Bothati

I really like this martial arts data base website : http://www.mardb.com With courtesy and respect to this nice website I am sharing some of information I found on this website. If you wanna know more go to this website.



Bothati  is an Indian martial art involving fighting with spears on horseback. Bothati is an equestrian sport from northwest India used as training for spear-fighting on horseback. Conceptually similar to jousting, bothati was practiced by the Nihang in the Punjab region as part of their gatka regimen.
The lance, also known as a bothati, is aimed at a pile of stones, and is usually covered with a ball of cloth for safety, which is dipped in paint so that hits may easily be confirmed.
