CK Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 Waheguru ji ka Khalsa, Waheguru ji ki Fateh I just wanted to throw out something fresh for discussion, based on a recent experience. I used to study martial arts, and decided recently to get back in the practice again, in a different discipline. (Unfortunately, there aren't any gatka teachers in my area) Some studios have a strict rule about ABSOLUTELY NO JEWELRY OF ANY KIND (not even a wedding ring). The one closest to my work has such rule. I don't wear a kirpan (yet) so...what to do with it wasn't an issue for me...but my kara would have been. Instead, I found a studio where the employees wore small amounts of jewelry and do not have a published no-jewelry rule. What if the decision was yours? What would you do? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sikher Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 yeap found its much easier, you can always tie it into your kamkasar(small turban wrapped around the waist) last thing you need is to whack anyone whilst training 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
