What is World Silambam Day?
World Silambam Day on November 22 celebrates silambam, a martial art from Tamil Nadu in southern India that is fought with a long bamboo staff. It is mentioned in classical Tamil literature, and practitioners combine fast spinning strikes, footwork patterns and defence in a style that looks almost like a dance. On the day, schools and clubs in India, Malaysia, Sri Lanka and the Tamil diaspora hold demonstrations, workshops and competitions.
