What about if you have to go on an airplane?

Some people on this forum need to talk about things that they actually have done rather then sitting on the sidelines making rules for others. Get out of the house and actually try sparring and then give others advice. It takes guts to get in the ring, and there are practical considerations you have to make. This Singh is actually trying to make his kirpan (and what it stands for) more effective by training. He would be in a better position to stand up for dharam than most people on this forum who just talk.

i dont care what this singh did............ to me i feel like hes repping sikhi it says his body weight is 68kg and the kalas he vsed matter of fact both kalas he vsed are over 100kg he deserves a reward. our youth these days are all for show but this brother real tough singh

He was sharpening the main weapon that can be used in western countries - the hands. Sometimes we say "more Singhs should be doing martial arts / combat sports", but this is wrong. More Singhs should not be doing it, ALL Singhs should be doing it. We should all be doing realistic martial arts such as Boxing/wrestling/MMA/Muay Thai.........we don't really have a choice if we have the name Singh. This would be of more benefit to us rather than clinging onto our kirpans ritualistically and making up rules, but not having the skills to deal with a situation should it arise.

Who wants to follow a religion where they make it hard to even play a sport?

Do you make a living playing a sport? There are plenty of ways to secure the kirpan on the hip. Cops chase, wrestle, try to control, and arrest individuals with a firearm, baton, mag pouch, handcuffs, spray, and a 5 pound radio on there hip. Not to mention the taser secured around their thigh. Including the vest it all weighs 20lbs on the body and restricts movement with the belt. Does this put things into perspective.
