Maha Singh

The Aikido thereis close to some elements of Sheshnaag Penthra however there are _some_ bits which are more closer to Chandi, for example the use of Gatthi which he does well. Due to the cynic I am I would say that the skill behind manipulating Gathi is shown when the opponent is more dynamic and unpredictable. changes in tempo, direction, ard ord eeth ooth, rather then charge right in like headless chickens. I would have like to have seen two expert aikido fighters go against each other and see how they spar off each other, rather then someone who runs in open armed, just waitin to get smacked in the jaw.

The site will be updated shortly before the release of the book, they are ready to go up but it wont be online yet.

Smethwick elections today! No doubt there will be commotion

Not that impressed by that, lack of penthra and too hesitant in counter attacking. Pointless to parry someones attack if all your gonna do is wait for something else to come hit you.

Niddar Singh got replaced by Boota Singh!!! Shame!!! Lol Lucky they never met, Boota Singh would have wrapped up Niddar Singh which his ribbons

das has a copy of das granthi - if das wants the das granthi then das can send it to das, pls contact das.

lol.

Well according to the AKJs, you are Niddar Singhs best fighter Dynamic Banda

Shastarvidiya is only gained through doing the mehantha and udham over years and years under the guidance of your Gurdev. Like any other vidiya, it is a something which needs to be practised every day in order to attain it, and abhihaas must be done constantly otherwise you will lose what you have learnt, and believe me it starts to disappear fast if you don’t train for a day or two. The Mantrs and boleh are there for phsycological effect, to settle the mind and prepare it for battle, they compliment the vidiya to make it sampooran, however they alone wont give you the vidiya, if this was the case, every sant baba would be a fully fledged soorma at the stage of past warriors. On the other hand, just the Vidiya alone is not enough for most people, you can be the most technical person in the world, with the greatest anticipation skills, highest level of penthra and baiting, but when you are confronted by an attacker in the street, you lose your confidence and you havent got the heart to smash the guys head in. This is where the Bir Rassi bani and Boleh come in, so the warrior can reflect upon killing and being killed. The main mantrs used in training are the first pauri of Jaap Sahib, Deh Shiva mantr, and Kaal Jaap. If you wish to learn true shastarvidiya, you need to take out the time and put in the effort to learn it, nothing comes without sacrifice.

Chatanga, are you from wolverhampton area?

I saw it this morning Basically the dudes apparently been going around sayin he was offered a farla by the nihang singhs in india when he got there. The poster said that Baba Surjit Singh never offered him one, Navreet doesnt believe in Sukha Degh, Chatka, and other Maryada, therefore cannot claim to be a Akali Singh.

They took the thread down - probably because hes a "Panthic Celebrity" Shame they let other peoples hate threads go on for a week.

There are training methods for the average soldier, effective formation fighting which can be practised and is easily taught within a short period of time. Only a handful would become top skilled fighters, ones who could take on 5-10-20-50-100 warriors at a time, but this of course would require a whole lifetime dedication and constant abhihaas of the vidiya.

The book is more than real, it will be released "soon" (like the websites).

The book was due to be released in March 2007, but as new things are constantly being added to it its going to be delayed by another 2-3 months. Its gone from a coffee table book on Akali Nihangs to an encyclopedia on sikhism.

Most of the topics in Niddar Singhs book have written tradition to back it up, and the oral tradition fills in the blanks. Oral tradition works when there is evidence available, for example the existence of Akali Nihangs, the Misls, the 2 Dal factions, and the Maryada. However this cannot be said for the DDT.

Oh i know which one your on about, ive seen it too, will post it when i get home
