Manmeet Singh used to come to the akhara a number of years ago, however his focus on Santhiya reduced his attendance. He told Niddar Singh when they met in India that he wishes to teach Gatka and Santhiya in the UK to promote Dharam Parchar from a Nihang perspective. Niddar Singh has no issue with him teaching Gatka, as long as he doesnt associate his teachings with the Akhara because he is not trained in the higher levels of the art, only the basics.

Currently there is no student who is capable of teaching Shastarvidiya.

Is that true, that there is proper shastar vidiya classes i.e. unarmed, armed fighting in Smethwick? It would be easier for me to get to Smethwick Gurdwara and Friday is also better for me.

Is there anyone on the forum who does learn at this akhara? If so I would appreciate some feedback, does the ustad teach

unarmed combat, grappling, ,wrestling , striking as well as weapons?

Hope someone could enlighten me.

The training at Baba Sang Gurdwara Sahib is not nor is their any claim to be Shaster Vidiya.

Training at Baba Sang Gurdwara Sahib involves mainly exercises such as sit ups, press ups, squats, dips and other simple bodyweight exercises as well as Gatka training to improve balance and coordination as well as some basic self defence and pad work with facilitators trained in Ju jitsu and Thai boxing.

There are no formal teachers at these training sessions but "facilitators" who simply want to encourage the youth to unite together take up some sort of physical activity to encourage healthy living with our community.

The class ends with simple breathing exercises and simran, finishing off with "sakhia" – Historical tales of the Sikh Guru's and Brave Sikh Warriors for died for us to be here today. A chance to look at the great line of warriors we have come from. A chance to look at the teaching of our Gurus and apply them into our day to day lives which is vital in these dark days of KAL JUG.

The facilitators aim in doing these sessions are to instil unity, pride, honesty, respect and TRUTH (practising and being able to realise the real truth) using REAL EYES TO REALISE THE REAL LIES as well as other good morals into the youth of today in an active way.

As well as these training sessions there is a Weekly program on Sundays from 6pm till 8pm,

AKAAL USTAT SUNDAYSA weekly recital of Sri Akaal Ustat , which is the Pavittar Gurbani of Sri Guru Gobind Singh Sahib Ji Maharaaj.

Program starts as 6pm with Rehras Sahib, followed by Akaal Ustat da paat, followed by katha or kirtan.

This program is also held to re-instil Khalsa warrior values, such as the living of a gursikh - REAL REHIT- NITNEM, GURBANI,SEWA,BANA and the Great GurBani of Guru Gobind Singh Ji and Sri Dasam Granth Sahib Ji within the Sikh people.

The connection of brothers and sister doing these programs and classes wish for all of you to realise the power within, the power to change what is, the power to become something and not be held back by their owns egos, barriers and fears, Only very few are willing to brave the disapproval of their fellows, the censure of their colleagues, the wrath of their society.

Remember

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.

We ask ourselves, "Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?"

Actually, who are you not to be?

You are a child of God! Your playing small doesn't serve the world! There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you! We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; It's in everyone!! And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

THESE PROGRAMS ARE FULLY SUPPORTED AND BACKED BY REAL NIHANG SINGHS FROM BUDDHA DAL AND THE MANY TARNA DALS IN PUNJAAB.

    • If relationship with Guru is strong, then kanga is done twice a day, and turban should never be taken off or put on like a hat, there is a lot wrong with that as it is against rehit! maryada is to take off every layer of turban/pagh/dumalla individually, and tie fresh turban each time!
    • the whole 'your husband/wife is chosen for you'/sanjog thing is real, it's just that a lot of people end up marrying the wrong person. they did not end up with the person that was meant for them. my friend, you should marry someone who you feel a connection with and love. there are millions of sikh girls, i'm sure you can find someone who aligns with your sensibilities and who you can truthfully say that you love. sikhi does not say anything against love marriages. you can also be in a loveless arranged marriage which is a safe option b/c both families are more inclined to keep the union intact. i was one of those people who was like meh, i guess i'll just get arranged to some sikh. well i finally started dating for the first time this year and i'm getting married to someone that i love and cannot even imagine leaving. i think it's better to have lost & lost than never loved at all. unfortunately, a lot of people confuse love w/ looks & lust. a lot of men go for the fittest girl they can find and think they won the jackpot or something. in reality, your partner should be like an extremely loved best friend. there's a reason why it's a fact that the most stable and long-lasting relationships started as friendships.  i also think a lot of women are petty and divorce over small reasons, but there's other terrible things like high cheating rates as well. that's why the divorce rate in the west is high. be careful out there.
    • andrew tate praises sikhi too & likes sikhs. his brother also donated to sikh families iirc. they just like any "alpha" religion and tbh islam is the most "alpha" in their eyes. islam is very good at promoting that image. but imo a real alpha man doesn't command respect by beating up his wive(s) or forcing them to wear a burqa. a real man will have his woman listen to him w/o raising a hand or his voice, and command respect by being respectful. he leads by example and integrity. that's true masculinity. you get the idea. + yes, it's definitely true that islam is growing rapidly and making massive inroads. strength in numbers + belief will do that. but rlly it's just because of the birth rate. a lot of them are muslim b/c it's their "identity" just like how a lot of young sikhs will say they're "culturally sikh" or whatever. there just aren't billions of sikhs who lambast their identity everywhere and have strict and linear rules like in islam. besides, the reality is that islam and its followers are some of the most morally bankrupt. you can see all the weird trans rules in iran, bacche baazi in afghanistan, visiting brothels, watching p*rn, p*dophilia what goes on behind the scenes in countries like uae & qatar, etc, and come to your conclusions. you can google all the stats yourself and see which countries do the most of these ^.   
    • stop associating with hinduism, that's the absolutely worst thing you can do as a sikh. not sure if you noticed but the entire world looks down upon and spits at india & hindus, literally no one respects them and considers them weak and cowardly. literally 1+ billion of them but not perceived as a strong religion commandeering respect. 
    • you wrote a whole lot but told us nothing. what exactly did you do wrong to make you feel this way?
