Revision history [back]

Rightly said....there's a lot more to gatka than any one of us has known or probably know.

Any martial art including gatka teaches you a lot. It helps you get disciplined, gain good focus, fitness and most importantly teaches you to self defence. Offence, as we call it, is an unfortunate personal choice. If approached in right manner, the martial art will help you curb the instincts of offence also, that is when you learn the true essence of it.

One thing that I have learnt till now is that easiest thing to do today is to criticize. You may have a valid point and the one you are criticising may definitely be wrong, but the moment you set your foot on the criticism button .... you neither help the other nor yourself...and definitely not the cause.

I am sure that the Nihang that you talk about and the folks that he might be criticising donot mean any harm to gatka. Both surely want to propagate the Guru Saheb's daat. Ways can differ and they will, and our habit - we get caught in trying to propagate a way .....the cause takes the biggest dent.

To one who doesnot know gatka and wants to learn it, these things can confuse him. One who doesnot want to learn...these things will not make a big difference(he may feel bad for the a daat from Guru Saheb is being talked about in not a rightful manner) but the effect may not stay long.

To those who know it, practice it, may fall for trying to prove your perspective of it.

Only appeal is not to get in the debates of trying to prove your side of point. If I have one jewel and you have one too, it'll be two if we come together, otherwise we'll continue having one only(who knows lose it also someday). Any vidya including this one is limitless. Keep learning for your name is a learner.
