for a start ,the gurkhas are not the nepalis that were in nepal at the time of alexander,they are of mongol heritage ,they came in 13th century with timerlaine,if my memory serves me well,so did the khukuri exist in nepal then or did they bring it with them>need to ask a gurkha
angrejo ne martial art ban nahi ki hoti or teacher ko nahi mara hota na to angrejo ke tukde 2 kar Europe bhej dete…
"shastra vidya" is a Sanskrit word which means knowledge of weopons. This is a Hindu martial art not sikh but Sikhism is come from Hinduism. Hindu rajput warriors taught this martial arts to the Sikh. this is north Indian martial but there are many forms of martial arts in indian. An south Indian martial art is believe to be mother of kung fun.
I'm not too sure about all this in a real world application… Most people that would come at you with a knife are totally unpredictable and many most likely wont dont stop swinging because you cut them. It's like when you play some console fighting game versus your best mate for the 1000th time and play the same game vs your randomly button mashing girlfriend. She will kick your ass several times before you figure it out. In a knife fight you only get one chance and a 50/50 outcome wont do.
I think the level of skill and experience you need to engage in a knife fight with confidence is almost unattainable. Becuase you'd need to experience the real thing not just spar against someone. No my money is on the guy in the bush.
Well put. Real combat skills do look "boring" and "simple" most of the time.
i have an indian friend, i practice different styles of kung fu which was originally from india. im interested in how his ancestors fought.
Sweet, Sikh martial arts!
holy sh** it is awesome….. Tanto knive japan,and Kukry gurka,legendery knive,
Fake nihang
The khukuri you are using lol its a kitchen knife that's why it's not that sharp the real khukuri will break ur sardar sword seriously without knowing about something how can people's make their own lines and talk shit.
Now a days materials arts lol if I had to I'll just take the gun out bang.. Lol
The Khukuri is Traditional weapon of Nepalese people as sikh carry swords or knife the khukuri is the same every Nepalese people carry and khukuri was designed in Nepal khukuri is a multipurpose weapon and khukuri is not from india when Nepalese warrior Gurkhas fought for India they took khukuri there and they started making khukuri
The khukuri you are using in this video is not the real khukuri .
If any one want to know about khukuri its on Gurkhas history.
Very good instructor,
So nice!
I can truely say this man is a true master swordsman! Many of things he discussed can be put into other styles and forms. I personally perfer to wield two short swords or daggers and have chosen that as my style. Never thought about this style of sword before because I didnt like the design but I'll be damned if it isnt effective. I will have to get me a Klopis or Kukuri, I cant wait to watch more videos! 🙂
This Man is very good look, at his center , his movement . He has a Very high degree of skill .Both with weapons and hand. But I do not know ,Master , if I agree with the fact that the Khukuri originated in India ,The Greek KOPIS has a archeological record in Europe as far as Spain in the Ancient world and was shown in Art and in the Archeological record in Greece as before 340BC.. could be wrong ?.Never seen it that early in any Archeology from India ? But I believe firmly the weapon was brought to India by Alexander III ( the Great) and copied in Nepal , by either Greek expatriates or native populations . With all respect , great work good video.
Fencing ,Real Fencing ,is a lot like this .
This is for koundinya75 if Hindus respected Sikhs so much why did the Hindus put tanks in the Sikh golden temple? That was just wrong! You do nothing but use Sikhs……slap yourself please
Nepalese traditional weapon and it's not about shiva
It's not sardars weapon sardars use swords it's Gurkhas traditional and cultural weapon called Khukuri u guys doing copy of it world knows Khukuri is from Gurkhas and it's not for making holes it's for chopping enemy's head and used in close combat weapon why u lying this weapon is not from sardars copycat
I support traditional martial arts, the basics for any modern art of war. Any individual supporting his or her survival on technology can face death with pity when it comes up to needing the knowledge of a non sport fighting art, this type of styles are what is teached to armies and security groups worldwide, because when you run out of ammo or reaching a gun is a hard task, as an option you can always put your trust on a good blade and on abilities. You have also on the bench blade arts like eskrima arnis and silat very popular among special forces nowadays. Thank you master and keep it up it would be of heavy interest to learn with you some day.
how much talking…?????zzzzz
Excellent display. I would like to learn more of this fighting style. Greetings from Oklahoma!
great stuff!!
You are correct, foot work is extremely important. However, your partner broke one of cardinal rules of fencing, he did not keep his weapon in-front of him at all times.
the night comes for use all.

Brother great art i have no questions about your Vidya ,but the Shastra that you used Khukuri that never had a hilt till 18 century when the looks for the weapon were modernised by the influence of the (European swords and Weapons) to have a hilt till then it just have a wooden Hilt ( mooth) as it was a multi utility weapon used in Regions of Nepal and nearby (Variations of the weapons can be found as the art syle changes from town to town),please clearify if the weapon that you showed with the more manoeuvre hilt is a authentic one or not

Great Presentation Master…..-Namaste…..greetings from Jakarta(Indonesia)
really liked you in league of extraordinary gentlemen.
Awesome Video. I have been trying to find out more about Kukri Fighting techniques forever. Thank you for sharing your art with us.
I like your approach to knife fighting, very simple and logical. Thank you for taking the time to post this video!
Khukuri knives are just beautiful. I hope to own one someday.
Thank you for posting.
Yes because Sashtar vidya is related to both communities. Moreover if you study sikh religion you will get to know most of the sikhs are descendents of Hindus. There was a time where most of Hindus became sikhs to save India from external invasions especially punjab region. And definitely a true Hindu respects Sikh and a true Sikh respects Hindu by sharing their cultural identities.
any schools in the united states?
everything about him is Original Gangsta
Not taking anything away from my Chinese brothers…Bodhidharma was the first monk who introduced Martial arts in China when he started the White Horse monastery, he took learnings from ancient Indian martial arts like Kalari Payattu from Kerala and Shastra Vidya from Puri! They further innovated it into Kung-Fu no doubt! but it was taken from India to protect Buddhist Monks travelling from India to China against robbers in the Jungles that lay in between…
I'll tell u guys something, Shastra Vidya occurs in the Ramayana when Sage Vishwamitra trains Lord Rama(Most known!) in these martial arts but much before that in the Shiv Purana.. there is evidence that Lord Shiva taught these fighting arts to his son Lord Kartikeya to fight the demon Taraka! Now people may say this is religious or mythologocal hogwash but the fact remains that these are THE most ancient scriptures in the world having references about martial arts!!
I guess I shouldn't be surprised that a culture such as India didn't have a martial art like this.
No wonder that the brits employed shiks as fighters

I have a feeling that seeing as both are Indians, these techniques are most likely more common among the Indian culture as opposed to one specific religion that may exist in India. Most dagger fighting (Or any fighting) is fairly universal anyway. I would assume that if the Sikhs had their own fighting system based on their knife they carry, it would be VERY similar to not only every knife fighting system on earth, but even more so to whatever style the Hindus would do.
That last part is why I show deep respect for that particular religion.
hindu or sikh is not a difference . to fight against muslim invaders every hindu punjabi family send their elder son to join khalsa forces . my grandfather's big brother was a sikh while my grandfather was a hindu. moreover "waheguru" donot mean GOD it means WAH + GURU means in praise of teacher / sage . in ancient hindu text it is also mentioned GOD is one but its upto people how they want to worship him hence giving independence and no bondation to follow a well beaten track . thnkz
He has an English accent. What is badass about that?
