Is Kabaddi Good For Sikhi ?


Recommended Posts

Kabbadi is good, I have never played it myself but I think it's a good thing as it's a form of exercise which would keep a sikh fit and healthy.

The caste supremacy opinions continuously dropped over the commentators mic are not in any way good for sikhi or Kabbadi, once again it's overlooked.

Kabaddi is good for general fitness due to the training kabaddi players undertake I.e: lots of daandh and bethkay ( Indian pressups and squats), good for strengthening the legs. The other advantage was the breathing control in having to continuously repeat the word kabaddi.

Breathing exercises and control are components used in higher level martial arts.

However kabaddi is nowhere near as good as traditional Indian wrestling such as kushti and pehlwani . for Sikhs and aspiring Khalsa we should look more to the combat art forms for our sang sipahi lifestyle. Wrestling, edged weapons skills, spear, mace, swordsmanship etc. In other words jang vidiya/ shastar vidiya.

Kabaddi is good for fitness but otherwise is just a game of limited use to a Sikh..

All I want to know is that is it good for Sikhi?

This question should never be on the lips or minds of Sikhs, as Guru Amardas Ji, encouraged and organised kabaddi matches especially between children and youths, as well as wrestling.

Nothing the Guru's put time and effort into can be bad for Sikhs.

Bravo to SikhTv who gave us Kabaddi on Tv first and now the Sikh Channel who are doing an excellent job in showing uk Kabaddi tournaments every day.

Kabaddi is more than a game of strength.

    • 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.
