With the aim of popularizing the Tamil Martial Art and help people experience transformation in physical, mental, and energy dimensions, Aathi Silambam Martial Arts Academy is a registered not-for-profit organization founded by Aasan Pathmakumar Velummylum.
Welcome to Aathi Silambam Martial Arts Academy. Breaking down the name, Aathi Silambam: "Aathi" means "original" and "Silambam" means "bamboo staff martial art". We are pleased to offer our traditional martial art silambam to the community. Ours is the first and only school of this style of martial art in Canada. We offer classes maintaining the authenticity of the art, adapting the teaching methodologies to suit Canadian children & adults. These powerful practices help individuals gain health, improve concentration, memory, intelligence, agility, alertness, sense of timing, peace of mind, intuition, joy, self-defense, discipline, and self-governance. For the benefit of the participants, we have incorporated selected yoga practices that help condition the body, mind, and energy to aid the learning process.
Aasaan Pathmakumar hails from one such family from the brave soil of Valvettithurai, Tamil Eelam (Northern Province of Current Sri Lanka), which trained in locks (Pootu-Pirivu), pressure-points (Marmam-Adi),and weapons such as bamboo staff (Silambam) and deer antlers (Maduvu). At an early age, his training was initiated by his grand father Sivasubramaniyam Thandaiyal (a famous sailor in the early 1900s), his father Velummylum, his paternal aunt and uncle on the proud soil of Tamil Eelam. Dedication, love and inclination towards the traditional martial arts allowed him to quickly master the fundamental skills and readied him for advanced training.
Under the guidance of Grand Master SothiSivam Nataraja, Aasaan Pathmakumar undertook rigorous training and pursued specialization of five major styles, namely Marukkanam, Thulukkanam, Paniyeri Mallan, Karnataka Varisai, and Kuravanji. Earning the faith of Grand Master SothiSivam Nataraja and proving his prowess on the various styles and weapons such as silambam, dagger (Kathi), sword (Vaal), maduvu, and flexibile-sword (SurulVaal), Aasaan Pathmakumar was asked by his teacher to take the unbreakable vow to uphold honour of this powerful art before being revealed to the closely guarded secrets of the Tamil martial arts.
The benefits from practicing silambam here far surpassed my expectations. Through these classes, my overall posture was improved and I am able to be at my best physical shape and health.

Expérience fantastique: Athi Silambam is one of the best places in Toronto to learn Silambam. I feel blessed that my son is attending this place to learn silambam. The gurus here are amazing and they have a beautiful bonding with the kids here which nurtures the guru-student relationship. My son loves the classes here. They just don’t teach silambam, they teach yoga and moral values to kids so kids learn the discipline required to excel in the martial art. The care that they take to ensure every kid does the various poses to perfection is impeccable! If you want your kids to learn martial art- Silambam and learn moral values as well this is the only go to place.
Expérience fantastique: My child has been practicing Silambam under the expert guidance of Master Pathmakumar, Karthik Master, and Kaushi Mam, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with the experience. All three instructors are incredibly passionate and committed to ensuring that every student not only learns the art of Silambam but also grows in discipline, confidence, and physical fitness. What truly sets this class apart is the extra effort that the instructors put into encouraging the kids to participate in cultural activities across the GTA. They make sure the students get the opportunity to showcase their skills at various events, which has been a wonderful experience for my child and has helped them build self-confidence. Despite the exceptional quality of teaching and the dedication of Master Pathmakumar, Karthik Master, and Kaushi Mam, the fees are incredibly reasonable, especially when compared to other martial arts classes in Toronto. It’s clear that their goal is to spread the knowledge and tradition of Silambam, focusing on each child’s growth rather than just running a business. The sense of community and cultural pride they foster makes this more than just a class—it feels like an extended family. I highly recommend this Silambam class to any parent looking to give their child a well-rounded experience in a unique martial art. Thank you, Master Pathmakumar, Karthik Master, and Kaushi Mam, for your unwavering dedication and support!
