[CFML] One More Question (Slightly off-topic)

[Daniel]

I have been trying to find a school that teaches the Saber,
namely, the Indian Tulwar styles. The only lead I have is that of
studying the Sikh martial art, Gatka. But, these schools in America
are few and far between.
Does anyone here know of anything similar or the actual art,
that is taught within the U.S.?

From the little I know Indian styles they are very different from classical
saber, depending more on evasion than blade work...
But the tulwar is physically similar to the European "heavy saber" (as
opposed to Olympic "fairy saber"). This egroup is dedicated to that study,
not a lot of traffic but we have some really impressive members.
