Shahid is reportedly learning six different forms of sword fighting from six different trainers. A Mid Day report quoted a source as saying, “Rajputana style of sword-fighting is an evolved one, which requires the body to be both strong and agile at the same time. Shahid has been taught bits of Gatka, a mix of Angampora and Kalaripayattu. He is also learning spearplay, as the spear is a customary weapon among Rajputs.”
