Martin Luther King Jr. Movements-Grappling style of the African American Martial Art of Ya or Kwa Asilia A Vita Sanaa are also called African Kimarekani Mkazo Ncha Shikana (African American Pressure Point Grappling). During the 1960s Martin Luther King Jr. and others used a passive or non-violent resistance strategy to combat the unfair and sometimes deadly violent conditions of Black Americans imposed on them by America, and thereby using the United States media to use Americas force against them to stop these abusive practices. Grandmaster Rogers founder of Kwa Asilia A Vita Sanaa has found this strategy to be synonymous to that used in the grappling found in ancient Africa on Egyptian tombs dating as far back as 4000 BC. And the 1880s Japanese creation of Jigaro Kanos Judo. Where he coined the phase Push when pulled and pull when pushed. Meaning to use an opponents force against them. It is for this reason that we honor Dr. King with this segment of our African American Martial Art. African American Shadow Boxing (School of Mixed Martial Arts) youtu.be/fEP0ecajeb0
