This extraordinary demonstration videos shows some of the basic techniques of African Martial Arts. Contrary to popular belief, Martial Arts did not originate in Asia. It originated in Africa. The 1st fighting systems know to man came out of Africa. All of the various African Cultures had their own fighting systems.
Kilindi Iyi started his Martial Arts career learning boxing from his father. Being an avid wrestler as a boy, Martial arts became an easy task. During the mid 60s he had the pleasure of seeing a Martial Arts demonstration at the Michigan Sate Fair. Fascinated by the efficiency of the techniques, he decided at that point and time that the fighting arts would be his lifelong vocation. Studying with the top masters of the day in the Detroit area, his vision of Martial Arts changed in the late sixties and early seventies from Oriental to African Martial Concepts. Studying with anyone from the African continent that knew anything about African fighting arts in the United States Kilindi traveled to Africa in the late seventies to intensify his studies of the African Fighting Sciences. It was during this time that the Ta-merrian Martial Arts Institute was developed and it has grown to be one of the most sought after Martial Arts Schools in the world. Kilindi continues to this day to be a student teacher and advocate of the ancient African Martial tradition.
Kilindi has been instrumental in the promotion of African Martial Arts community and the general public. He has worked to bring a greater understanding of cross-cultural Martial Art systems through his writings. He has also appeared on the covers of many national and international
magazines, such as Inside Kung Fu and Martial Arts Masters. Kilindi Iyi has been featured on local and national television programs such as 60 minutes and Strange Universe. Kilindi was recently honored on The Martial Arts Masters produced by Wesley Snipes as one of the Masters of the Martial Arts in the 20th century.
Fighting has always come natural to Kilindi. Growing up in Detroit was a great testing ground for his Martial Arts. Kilindi Iyi is also an excellent kick boxer having an impressive record before his retirement in l981 of 19 wins and 0 loses. Kilindi is one of the pioneer fighters of the NKL in the mid 70s started by Chuck Norris that had fighters such as Benny Urquidez and Everett Eddy. Kilindi has also won many tournament championships in Michigan, Ohio and Indiana. Kilindi continues to teach children in the Detroit area and spreads his art throughout the world through workshops and seminars. The Ta-merrian Institute teaches several African forms of African fighting such as Saki of North East Africa, Senegalese Wrestling of West Africa, Zulu Stick Fighting of Southern Africa, Giddibo of Nigeria West Africa. Some of the teachers who have influenced his Martial knowledge are Baba Ishangi, Nana Ganyo, the late Edward Moore, the late Carlton James, Loren Adams, Hori Apop, R. Woods, Moses Powell and many others too numerous to mention. Kilindi Iyi continues to be a driving force in the Martial Arts World and he is always willing to learn and share his wealth of knowledge.
There are alot of African Martial Arts Styles you have never heard of that have existed for thousands of years. This is my whole point of posting this video. It's time for the truth to come out.
I have studied African Martial Arts, Korean and Chinese Martial Arts. You see this is our problem and how come we are not taken seriously. We know that Africa is the mother of all things; we know that the oldest and complete writings of martial arts can be found in Kmt (Egypt) in a place called Beni Hassan.
one of Detroit's finest !!!
I train under one of his Elders/Students this is truly a powerful and deadly art.
A true diamond in the rough! Thank you!
@anhkhoinguyen, He didn't say that it only developed in Africa. He was saying that the first fighting systems known to man originated in Africa. Not that all fighting systems originated in Africa.
Pescador1, thanks for your comments. Please step outside of your circle of limited awareness and do some historical research, you will not only find that the human life originated in Africa, but the 1st fighting systems known to man came out of Africa as well. This is Martial Arts.
The oldest remains that have been found came out of Africa and it's of a woman who Europeans have dubbed "Lucy". Her remains date back approximately 1.3 million years.
Thanks Keithexum for your comment. Not really. If you actually study African Martial Arts you will see that there are many African Martial Arts styles including using weapons. The problem is that most of our people haven't been exposed to the African Martial Arts even though they are aware that we had Ancient Armies.
Wow unbeliveable..the cloth has similiar with malay culture.yes, the technique has similiar with silat bu we dont practice bouncing like that.im sure this technique of self defense was globally use in ancient time.This knowledge definitley came from the god.
so glad for this video on african arts! thank you
he is very good!!!! i met him in person about 5 years ago. this guy is super fast for his size-- its not the video by any stretch of the imagination.
Dewovoodle, thanks for your comment. What is your point? It makes a big difference where it started because Africa is not credited at all with the origins of Martial Arts but China and Japan. This is incorrect. Once we learn the true origins of the Martial Arts this will cause us to have a renewed interest in studying our history, culture and original fighting styles.
he is very good awesome in person
Skittlesareyun48, thanks for ur comment. I am familiar with Pankration as well other Martial Arts. It was created in Greece. Creece was founded around 1057 BC. This 1st pyramid in Kemet was built 1,600 years before that and their fighting systems or what are called Martial Arts today predated the pyramids.
What evidence are citing that Pankration was the 1st Martial Arts?
Almost as if we were ignoring the opponent-I love it!
@wardoggwyllgi, We should be interested in our Ancestors culture whether or not we are accepted into the culture of our oppressor.
Jinnimage, I never said that all Martial Arts forms originated in Africa. What I sat was Martial Arts meaning the 1st Fighting Systems know to man originated in Africa. Of course other forms developed throughout the world as Africans traveled and others migrated. New forms were created.
GRACIAS MAESTRO por este video, es un Arte que no conocia, GRACIAS.
de Argentina.
I honestly feel that if you start tracing origins and categorizing them by race it just furthers the social divide and paves the way for discrimination. we as the "human race" obviously determines it necessary to label every single action and place them into categories so individual or select groups can take credit and have racial dominance. i believe how ever that this is not important. reason for said opinion is that i appreciate the individual rather than nationality and can conclude
Go study the origins of Persia and you will see that originally the 1st inhabitants were Africans.
Keep in mind that Africans went around the world and many times were there 1st. The 1st inhabitants of India were Africans for instance. They were from Ethiopia.
I have no doubt that ancient AFRICANS practiced some form of fighting as did every area of the globe.PANKRATOS of the GREEKS is not the 1st martial art or even the 1st recorded EGYPTIAN character writing on monuments and HINDU manuscripts prove this .They were recorded before there was a place called GREECE.
What I want to know is where and what is the lineage that connects what you are doing to a very far and distant past .Most martial knowledge was spread thru trade between countrys.
Rb87rb87rb, thanks for your comment. I think you misunderstood my comment. I didn't say that all Martial Arts forms originated in Africa. I said Martial Arts originated in Africa meaning that the first fighting systems known to man came out Africa because this where the 1st humans originated.
Totalimmortal08, thanks for your comment. Who were you directing your remarks towards?
@speechclasstaipei, Thank you for your comment. You should really do some research on Kilindi Iyi and then make your comments. He is know internationally through out the Martial Arts World. All you have to do is Google his name.
Iconqeru thanks for your comment. What source are you using to make this statement? Where is Pankration from?
peace my nubean warrior brother,i have been a great admirrour of your system for many yrs. could you shed some light on the name of the african dance's which show distinctions in martial arts.
Which African country and ethnic group do these particular techniques come from?
All human race can be traced to a common ancestor. The mitochondrial DNA of one prehistoric woman, who lived in Africa, has according to this has been passed down from generation to generation over a span between 200,000 and 150,000 years, supplying the "chemical energy" to all humankind. The out of Africa migration is estimated to have occurred about 50,000 years ago. Modern humans subsequently spread to all continents,
@eretuev, What are you talking about?
Thanks lokallize for your comment. Who are you addressing this comment towards?
@hazza3, He was born in the U.S. I don't know which part of Africa his Ancestors are from.
@NeCacaluXuxultic, they teach some of those styles at The Tamerrian Institute. You should Google Kilindi's name.
whta heppened to circle movement, was cut out
seen it before, but for others it is missing out...
This is new to me. Im not at all familiar with full african history.
My best history on Africans are on Nubians, Ghana, Senegal and Zulu. Mostly due to European contact.
Which part of Africa does Kilindi Iyi come from?
If I remeber correctly it's in Highland Park, MI or Detroit, MI.
i aint lying that looks real and effective
@mumbatik, Please do some research on Kilindi before making uninformed comments. I've seen his demonstrations in person and use to practice with one of his former students. He wouldn't do security for Wesley Snipes and Dr. Leonard Jeffries if he was ineffective.
@keithexum this guy is awsome good stuff
woodoo people magic people!!!
@sweatrice, You should do some research on Kilindi's system. All you have to do is Google his name.
good stuff
Lucy was 3.5 million years ago and she was about 9 years old when she died they found her in the Hadar region of Ethiopia, it was Donald Johanson who got credit for it on November 30, 1974
wheres the rest?
theres only 1 and 2.
there used to be a guy who posted the enitre thing...........
Very interesant
You can visit AfricanHistoryNetwork.
True you are.
@bubbaleon
Did you study in Africa?
HsingYiChuan/ChuanFa+Funga Alafia Pearl Primus and Sun Lu-Tang would be perplexed... and perhaps proud?
u could also say it look like wing chun i like it
were u can learn
cool
where is the The Ta-merrian Institute
@mjrob1914, actually most African martial arts died off. You have Zulu Stick fighting, Dambe, Evala, capoeira D'angola, etc etc etc. To me..this just look like a combination of African martial arts with Oriental martial arts. You should add a LOT of Senegal Wrestling...
that people who want to label and credit race are indeed racist themselves. racism is not limited to white and black people only but all nationalities and what the real point is that we are all just human.
@lokallize if people of african descent were considered "american" from the start we wouldn't have become so interested in our ancestor's culture.
Just my opinion, but the first time a guy practiced swinging a stick or throwing a rock was the first martial art, the first guy to teach another guy what he learned was the first Instructor. What is relevant now is can we meet on the field of ideas and profit from that meeting. I have been in the MA for 27 years and I would covet the opportunity to train with this man. I think it would be educational for me and hopefully he would get something out of it also. With Respect.
This looks a whole lot like pencak silat. In my 25 years of Martial study I've never heard of this art other from this guy.
@kjax2008, You should Google Kilindi's name and do some research on him. He is legitimate.
This is nothing but Xing Yi chuan with some Ju jitsu mixed in. It seems like he studied some kung fu and some ju jitsu or karate add some African dance mixed it up a bit and came up with his own style.
we are in detroit search tamerrian on you tube
@galaxi1999, Please do some research on Kilindi before making your uninformed comments.
Yes I agree, LilBlitz116. Does the Human Weapon still come on? That was an excellent show on the History Channel.
@boneheadagain
When the migrations began Humans were already Homosapiens-Sapien (Not a Mistake).
Why would you say that. Asians learned from Africans and learned fighting systems as well. What makes you think that it didn't originate in Africa and then spread?
Hey mjrob1914 did you ever notice that this martiart very and I mean very closely resembles chinese wing chun.
Humankind originated in Africa. Not saying all ethnic migrated from Africa. They mutated outside of Africa over thousands of years.
@Iconqueru well its the oldest recorded but as logn as ppl are fighitng hunting and killing each other with basicly every human groups have fallen under then u havea martial art wether or not its recorded so that also disproves he african origin
they inhabited Eurasia and Oceania by 40,000 BP, and the Americas at least 14,500 years ago.
have not even seen the vid yet, but feel like defending it. If you train in more than one style you will notice that all styles have similar skills. It comes down to what works / works no matter what part of the world you come from. Even if it is his own style mixed with dance so what. If it works for him then it is a value. Quit with all the it's just this style mixed with this to form his own. Again haven't even seen it and feel like defending it.
@HeadoftheHydra, You should really do some historical research. Just leave it at that you are uninformed about African Martial Arts.
Why don't you think that it's the other way around when Africa existed before Asia and Martial Arts comes out of Africa.
tammerian video on godbros1 come see
us get down we are in detroit.
It's not about where the martial arts started hell i could have started in Iraq for all I care, its about what you get from it, do you just learn it to fight or learn it's philosophies to better yourself in the way so and so MA teaches.
there is a very rich debate of wha twas the first martia lart. evidence shows pankration is the oldest martia lart.
@pescador1 WOW you said Seed but seeds float they travel...Birds carry them to other plants...Bees carry them...ants walk them...the Wind pushes them....so yes the seed can travel. so come up with a better argument.
If you know other people got there arts from you, then you dont have to change anything, because its already yours. When other people copy another people culture they preserve it better than the people whom they got it from. If you stole my car and I get it back, I dont have to change my car to show that its mine.
Correction ..the late Dr Ivan Sertima was a world reknown anthroplogist and historian he found dna from bones and fossils do not represent but are hard evidence that establish facts the Nubian (Egyptian/Sudanese) civilizations is over 6 000 yers old ...thats way Before Christ (648)they developed the 1st martial arts ..
@mjrob1914, nevermind..it doesn't look oriental at all anymore... but it looks hella funny. It's hard to know which ones are real and which ones isn't since I've seen a lot of frauds. You're one of them few that don't seem to be fake at all...I have never seen that move..it looks familiar but the application you use is completely different from the one I was familiar with.
@keithexum It is indeed XingYi mixed with Vee Arnis Jutsu/Moses Powell System which is Klindis background. He's quite the snake oil salesman.
who cares where it started?
Apparently you don't study history and archeology. That's fine. The TRUTH will confront you sooner or later.
There's no such thing as "African Martial arts" as far as I know of (it's debatable considering some Africans use sticks and a shield [well, another stick AS a shield...]) and Africans most certainly did not "invent" martial arts, horse-back-riding, etc. as this guy in the video claims at 2:00 or so.
Seems like another black guy trying to rewrite history to make his race sound superior or something.
As someone who studied a true martial art, I'm rather insulted by this foolishness.
