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.
