  • FYI... Gatka is a sport that was created by our (the Sikhs) guru, Guru Hargobind Ji. It involves a self defense and focus for all Gursikhs. Our Guru Ji made in honor of the martyred Guru Arjan Dev Ji. But, not all of it was used as physical purposes. It required to balance the spirituality of a Sikh and become one with Vaheguru (God). After each war, Guru Hargobind would walk around the battlefield with water, giving it to any soldier, whether opponent or ally. This is the powere of guru

  • @ymerdrengene In overall terms, Gatka is also a form of shashtar vidhya. It is quite hard to demonstrate shashtar vidhya because it is done to kill. Gatka can be demonstrated.

  • @HarkytheCarFreek Wasn't it the british who created Gatka? Because Gatka was originally Shashtar Vidya, and Shashstar Vidya was so effective agianst the british (one man was trained to kill 200 people!!), so the british banned the martial art, and created Gatka, which is more a sport. I am not sure about this, and you might have a better answer.

    God bless, and sorry for my english. I live in Denmark :)

  • @gungnir2357 There are some classes where u can learn how to do this
