I have some Gatka manuals by Ustaad Nanak Dev Singh Khalsa, which contain all the main pentrai/sword movements etc. PM me if you are interested, you can collect or I can post. They are £10 each.

Is there any way you could scan and email them for what price you name? Is it in English?

Last I heard of Nanak Dev Singh was that he has now taken up SV under Niddar Singh and teaches basic SV in an akhara based in Germany. A lot of UK based Gatka Ustads learned from Nanak Dev Singh.

Again you'll find a fair people on the forum who are "anti" Niddar Singh... or more accurately they dont like ihis particular belief set and he has rattled a fair few cages amongst certain Jahthebandis who as a result...are highly anti Niddar Singh..

Make up your own mind who to beileve, check the SV Facebook group watch the videos, watch the facebook videos... Ask yourself why respected, recognised martial artists are holding seminars and eventds with Niddar Singh.... Pat O Malley (Rapid Arnis), Maul Mornie (Silat Sufian Belan Diri) are a couple of names.

Anyway back to topic, I wasnt saying the 10 hits in 1.5 seconds cant be true. I was trying to get across that Ajit Singh would have a highly skilled warrior without question. So dont confuse 10 hits in 1.5 seconds as the sort of stuff you see Gatka lot doing...i.e: spinning a stick or weapon around and jumping ariund at speed as the same thing.

As mentiond earlier it's acknowledged that the highest vidyas are those of Chatka...i.e; instaneoulsy killing with one blow...skilled experienced warriors have through years of training develped undertanding of range, trajectory, angles, distance, body structures and mechanics...Battlefield arts at "Bujangi" level are highly efficient killing systems...minimal wastage, mimimum energy utiilisation...skill and techniuque based not energy and speed...

'With joy, from all directions, and joy in heart, came warriors of Chatka [they who kill with single blow].'

    • 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.
