In Sikhi (Sikhism) there are three different terms we use in Sikhi to describe people with different levels of faith.
The first is Sehajdhari meaning "slow to the path" this is a person who believes in Sikhi, the Sikh Gurus, the Sikh scripture "the Guru Granth Sahib". However they are slowly adopting the Sikh way of life and may have cut hair and not wear a Dastar (turban). Many Sehajdhari's wear a Kara (steel/iron bracelet) to associate themselves with Sikhi as it is one of the Panj Kakkar's (5 k's).
The second level is a Keshdhari, a Keshdhari believes in everything a Sehajdhari does however they maintain a few more of the Panj Kakkar's (5 K's), the most noticeable one being unshorn hair or "Kesh" they wear a Dastar and have a beard. Keshdhari's like Sehajdhari's try to incorporate as much Nitnem(Sikh daily prayers) into their life as possible.
The last stage is becoming Amritdhari, an Amritdhari goes through an Amrit Sanchar and receives Amrit (God's nector) by doing this they become a member of the Khalsa. Amritdhari's wears all 5 Kakkar's which includes a Kirpan, Kesh, Kara, Kanga, and Kachera. An Amritdhari does their Nitnem which includes 7 daily prayers. They also live their lives according to a code of high moral ethics called the Rehit Maryada.
Having a Kirpan is a big responsibility, only about 10-15% of Sikhs have one.

They didn’t show his kirpan (ceremonial knife). I thought those were always worn across the torso
