SURYADEV Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 Soti/salotar/dang/danda. Similar stuff. Salotar is a purposefully designed weapon. Whereas a soti could be a branch fallen from a tree. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaikaara Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 (edited) bhaa ji salotar /soti /dang/ are not the same . Soti is of medium thickness approximately upto 2 feet. Salotar is a wooden club which broadens on the top and is heavy in Nihang dals they use it to grind sukhnidhaan and is used as a weapon too it is around 2 to 3 feet and carried on the shoulders Dang is a thick staff has knots at intervals and is long usually a little higher than the shoulders of a man of normal height Dand is straight and can be as long as a person of normal height Edited March 24, 2014 by jaikaara 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAL 07 Posted March 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 yes quite right and a technical correction there by jaikara however when it comes to training and learning the vidiya then it comes under slotar and is part of that family anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whereas a soti could be a branch fallen from a tree. Oh .Ok Could somebody ask Ustad Niddar Singh whether gatka (which means a show form of shastar vidiya) and shastar vidiya itself have any connection with the south indian martial arts system known as Kalaripayatuu. Also could you ask him what his thoughts are on Kalaripayatuu. I personally believe what Niddar Singh is teaching is Kalaripayatuu, which itself is the sanatan shastar vidiya of india. Even Americans and many modern martial artist believe kalaripayatu to be the father of all oriental martial arts - kung fu, karate, muay thai etc Edited March 26, 2014 by PAL 07 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SURYADEV Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 From what I,ve seen of kalari on the web it seems to be a watered down form of some original art. In other words a South Indian gatka. In my experience I have to disagree that SV is anything like kalari. The bits of kalari history/philosophy etc I come across has no hints of resemblance to SV. I do believe in ancient mythological history there may have been some links ie the rishis and. Kshatriyas of old founding the arts. I would love to see some real kalari. That is the killing art as opposed to some lightweight stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
