[S1ngh]

Is there any place where someone can learn gatka in california?? like a normal meeting/classes?? Majority of the cali gatka ppls are in and around Fresno area..

I know some of my friends do play awesome gatka.. ravi,suman phaenjee and so on.. and they all are from bay area.. just wondering are there any classes going on??

Why not go to Manteca? And I think there are also classes in San Jose.

Who is the teacher in Manteca? Is there an Akhara?

Most of the sevadars at the Manteca Gurdwara Sahib are from Mehta so most of them do happen to know gatka, basics atleast.

we use to have gatka at manteca Gurudwara Sahib regularly once a week, but uncle ji stopped coming as less people stopped coming, thas why we neeed more kids to come and learn, the more the better!

So now the classes are only held at Stockton Gurudwara Sahib on Saturdays from around 5 30 to 7. Luvla uncles jee is the instructor. Baljeet paaji from fresno also use to come to teach at manteca Guru Ghar, but he doesnt come to stockton. He is away in india right now, but he's a reallly awesome gatka player

But yea the classes are reguarly held on saturdays at stockton Guru Ghar. We need more youth to particpate!! So far only 5 to 6 families attend it.

Uncle ji was also telling us about being in a hollywood movie, and all of us including the fresno gatka team were offered to particpate in it for a 7 day trial, its about a guy who drinks and stuff, and somehow he comes into sikhi,

i need to get full info on it, i will post as soon as i get it.

haha vicky paaji i am still working on it, i am only a beginner :lol: i always hit my bro with the chakar or soti, and he's like oh btw i am from manteca, not bay area :e:

and yess i forgot to tell u that iwent to the sacrame

nto thing, i got there late though when they had already performed gatka but neways the displays and everything else was great!
