African mainland and Diasporic martial arts.
Final day of the BHM challenge. Great way to segway into the Adwa Victory Day, we’re ending it with the Shotel and Gaasha. For all those who have been on this lil journey with me, thank you for your company. Hopefully, you were doing the challenge too, and just didn’t have the time to record! 👀👀👀
Day 27 of and one more day to go! Today we’re doing some kaskara and shield pell work. I don’t have a kaskara unfortunately 🙃 but I’m gonna use the takouba in place of one. This combination was used by the Mahdist Sudanese warriors during the Mahdist Wars from 1881-1891.
Gonna keep doing it till I can’t no more.
Day 26 of Afro centric style of kickboxing (a hybrid of Capoeira, Kandeka, and Morengy)
Day 25 of going 8 rounds on the bag with Nuba stick fighting. Still a living tradition to this day!
Day 24 of doing some Tahtib to some Fela Kuti. Realizing that we only 4 days left of BHM! ❤️🖤💚
Day 22 of working on some wrestling on the dummy.
Day 21 of Nguni stick flow
Building my acrobatics 🧱 by 🧱. Got a long way to go. 😅
Day 16 of was more brutal to watch than to do it. Here’s a cheesy edit to pass the time. 100 capoeira movements featuring Au, Ole, Negativa, Queda de rins, esquiva nu chao, meia lua de compasso, and half ponche rotations.
