The effort required to be a martial artist is the same as that asked of us in our devotion to Naam Jaap. 

Then, it is better to just do Naam Jaap. Even in my current schedule. I dont find as much time as I want to Naam Jap. A new activity will be a distraction.

Why did u convert to Sikhi?

I looked everywhere, and while finding bits of Truth, only Gursikhi is pure Truth. The short answer. 

If you do Simran with Khanda, both hands cut up as one, both down as one,  this is not two cuts but one pulse. In the way there is no right or left only one greater arm unified, one greater body unified, it is not you but the universe that cuts while you watch. Both knees are evenly activated about shoulder width apart. If you connect with the Shastar and flow in a settled way while doing Simran you will be shown the rest. 

Empty hand is identical you just can't see the sword. 

The feeling of Naam Jaap is the feeling you cut with. 

In the way Yogis adjust Asana to continue meditation Aiki Dokas engage in battle while maintaining their Simran. The movement itself is illusion. 

Look for the Panj Chor in martial arts. Mma is nothing but largely. Aikido is a way to kill your Ego and defeat the Panj Chor. It is impotent without Naam.

Really appreciate what you bring to this forum, brother. Your adherence to the fundamental requirements of Guru Gobind SIngh really shine through your posts here. Keep sharing and inspiring us all.

Thank you bro. I appreciate you and the Sangat here. It means a lot to me to congregate here and the help and information available about Gursikhi here is incredible. 

I'd be long dead and lost without Naam.

If you want to learn a martial art for self defence then you're better off learning boxing/muay thai/judo/wrestling.

The day of the sword has long passed.

If you're learning for historical and cultural purposes than go with Gatka rather than Kendo.

You carry a kirpan in a country infamous for stabbings. If you want to wrestle or bjj fine but do it in a way that works vs multiple attackers with weapons.

you can only fight as well as you have practised so you are definitely going to have to train HARD naam kamai will open further intuitive knowledge of shastar vidhiya but start somewhere. Husband does jujitsu and ninjitsu , is taught sword techniques . Even doing tai chi you could do sword techniques but in practical life learning philipino knife techniques will be more compatible with carrying kirpan and using it well at close quarters. Best martial arts is to be aware of surroundings and situation and avoid flashpoints if possible.

Thanks for the valuable input jkvlondon. Everytime I see martial art video on utube, there is excitement. I also realize it takes tremendous dedication to reach that point.  I will look into it. Thanks.

    • 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.
