Shastar Vidya (ਸ਼ਸਤਰ ਵਿਦਿਆ)

Literally means "science of weapons". It is the ancient Indian martial art system practiced by Sikhs, especially the Nihangs. Shastar Vidya is more comprehensive and traditional than Gatka.

Miri-Piri

Not a martial art itself, but a concept introduced by Guru Hargobind Ji meaning the unity of temporal (Miri) and spiritual (Piri) power. It reflects the warrior-saint philosophy that underpins Sikh martial practices.
