Angampora itself refers to the hand-to-hand combat aspect of the martial art. This form of combat includes offensive and defensive blows without the use of weapons, as well as complex grapples that can induce great pain in one’s opponent or restrain them. Most of these techniques require complex foot maneuvers.

Among the various techniques in this approach, there are four that require years of practice

Guti Harammba (striking techniques)
Gata Harammba (locking and gripping techniques)
Pora Harammba (takedowns and wrestling techniques)
Maru Kala (techniques that strike the pressure points of the body with the intention to kill).
