Wouldn't it be wiser to have this class on a saturday as a gatka class take place at East park road so that sangat can attend both classes as the gurughars are not to far from eachother.

My two cents worth

Bhenjee, your spot on as we too want kids to be able to do both and in the ideal situation we would have preferred to have the MMA class on another day. The problem we have is the limitation of space at the Oadby Gurdwara. Sunday is the best day as the Gurdwara is free after 2pm and the langar hall can be used for martial arts. There's been alot of interest from the Oadby Sangat that they want some form of Martial Arts for their kids, so taking into consideration the limitations we have and so as to ensure that kids can take lahaa of both (if they wish to) - we're running the MMA classes at 3 to 4.30pm giving people 0.5hr as Gatka classes start at 5pm. We currently have 3 students who are doing both Gatka & MMA on Sunday.

90% of the kids that attend the MMA class go to the Oadby Punjabi schoool and it was felt that it would be best to run the class over the weekend as the Punjabi classes run Monday to Friday and this way all Punjabi School kids can take lahaa of the MMA class. Also, with Saturday being a hugely busy day due to Weddings and Sukhmani Sahib Paath by ladies etc...Sunday was really the only day that the classes could run

I hope that helps answers your question regarding the day & time of the class -

Basically, it was the only day/time that suited the Gurdwara and the Trainers
