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

According to Reggie Carter-Swinson, the training of GM Rogers, (His younger brother), began at the age of 7 months old, when Reginald and brother Franklin began teaching him wrestling and a game called "Chest" where combatants hit one another in the chest to see if they could take it. Hand sensitivity drills and sparring concepts came later in the form of neighborhood competitions called "Slapboxing" this is GM Rogers first introduction to African American Martial Arts. Hi, i am GM Rogers and i grew up fighting on the streets of Vallejo, Ca. and at an early age my mom and 2 brothers taught me about slave rebellions in American history and took me to learn Judo & Boxing (Vallejo PAL), Wrestling (Coach Foley),Chinese Kempo (GM Bill G. Vargas), Kajukembo (GM Emil Batista & Prof. Tony Ramos) & Taekwondo (GGM Byong Yu). But it was at age 15 that i was introduced to a book that i still have today by Matsutatsu Oyama called "Advanced Karate" it states that "The oldest known record concerning combat techniques hieroglyphic scrolls from Egyptian tombs, dating back as far as 4000 B.C. The African American Martial Art of Kwa Asilia Avita Sanaa is a reorganization of the ancient Kemetic martial arts depicted on the tomb of Ramessu III in Kemet (Ancient Egypt)1080 B.C.E and others and is used as a tribute and as rembrence of the African Holocaust of Enslavement. At age 17 after the incouragement of African Martial Arts Master Maurice Washington and Tammarau Kuntao Kempo Founder Sifu Glenn Abrescy "Ya or Kwa Asilia Avita Sanaa" (The Original Martial Art) was born. At age 19 my entire school was recruited to fight for William Kim's Taekwondo. My first introduction to FMA was learning "Balisong" in jr high school from Greg Carigon & Alex Lago of Sensei Pat Salinte's Shorinji Kempo. But later in 1983 i was introduced to FMA & Wu Shing Tai Chi by GM Anthony Davis when he brought Guru Ted Lucaylucay & Guru Dan Inosanto to Fairfield, Ca. and there i met GGM John Wong. When Dan Inosanto mentioned Egypt as a part FMA history and my mothers concept of anything you put in your hand could be a weapon was validated as a martial art by this seminar, i was sold and i have been teaching the basics of FMA as a tribute to the African American Machete called Kisu Na Fimbo (Knife and Stick) every since. I was later certified as Grandmaster and Founder of Kwa Asilia Avita Sanaa by the President of the California College of Martial Arts GGM Frank Waller and approved by the Founder of the African American Martial Art of Ashan-Tao GGM James Ash. For 30 years i have taught the African American Martial Art of Kwa Asilia Avita Sanaa, (The Original Martial Art), sighting "Chest", Slapboxing", "Slave Rebellions" and freedom fighting organizations like the "Underground Railroad" in North American, Central American & South American as it's history. The biggest goal of the African American Martial Art of Kwa Asilia Avita Sanaa is to connect to my culture and change the worlds perception of the Africans in early North America from slaves to "Freedom Fighters" and in this way uplift the pride and self esteem of African Americans in general. (This is one aspect of American history that has been overlooked or even suppressed in the writings on this subject until now). Amani, Upendo Na Staha (Peace, Love and Respect), to all of my martial arts brothers and sisters!!!
