Why Do Sikhs Lack Self Defence Training


Recommended Posts

If you don't like your surroundings or your own Singhs, then get out of that bed and make a difference. This continuous self-loathing some Sikhs seem to have is not a good thing to carry on. Your comments are ignorant because you're generalising and writing based on your own prejudices . "The optimist sees the rose and not its thorns; the pessimist stares at the thorns, oblivious to the rose."

I'm saying it how it is pal, or at least how I perceive it. And I dont feel the need to get out of bed and make a difference. I'm not a guy that pretends that he is some kind of holy crusader warrior, picks fights with other communities, the authorities, police, or worse still members of my own religion, only to get my backside kicked due to my own inadequacy.

I dont consider it self loathing.. more like loathing of people that act like idiots. So clearly, you have labelled me as a pessimist. As an optimist, do you wanna share what you see that I dont?

I think it would be great to create a way to attract teacher's and student's of Gatka. If this is difficult to do, then perhaps instituting different martial arts programs would be beneficial. I think that Krav Maga would be ideal as it is an unarmed system of defense which was created after WWII by the Jewish people so that no Jewish Man or Woman would ever be repressed again. It is growing in popularity, teachers are becoming easier to find, and it is a real world means for Sikhs to defend themselves and others!

Will it show you how to protect your kesh (hair and beard)? They have techniques when long hair is pulled. But how does this apply to a turban and beard. I know Jews have beards, but they can trim a bit. Also what many believe is a disadavantage in empty hand ie. turabn and beard, how can this be turned into advantge and be used to confront armed and empty hand situations. This should also include ground defence. If you going to practise a gora art make sure you can adapt it to yourself. Else you are waisting time and money.

why do they lack self defence training

sikhs arn't as brave as they were 200 years ago and to many of them don't know how to fight in any form

with self defence such an important aspect of sikhi why arn't more sikhs in the army boxing mixed martial arts

**** To busy down the pub or chasing women , getting smashed out their faces for a glass+++

ONLY JOKERS LEFT ON HERE HE SAYS - DOES THAT MAKE YOU A JOKER AS YOUR IN HERE ..LOL WHAT A FOOL

yes, it does. i am a fool to be associating with non-pathnic dardhi sell-outs.

it's the saddest thing, in fact it's heart-breaking to see the state of our youth. hypocritical, self loathing, passive, selfish.. no loyalty to the panth what so ever. The shear volume of hypocritics in the panth is now at epidemic levels.

I tell you something, we only got history books left to see how Sikh once were.

In uk today, i can honestly say there are about dozen at most Singhs who are actively engaged in stopping beadbi, who care about going to protect the honour of our sisters from peados & perverts..and those actively engaging and supporting shaheed pariwaars

The rest are a bunch of walt disney pretend sikhs, who may as well be buddhists... no no even buddhists stood up for their rights..

The number of useless arguments on these threads and the pointless topics for me just confirms our priorities.

I am truly saddened at the state of the Panth right now.

The abuse of our young sisters and the beadbi of our Guru - happening in uk right now will come back to haunt us. all those that call themselves sikhs will be answerable to dharam raaj on day of judgement, you turning a blind eye right now may work here.. wont work in the after life...

your fake bana's and fake shaster has surely fooled 100's of people here, but not when your standing in front of Kalgidhar..

carry on arguing, mocking, self loathing.. tamasha dekhi jao. parr lekha vi jaroor dehna pehna.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
