The Maduvu, also known as a maru or madu, is a weapon from India. It is one of the many weapons used in the Tamil martial art Silambam. More commonly known as a madu, it is also referred to as a maan kombu after the deer horns from which it is traditionally made, specifically those of the Indian blackbuck (Antilope cervicapra). A madu is treated like a double-bladed dagger. It typically consists of two blackbuck horns pointing in opposite directions connected by two crossbars which also act as a handle. Silambam experts use this weapon to confront opponents in various ways, both defensive and offensive.

  • The Maduvu, also known as a maru or madu, is a weapon from India. It is one of the many weapons used in the Tamil martial art Silambam. More commonly known as a madu, it is also referred to as a maan kombu after the deer horns from which it is traditionally made, specifically those of the Indian blackbuck (Antilope cervicapra). A madu is treated like a double-bladed dagger. It typically consists of two blackbuck horns pointing in opposite directions connected by two crossbars which also act as a handle. Silambam experts use this weapon to confront opponents in various ways, both defensive and offensive. Later variations were often tipped with steel and sometimes fitted with a plate of leather or steel to act as a shield. In Punjab, a madu is typically constructed entirely of steel. A similar weapon, consisting of a handle mounted on an antelope horn, was used as a crutch, and served as a self-defense implement for the jogi, who were forbidden by their order to carry conventional weaponry.

  • La maduvu, en tamil: மட்டுவு; en marathi: madhu y en hindi: singhauta, también conocida como maru o madu, es un arma de , hoy región de Tamil Nadu, una de las muchas armas utilizadas en las artes marciales tamiles Silambam. Más comúnmente llamado maru, también se le conoce como maan kombu por los cuernos de venado de los que está hecho, y se usa como una daga de doble hoja.​ El arma consiste típicamente en dos cornamentas de blackbuck apuntando en direcciones opuestas conectadas por dos barras transversales que también actúan como una manija o asa. Los expertos de Silambam utilizan esta arma para enfrentarse al oponente de la esgrima del bastón de Silambam con diferentes métodos, tanto defensivos como ofensivos. Los combates de Maduvu siempre empiezan con unas muestras de respeto y, posteriormente, comienza la lucha de Maduvu. Por lo general, los combatientes de Silambam prefieren utilizar Maduvu como defensiva en lugar de ofensiva, para luchar contra los oponentes que utilizan vallas largas de silambam y vallas cortas de bastón. Las variaciones posteriores se basaban a menudo con piezas de acero y a veces se equipaban con una placa de cuero o acero para que sirviera de escudo. En el Punjab, el maru era típicamente construido enteramente de acero. Un arma similar, consistente en un asa montada en un cuerno de antílope, fue usada como muleta y sirvió como instrumento de autodefensa para los jogi a quienes se les prohibió por orden suya llevar armas convencionales.​ (es)
