Sri Lanka’s Ancient Martial Art

Angampora students perform their skills using fire in Eheliyagoda, Sri Lanka, on December 5, 2024. Angampora is a 3,000-year-old martial art from Sri Lanka, blending hand-to-hand combat, weapon techniques, and fire-based fighting skills. It includes pressure point attacks and spiritual rituals, showcasing a deep connection to Sri Lankan culture. Historically used in battles against invaders, it faces suppression during colonial rule but is recently revived as a symbol of resilience and heritage. (Photo by Thilina Kaluthotage/NurPhoto)
