Hari Posted August 19, 2003 Report Share Posted August 19, 2003 Were swords ever dual wielded by the Sikh Fauj? Is dual wielding taught as Sikh Shastra Vidya? What are the advantages/disadvantages of dual wielding swords? I am interested in learning dual wielding.I have a good grip on me.I have two swords in my bedroom already actually.One is just a machine made ceremonial thing, the other however was made by hand by my beloved Grandfather.It just sits there I'm afraid By the way, the sword that my Grandfather made has a straight edge, not curved, and the blade is about 2.5 ft long.It is full tang and fits well in my hand.What kind of a sword is it?Narsingha?Anyone? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ms514 Posted August 19, 2003 Report Share Posted August 19, 2003 Sat Sri Akal: Hari Sahib, for a look at what type of sword you have, head over to: http://www.srisahib.com/ and compare with the swords there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mugermach Singh Posted August 19, 2003 Report Share Posted August 19, 2003 probaby a faranghi if its a straight sword. Im gonna make one myself someday too. Need some money to get the tools first. I know how to make them, but no money. So it has to wait until i find a job. So if people need shaster. Come to me. Cos i can get it cheaper. P.s if rich singh/singhni wants to send me a donation. Make cheques payable to Mugermach Singh . Aaap Singh Jo Raja Hovie, Nirdun Singh to paveh soie. (bit out of context i guess.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narsingha Posted August 20, 2003 Report Share Posted August 20, 2003 yes, dual swords are used, but not as often as people would like to think... ..advantages are obvious..but it requires skill and co-ordination (...and no...they arent waved around like the gatka practitioners) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
