Martial Arts

[Gurbar Akaal]

the movments r NOT all circular in motion

now i dont like niddar and wa he says

i dont even kno if he knows the art he says he knows

but the gatka we do today is only around 6 percent real prob

there is 108 presuure points in ure body, guru je taught all this

knowing these, there are 6 when hit means death

u die

their fatal

each part of jaap sahib je has its own vaar to it

each avataar of vishnu as stated in choubous avtaar has a vaar to it

there is a art located in india, done by hindus, which realy relsembles shastar vidya of old time

they know 108 marma points, and everythin

howveer, its also a shoot off of shastar vidya, just like evereything else is

its shastar fighting isnt that good, but hands stuff is crazy

gatka is just the fighting of a soti and faree

shastar vidya is vidya on how to use all shastar and their different styles

and how to hand fight as well, which can be ill in a street fight

but not to man people kno it

im nore even sur eif niddar knows it, he might know ABOUT IT but aint sure if he actually knows it

some nihangs in punjab, older once, do know it

pressure points, meaning as in like accupressure? and some of these things are fatal?

*touches self*

Like...... is it supposed to be a certain nerve that you can cut or depress?

[Gurbar Akaal]

The same marmas you heal with (accupuncture, ayurveda) is the same you can kill with too

[Bhajneet]

that's very scary, and even scarier is that fact that there are people out there that know them......... WHAT REALLY SCARES ME THOUGH is that the person can hit it precisely........ i mean....... it can't be that big can it?

guess Uncle Ben was right:

With great powers comes a great responsibility (or something)

I'll have to take my martial arts seriously then, not as a fanatic.

[Gurbar Akaal]

to strike marmas and seriously injure or kill you have to be super precise, some are deeper under the muscle, some are on more surface level, death from a marma hit would most likely occur with weapons rather then empty hand. empty hand hits to marmas leads to temporary disability of limbs, loss of balance etc.

proper knowledge of pressure points / marmas can end fights very quickly, rather then the western style kickboxing/boxing which just aim for the head and body with no regard for precise striking.

[Bhajneet]

so how did the indians find this? or was it Guru Jee who gave it to us?

[Gurbar Akaal]

"Indians" aint as dumb as everyone thinks, in olden times the first skin grafts and surgerys were pioneered by the indians, herbal medicine and accupunture is well known in India, weapons making, architecture, art, everything used to be highly advanced. If you read the historical texts explanations of Guru Hargobind and Guru Gobind Singh Ji with a background in martial arts you can appreciate how well versed in battle they were, especially the description of the battle with Paindeh Khan. Its more then just stick swirling

i think you got the wrong impression, i mean like....... did htey just push people in a lotta places and wait for them to die?

Of course not, find a spot on your body, imagine if you got stabbed there, what are your chances of dying, does the area have a strong blood supply? if so you could die if you were hit in a correct spot, if its not a fleshy area nor a marma spot your chances of dying are unlikely.

[Gurbar Akaal]

Please note, the chances of a trained fighter attacking you with a knife in the street is highly unlikely, so dont get paranoid

I suggest you take up a all rounded martial art which teaches you practicality of every day situations, rather then waste ages going through formalities of katas and drills, you want combat experience through sparing and mock attacks.
