Greetings my brotha ! You may be the person that I can complete my knowledge through.My name is brotha Dannte "cabeceiro" Eskew.I am a practitioner of the african warrior culture.My first warrior art that I recieved from my uncle was called Enforcer or better known as Jail House Rock.We come from the same authentic african american warrior culture.My knowledge of these arts goes up to what you see on my page.My uncle didnt learn the art for history he learned it for survival while serving time in the pen so his knowledge of its origins is limited which until now made mine limited also.I wrote a blog on these warrior arts to see if anyone could shed some light on these dying arts.If you wouldnt mind sir your input and knowledge would be greatly appreciated.Blessings and thanks for your time
brother dante i believe that the plantation styles are the arts that pre-dated pancration and were lost in the maafa (holoaust.) people speak of pre-asian arts but we pre-dated pancration also! see my stolen legacy page at www.jumamshabazi.webs.com peace bro juma
