This most likely would fit into the crazy stuff category. lol This is the best glider in the Red Bull Challenge, most of them in the contest just nose dive.

Wow! I'm going to bed now.

Hope I don't have one of those "falling " dreams. Lol..... yikes!
Good to meet a fellow martial artist. Kali Arnis is one martial art not commonly found in India.

Kobudo is. Next to that, there are Kung Fu weapon systems. Along with Indian traditional weapon systems. Martial arts weapons of course.

I prefer nunchakus. I would not be so good with the double sticks. There are some very good weapons experts who use Arnis very effectively.

Fast repetitions and reflexes. Kalari is South Indian martial art where you learn various weapons. Unarmed combat is the last stage.

There is also Silambattam. Stick fighting. Each Indian state will have it's own martial tradition.

Wrestling culture is more common in North India

MMA and BJJ are fast growing sports and Martial arts in India.

I like the Raid movies. Iko uwais.

That's great! Good to meet you too.

Your nation is huge, so the native martial arts sound diverse. I bet there are some very old schools.The only Indian art within a two hour drive from me is a Silat school.
I'm familiar with four Chinese arts. Two are hard/ soft styles of Kung Fu. They incorporated weapons in advanced training with bo and jo staffs. I probably should have started with the simpler Japanese Shotokan after western boxing instead. My dad was a boxer in the military circuit. The kung Fu was complex and circular, but had been tested in combat a few times. The low stances and footwork are somewhat slower, but powerfully rooted. It came in handy when the highschool and university jocks tried to take me down. I didn't get into much ground fighting until later. BJJ is big here too. You'll see one of my teachers use what looks like it in the video I'll post, but this was before BJJ was ever in the area. He was showing us things that looked like Chin Na. He would always correct anyone asking with, "NO! FILIPINO! FILIPINO!
😄
I really loved Professor Presas' weapons training the most. Here's some of his basic ground fighting techniques.

Arnis is a very effective close quarters fighting system. Amazing demonstration of weapons disarming. The ground techniques are similar to Japanese Jujitsu. The wrist locks look very effective. All these techniques are combat applicable. The teacher executes them with finesse.

Pencak Silat is an Indonesian Martial art, not Indian. Different country. You mostly won't find Kalaripayattu and Silambattam outside of Southern India. Those arts are believed to be ancestors of Kung Fu. Kalari techniques are very similar to that of kung Fu stances and techniques with rooted stances and flexible techniques.

You're very fortunate to have a family member from whom you can learn from.

So, do you practice BJJ? What belt are you in BJJ? Do you compete? Do you practice any other grappling martial art?

I recently got a blue belt in BJJ. Still a lot to learn. I do a little Judo as well. They're complimentary to each other.

Do you do Tai Chi?

I know that Jiujitsu is the best in the States. BJJ is the best in Brazil but you have some of the best fighters. DDS. Gordon Ryan. Marcelo Garcia academy. You have the best schools. It's the place to train and compete if you want to take your game to the next level.
