A TOTAL of 231 young silambam exponents from the MGR Silamba Kazhagam school have set a new Kids World Records (KWR) with the largest online junior martial arts exhibition, Makkal Osai reported.

Kazhagam trainer Kaliswaran Rajagopal said the school organised classes and activities for youngsters to expose them to the ancient Indian martial art. The online exhibition was another way to keep students engaged during the Covid-19 pandemic, which has made holding physical classes difficult.
