Silambam is frequently connected with ancient Tamil warriors and has been passed down through generations as a practical self-defense skill as well as a means of encouraging physical fitness, discipline, and spiritual development.

Silambam practise includes a variety of techniques such as strikes, blocks, sweeps, spins and footwork patterns. Practitioners are taught how to use the long staff with precision, agility, and strength. The staff can be gripped in a variety of ways, such as in the centre or towards the ends, allowing for a variety of blows and movements. Silambam continues to be practiced and promoted in India and around the world, both as a traditional martial art and a competitive sport. It has gained recognition for its historical significance, cultural value, and its contribution to physical fitness and self-defense.
