Pyare veer niranjana, your post was rather refreshing.

I, myself studied Tae Kwon do, then Kickboxing, Traditional Boxing, then a few years of Gatkha, then 5 years of nothing but putting on weight. Now just recently started training again, mainly in an alternative form of highly effective streetfighting - currently has no name.

Aswell as this now spend some time doing swimming, aerobic training and weights.

I been vegetarian for almost 10 years, and which Guru maharajs kirpa, have had maintained a certain Amritvela. Never felt better. Definately no better lifestyle than Gursikhi.

I trained in gatkha for about 3-4 years. I found most students and teachers very undisciplined and unstructured in their approach. I do agree gathka has lost its way.

However Niddar singhs brand of shaster vidya is just exploiting this. His philosphy is perverse when compared to sikhi, and generally convinces youth who have little knowldge of gurbani to counter his claims. He has a few good moves, but nothing on the calibre of nihang propoganda.

The only decent gathka, I have seen is watching Bhai fauja Singh akhara train here in leeds and bradford. The youth at the fore, have now started to develop their own gatkha thought, like most martial artists do, to analyse, movement and effectiveness. To many gathka akharras rely on India Singhs who teach the same old ritualistic moves, most with zero effectivesness. Then boast at how good they are. Similar to what Bruce Lee saw when he first came to USA and when to comptetitions and saw non-combat karate.

As far a martial arts, for many y

ears I fought in free style competitions, and met many excellent people. The key to a good martial artist is their humility and respect, not ego. Those who have this know their limitations, and seek more knowledge.

In martial artist circles, you hear much talk of this style and that style. I personally believe it is not the style, but the training and its consistency that makes a martial artist. Every style is good if you train hard enough at it.

When it comes to fighting, it is all about heart. Having run ins with muslims gangs growing up in Slough, then Fundamentalist Muslim groups like HUT at uni, and Combat 18 in leeds. I have seen it is all about heart. My experiences have taught me most punjabis are first to run, especially ones who talk alot. There are very few Daler (brave) amritdahrees.

Which makes you appreciate our Guru, and our Gursikhs in history even more.

yea we had bhai nishan singh teach us for about a year, but trust me your not going to find a teacher like charanjet singh, he teaches with pyar and he wants to make sure you learn everything properly. He said he is dying to come back to Toronto he just loves the baba deep singh gatka akhara.
