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, 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 and 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 Sigh courage and fearlessness, Gatka emphasises the preservation of peace, harmony and self discipline through the Gurus teachings.
