TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

While the circumstances horrify me (a singular master of a lost martial art trying to pass on his most advanced techniques before he dies, but not finding anyone with enough experience with the lower forms to be able to understand them).... I am seriously impressed with Mr. Nidar Singh, last known master of the shastar vidya art of the Nihang Sikh. He currently travels between the UK, Canada, and Punjab, and teaches the art to anyone dedicated.

"The people who are here are open-minded," he says. "I have Muslims and Christians here as well as Sikhs."

Nihang Sikh, btw, are the sect which (used to) drink Bhang (Cannabis enfused milk drink) in order to reach out to the Godhead.

Oh, and the shastar vidya practitioners went around battlefields dressed like this:

I hope he finds some sufficiently advanced students. It would be heartbreaking for another art to die.

For some reason, "War shoes with toe blades" sounds really comedic to me. In a sharks with lasers sort of way.

I'm sure that the war shoes can make a kick quite deadly, but  :lulz:

He reminds me of my friend Zach.
