Afrikan Combat Arts are the Oldest in the World - [AfricanWarriorTradition]

"'Dr. Obadele Kambon' akyeame.kwame@gmail.com [AfricanWarriorTradition]"

Afrikan Combat Arts: The Oldest in the World

Available from: http://www.abibifahodie.com/index.php/about/origins

Welcome to our Capoeira lesson for today!

Did you know that the image above is that of the oldest combat arts in human history? If the practitioners don't look like Bruce Lee to you, it's because they're not Asian. If they look Afrikan to you, it's because they are. Don't mind the so-called white "historians" and their lackeys:

http://www.blogtalkradio.com/docradio/2013/12/05/modern-combat-masters-w-special-guest-damon-stith

Coincidentally, note Cheikh Anta Diop and Theophile Obenga who turned the whole world of such rabid racist terrorist white "historians" upside down with the revelation that with a determinative of "town", the word Kmt 'Egypt' (iconograph is a piece of burnt wood) itself translates to Land of the Blacks.

When said rabid racist terrorist white "historians" countered with the preposterous assertion that it meant Black Soil, Diop and Obenga showed them in writing Kmt with a determinative of human beings/plural demonstrating that the people of Kmt themselves referred to themselves as Black people using the irrefutable research of their own white scholars and the writings of the people of Kmt themselves:

Case closed.

But that is tangential to our discussion here which is that Afrikan people, Black people (synonyms), your very own Afrikan Ancestors practiced the first combat arts known to humanity on the face of the planet earth. Congratulations!

So below, find these line drawings which were made for Hugh Leonard's (1897) wrestling manual "A Handbook of Wrestling." The manual itself is available online for free at: http://www.archive.org/details/AHand-bookOfWrestling

According to Petrie (2013), these tomb scenes date back to 3396 BCE late in the reign of Senusert I with the burial recorded as occurring in his 43rd year of rule. This is before the founding of Kmt (Ancient Egypt) as the two lands Upper Kmt and Lower Kmt were united later by this Afrikan named Narmer:

Coincidentally, Narmer was no slouch when it came to combat arts himself as the Narmer Palette clearly shows:

Also you may notice how we intentionally shy away from using the term "martial arts" not because the concept itself doesn't fit, but rather due to disdain for the identification of the Roman "god" Mars from which the term "martial" is derived. As an Afrikan proverb states: "It is a silly daughter who tries to teach her mother how to bear children." By the same token, it would be silly to define an older, more ancient phenomenon based on that which came later and unabashedly plagiarized from the original. This would be the equivalent of using such oxymoronic terms as Egyptian Kung-Fu, Afrikan Judo, Black Karate, Nubian Jiu-Jitsu, Kemetic Yoga, kwk.

Know yourself, get some pride in yourself based on the facts and quit pretending to be europeans, asians, eurasians, hebrews, greeks, british, americans, kwk. Learn your history and quit basing your reality on fantasy, fiction, fairy tales, movies, novels, myths, legends, bibles, korans, talmuds, science-fiction and other eurasian mixtures of plagiarism combined with outright lies!

So, now that you know combat arts all began with you, now you're left to decide whether or not it continues with you.

"kNOw More !!!" - 2015 Stop the Violence Breakfast

Providing Community Service, Mentorship and Leadership
November 2014

Greetings,
The Gamma Xi Uplift Foundation is delighted to present the Second Annual Stop the Violence Breakfast on Saturday, January 24, 2015 at the Holiday Inn Virginia Beach-Norfolk Hotel and Conference Center, 5655 Greenwich Road, Virginia Beach, Virginia 23462. The purpose of this program is to bring awareness to violence, specifically, domestic violence in our community. We will discuss the responsibilities we all have as a society to support those who are experiencing these acts of abuse; additionally, our responsibilities to help reduce this crime against humanity.

The Gamma Xi Uplift Foundation has made it our mission to uplift our community on multiple levels. Each year the foundation awards numerous scholarships to graduating seniors in the Virginia Beach School System who will be furthering their education at the college level.

We have an annual Talent Hunt program where we encourage the youth to showcase their gifts in the Arts. This program is designed not only for them to perform their skill, but also inspire them to think about a complete presentation; key components such as timeliness, attire, delivery, and style.

The Foundation certainly understands the importance of impacting and exposing our youth to positive opportunities. We have a mentorship program which familiarize the youth in the studies of Science, Technology, Reading, Engineering, Art and Math. They have the opportunity to participate in social projects during the holiday season where they deliver food baskets to the under-served communities in Virginia Beach. They attend workshops and banquets with their peers from other mentor groups to be enriched with various educational topics.

The Foundation will continue to support the efforts we have in place. We will pursue and explore new opportunities to establish a foot print that will make a positive impact in Virginia Beach and throughout Hampton Roads.

The programs that we provide would not be possible without the support of corporations, businesses, organizers and volunteers. This is where your involvement is critical. We need your participation and sponsorship. Tax deductible donations can be mailed to our address at P.O. Box 64535 Virginia Beach, Va. 23467. For questions you may contact Reggie Matthews at 757-338-2943 or reggiematthews1@gmail.com .
Thank you for supporting this event; and for your support of all the other programs that are made possible because of benevolent leaders like you. The Gamma Xi Uplift Foundation salutes your commitment.

Elementary Genocide Screening 7 pm Wednesday 1/21/2015 in Virginia Beach, Virginia

Elementary Genocide Screening

Wednesday 1/21/2015 @ 7:00 pm
Free - Donations will be accepted
The Boys & Girls Club in Va. Beach

1505 Competitor Court

(Corner of Rosemont Rd. & Bucker Rd.)

Virginia Beach, Virginia

Synopsis

Elementary Genocide: "From Primary to Penitentiary" exposes the socially engineered mechanism created by our government and utilizing the public school system to label elementary aged African American / Latino males as work for hire targets within the US penal system. Many refuse to believe there is a corporate attack on the minds and productivity of Black/Latino youth through intercepting their educational, economical and social development, and resulting in statistically funneling them through the revolving doors of the criminal justice system. Elementary Genocide confirms this theory and seeks to educate parents, teachers and families, so that we can reclaim our young men and ensure the future of our community.

Starring:

Dr. Umar Johnson (Hidden Colors 1, 2, 3)

Dr. Boyce Watkins (Finance Scholar & Social Commentator)

Rap Artist Killer Mike (Grammy Award Winning Artist)

Tracey Sypax (Award Winning Author/ Champion of Change- White House Nominee
