சிங்கள மொழிக்குமான தொடர்புகள் அறிவீர்கள்தானே,,
இதே போன்ற முறைகள் கன்யாகுமரியில் உள்ளது அவை இராவணனால் உருவாகியதாக கூறுகிறார்கள்,,பல தமிழர் ஏடுகள் இன்று சிங்கள பகுதி மக்களிடம் உள்வாங்கபட்டுவிட்டன,,,
அவர்கள் அதனை மிகவும் பாதுகாப்பாக வைத்துவருகிறார்கள்,,நல்லது
