India's popular martial art crew, Bir Khalsa group, has represented Sikh martial arts showcasing Sikh war art at various international stages.
The group recently made its way into Channel Seven's reality television show Australia's Got Talent, season 10.
Their audition performance received a standing ovation, leaving the judges and the crowd terrified and stunned.
They reached the semi-final stage, but their actions and stunts were unable to make it to the finale.
Speaking to SBS Punjabi, Kanwaljit Singh, who established this group, says the journey has been challenging.
"Imagine being lying on the floor surrounded by watermelons while a blindfolded man with salt in the eyes keeps on smashing those melons."
"We practice these acts daily, and we practice so much that it has become our second nature now," he says.
The group started in Punjab's Tarn Taran Sahib and has bagged numerous prestigious titles globally and five world records.

"It's my lifetime's toil," he says.
"I was a kid when I joined the Gatka (Sikh martial art). I even used my school fee in learning this Sikh art form, and slowly and consistently soon I formed my own group," he says.
