4th Annual International Gatka Tournament

Introduction

Gatka is an ancient battle-tested martial art, which uses the sword as its primary weapon. Today, it exists exclusively amongst the Sikhs who have passed down the flamboyant techniques through generations, ensuring their survival despite mass persecution over 200 years.

Gatka is a complete martial system which helps the individual with all aspects of their life: mind, body and soul. The techniques involved are extremely effective as well as visually spectacular.

WarriorSaints.com is the website of "Bhai Fauja Singh Gatka Akhara" which is a Gatka school that has been teaching Gatka in northern England (UK) since 1991. It specialises in all four aspects of Gatka, with primary focus on real-life techniques of knife, stick and sword combat. As well as Gatka tuition, the school also performs Gatka displays for organisations such as the Yorkshire Playhouse and the Royal Armouries, as well as for various other events around the UK. Fight choreography for film or stage productions is a recent addition to our services.
