Over the last 25 years of his teaching career Master Jothi has traveled to over 35 countries and trained close to a million students from various fields like fitness, competitive sports, modern and traditional martial arts, combat and defence forces, modern contemporary dance and ancient healing therapies. He was trained since the age of 5 by his paternal grandfather, a warrior guru himself in traditional warrior arts like silambam (weapons training), karlakattai, archery, malyutham (grappling) and Kuthuvarisai (hand-to-hand combat). Over the last two decades, with his rigorous training and discipline he has accomplished an authoritative and recognised status as a warrior artist and a healer all over the world. As of today, Master Jothi runs probably the only Kshakthiriya Gurukulam (Warrior School) in India to preserve and spread the art of ancient Pallava warriors.
