  • Ankam ("combat" in Malayalam language) is a fight between two professionally Kalari trained warriors at a fixed place and at an appointed time. Ankams were common in medieval Kerala, and usually stopped with the death of one of the warriors. When a dispute arise between two groups of nobles, each side in a dispute would engage warriors to fight for them. * Organised single combat between two Ankachekavars. Centuries ago in Kerala, south India, quarrels between local rulers were resolved by fixing an Ankam, or duel, between two Ankachekavars, each ruler being represented by one Ankachekavar. The ruler represented by the surviving Ankachekavar was considered the winner. * A war in which the Ankachekavars fought for their country.
