Master Biju Nair is a pain and injury management specialist using Kalari chikitsa and Ayurveda. With over 25 years of experience, he has treated thousands of people in Australia and India using these methods.

Not only is he an experienced and qualified Ayurvedic practitioner, he is also traditionally trained in the martial art of Kalaripayattu and its healing art, Kalari chikitsa.

In Kerala in Southern India, the Kalaripayattu master plays the dual role of a martial arts teacher and healer. They treat the kalari students and the general public for their injuries and pain-related conditions.

Master Biju continues this practice in Brisbane where he is sought out for his traditional knowledge and practical approach to Ayurveda, Kalari chikitsa and Kalaripayattu.

Master Biju grew up in a rural village in Kerala in Southern India. In 1996, he began learning the martial art of Kalaripayattu and its healing art Kalari chikitsa under his village’s Kalari master, Suji Master.

After seven years with his Master, he went on to study with his Grandmaster, Guru Balachandran Nair (Satguru Hanuman Das), through the Gurukula system. Here he was completely immersed in the martial and healing art by living, learning and working at the Kalari full time for four years.

The Gurukula system is an ancient Indian education system, where the disciple receives the knowledge by living with the Guru. For Kalaripayattu and Kalari chikitsa, as with training in any traditional art form in India, understanding and acquiring the knowledge is a long, demanding and rigorous process.

Master Biju is also a certified Ayurvedic and Panchakarma therapist through the respected Dhanwanthari Ayurvedic Hospital in Thodupuzha, Kerala. He has treated patients in Ayurvedic clinics, resorts and traditional centres in Kerala, Bangalore and Brisbane. He has also trained Ayurvedic therapists in India and Australia.

He has an Advanced Diploma of Ayurveda and a Diploma of Remedial Massage from Australia. He has worked alongside Ayurvedic Doctors, Physiotherapists and Chiropractors in Brisbane. He mentors Ayurvedic professionals in Australia, and is the Ayurvedic therapy trainer at various Ayurvedic clinics in Australia.

Following Kalari tradition, where the healer is also the martial arts master, Master Biju teaches Kalaripayattu at his martial arts school, Australian School of Kalaripayattu.
