Gatka At Bow Gurdwara


BOW HARLEY GROVE GURDWARA NOW HOLD GATKA CLASSES
EVERY SUNDAYS
CLASS 1: 4:00PM TO 5:30PM
CLASS 2: 5:45PM TO 7:15PM

Gatka, the vibrant traditional martial art form of the Sikhs. Introduced by the 6th Guru of the Sikhs, Sri Guru Hargobind Singh Ji and then later popularised by the 10th Guru, Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji.

The art of Gatka involves a series of integral combat training systems that include several systems of duels and the use of weapons of defence and offence. It aims at the co-ordination of mind & body through the meditation of spiritual verses of Gurbani, a holistic system by which the character and moral attitude of a student is shaped.

While symbolising Sikh courage and fearlessness, the Gatka emphasise the preservation of peace and harmony and self discipline through the Gurus teachings.
