Dandubasnaamaanya has created a renewed interest in ancient Sri Lankan Sri Lankan marshal art technique called angampora.  It is nice to see that there is some concentrated effort in the country to revitalise this ancient art and take it forward to the next generation.  Following text is from a wonderfully done website of angampora.org

“Anga” in the native tongue is body and “Pora” signified  combat ( Singhala is the native language of the Sinhalese who are the majority in the country ). Body combat also unarmed combat, was called Angampora as only the human body parts were used to fight.

Main parts in Angampora are

  • Gataputttu ( Locks and grips)
  • Pora Harammba (Offense and defense techniques)
  • Maru Kala (Nerve point attacks)

  5. In the grand scheme of things you actually get an A+ for hard work. Exactly where you lost us was in your specifics. As as the maxim goes, the devil is in the details… And it could not be more correct at this point. Having said that, allow me reveal to you precisely what did give good results. Your authoring is actually pretty powerful and that is probably why I am taking an effort to opine. I do not really make it a regular habit of doing that. Secondly, although I can easily notice a leaps in reason you make, I am not really certain of just how you seem to connect your points that help to make your final result. For right now I will, no doubt yield to your issue but hope in the future you actually link your facts better.
