Gatka is a traditional Sikh martial art. There are two (or more) conflicting theories on how it came to be. One is that it was created from the remnants of an earlier and more complete Sikh martial system called Shastar Vidiya after the British overran and subjugated the Sikh kingdom in the two Sikh wars of the mid-1800s. The other is that it is an authentic system handed down from the times of the 6th Guru of the Sikhs, Guru Hargobind Sahib (early 17th century) who learned and instructed his Sikhs to learn the martial art. Both theories have their strong and vocal advocates.
