West Afrikan Sword Dance (Combat Applications) #2

My Montu (martial) focus is in West Afrikan and Afrikan Diasporic combat arts. I do this through the modality of modern stick fighting as well as West Afrikan sword dances. In this video, I combined aspects of the Agbekor dance of the Ewe people, and the N'aye dance of the Balanta people. These both feature techniques that seem applicable to modern stick/sword fighting, which gives us an idea of how West Afrikan sword styles looked.

We need a west African character for the soul caliber or samurai showdown series

[@kreativeforce532]

support African artists who create and own our own intellectual property instead of investing in eurasian i.p. with an african character here and there 😡. there's no representation like self-representation.

That would be awesome making my game right now

I agree, it would be really unlikely that Diasporic arts "got" their thrusts from European sources.

Tchosso (Indeed).

I love what your doing brother, keep it going.

can you provide a link to full versions of these dances? I think it would be helpful to analyze the full dances as they can provide further context to some of the moves.
