Bali Kalari's new branch started at Karunagapally on 16th May 2010, followed by a demonstration
conducted by Mathew Gurukkal's students. The occasion was Inagurated by Sub-Inspector M.Anil Kumar,
Karunagapally police station and various other guests like Shri Gopakumar(Social worker)and ward-member
of karunagapally division, Mr. Mohan-Das also attended the function.

Karunagapally Branch inaguration and demo group Talk by politician Mr.Gopakumar-standing
Mathew Gurukkal had been in the Martial-art field for more than 35 years in 2012. He had been teaching in 3 centres in Quilon itself, including the Head-office at his own residential plot near Iron-bridge, named as Bali Kalari Sangham. Many of his students are doing service in Central Reserve Police camp(CRPF), kollam.
In June 1999, he started a new branch of 'Bali Kalari Sangham' at Edappallycotta,Chavara,Quilon which went on smoothly for about 3 years. He also opened other branches at Karottu Mukku, Karunagapally, Kollam to spread this traditional Martial-Art despite many financial & political & legal difficulties. But due to lack of students with devotion or dedication for the Kalaripayat Martial art, and not being able to make both ends meet, he had to close the two branches. people are gravitated to other martial-art like karate or kungfu, not knowing its source of origin. Both originated from India. How did these arts or any other martial-art come to our land? Because .... the Japanese or the Chinese promoted our art well internationally. They did their duty well. But are we Indians doing our duty to promote our Kalaripayat, Silambam, varma-ati, adi-thada, etc to other countries. If we are not promoting our arts and taking much interest in promoting other martial-arts, who is going to take the resposibility of our arts becoming extinct. Is it someone else....No!!...I hope one does feel ashamed, to stating himself or herself as an Indian, keralite or a tamilian, before outsiders. If a foreigner asks you "Which art of your's do you know?". You will have no answer....Perhaps you might say you know break-dance, or rock-n-roll, hip-hop, pop-songs, guitar, western music, karate, kungfu and so on. But very few may say that he or she knows any one of these like bharathanatyam, kuchipudi, Eastern Classical music, tabala, veena, sitar, sarang, saroj, or martial-arts like kalaripayat, silambam, etc.We call ourselves Hindustani(Indians)...but we don't know Hindi fluently or cannot understand it. We are proud to showing in public that we know English. We don't have to avoid other arts....but just realize the importance of what we have in hand in our mother-land, than beating about the bush. First try to learn what we have to the maximum before blaming our art-forms and going for something else stating lame excuses.
