INDIA---The International Sikh Martial Art Academy organized their first Hola Mohalla Virsa Sambhal Gatka tournament under the aegis of Gatka Federation of India (GFI) in which eight Gatka teams demonstrated their fighting skills. [T]he Gatka Federation has taken major initiatives to revive, and promote, the rare art of gatka as a sport in India, and abroad. By organizing Virsa Sambhal Gatka competitions to perpetuate the rich legacy of age-old martial art Gatka amongst future generations, they hope to revive the dying art. The martial art of Gatka is a style of fighting with sticks between two or more Gatka players. Sticks are intended to simulate the sword with a focus of infusing physical, spiritual and mental fitness. [link]
