Let's actually get down to it here. How many of you (yes, you keyboard warriors as well) have actually gone up to him and discussed your grievances with him personally? I gonna guess not much (if any).

I used to train under him back in the day (but work commitments have put my training on hold). Whenever I or any of us had a question, we used to ask him directly. And he would take the time (as long as we needed) to explain each point in detail. He is always absolutely open to dialogue, but it seems no one wants to discuss anything with him directly! I've seen this pattern for years now.

Now coming downto the point which ruffles a lot of feathers. And some gatka boys may find this offensive. How many people think that what he teaches is not the authentic shastar vidiya? And how many believe gatka is the authentic vidiya. In my many years (yes, I'm that old) I've seen many senior gatka students leave gatka after being disillusioned and join his ranks. Some of these people are from the famous baba ajit Singh akhara from Southall.

I've seen both and done both. Bottom line: gatka is a tamasha, SV is the real deal. Period.

Sv is a mishmash of kra maga/escrima/sikat/FMA.

Nothing of his is original

Says who? Please show evidence for this typical cliché claim.

Says me who studied martial arts for 5-6 years and know what vaars look like what. When niddar started he had different techniques than he has now. He studied with Escrima/Silat/FMA instructers etc and picked up their techniques. Now im not syaing thats bad cause we should constantly be evolving and learn but if you are calling it something that is unique then thats where i have a problem.

I've studied various martial arts for many years as well, and I say it is the real deal. But let's leave subjective opinions out for a second. 

You say he studied with different instructors of different arts. Do you have any evidence to back up this bogus claim? Who are these phantom instructors? How come they haven't come forward with this magical claim that you've just made?

If you look at the various seminars Gurdev Niddar Singh has done with other instructors, they all say it' the real deal. Of course there's some overlap, there always is. That does not constitute plagiarism. For example, a "tiger-style" of fighting will be similar across different martial arts, because it is based on the same animal. 

Ideological differences aside, every time this topic pops up, I always look for the evidence behind the bogus claims that people make. But in every situation, much like yours, there is no evidence. 

What a pathetic plight, that the whole world accepts SV as the real deal, except our own people! 

Awaiting your thoughts and evidence Bro. ...

Again, let's' break it down. 

Have you trained under him? What is your experience? Have you asked him? Etc. 

As far as lifting weights goes; one does not become a good fighter simply by lifting weights. I know of many martial arts masters, for whom lifting weights/muscular strength is not in any way a core part of their training regime. 

As far as eating sausages goes, nihangs do eat meat. And the great thing about sausage is, you know it's never gonna be halal!

Still waiting on evidence against SV.....

    • 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.
