Introduction
“Anga” in the native language is body and “Pora” signified combat. Body combat or unarmed combat was called Angampora or Angam in the ancient times.
“Angam” is believed to have been a part of the ancient culture of Sri Lanka that dates back to over 33000, the exact history remains unclear & fragmented due to failing records over time. However, the techniques of “Angam” has been fortunately well documented and preserved by warrior clans of Sri Lanka.
“Angam” was banned by the British during their occupation which lasted for 133 years (1815 – 1948) resulting in some dilution of techniques which was practised during the ancient times.  However, it is said that 95% of the ancient techniques still remains preserved among a few warrior clans that have stood the test of time. In 2002 the Government of Sri Lanka recognized “Angam” as part of the Sri Lankan heritage.
