"Helping The World DISCOVER THE WAY of LOVE!"
Although Grandmaster Rogers was not the first to coin the phrase or to develop an "African American Martial Art" He is the first to Authenticate African American Martial Arts with historical references particularly Kwa Asilia Avita Sanaa. Just as in the African American Martial Art of Capoeira, for the Africans who were enslaved in Brazil, became their weapon, and their symbol of freedom, The African American Martial Art of Kwa Asilia Avita Sanaa is the result of slave rebellions, resistance and freedom fighting movements like the The Underground Railroad, Seminole Wars, black troops in the union army and more, here in the USA. One example would be this comparison: In Recife, Brazil as in 1831 in Virginia, USA with Nat Turner's Rebellion, a group of 40 slaves rebelled against their master, killed all the employees, and burned the plantation house. They then set themselves free and decided to find a place where they could be hidden from the slave hunters. They headed to the mountains, a trip that took many months to complete. Had it not been for the help they received from the Indians, this journey would have been practically impossible to accomplish. Eventually they reached what they thought was a safe place, which because of its abundance of palm trees they named Palmares.
Capoeria an African South American Martial Art & Kwa Asilia Avita Sanaa an African North American Martial Art, the same history.
