Review on Pata sword

I have training in the Indian sword and shield work from Kalaripayattu. Definitely very dynamic!

I've seen quite a bit of Gatka, it's certainly dynamic. I've been to a few seminars where a Gatka group has also been, they do demos but also the chief instructor will take his turn instructing which is very interesting. The weapons are amazing.
