| most of the well established African arts are fairly complete systems. they include but not limited to nerve strikes, pressure points, take downs, grappling, & weapons
and in Africa in alot of villiages an cities. if you say your some kind of martial artist. your peers wont just say hey thats great, lets sit down an have a cup of tea an discuss
they say.....ok....show me. basically a challenge if you show your a good fighter cool. if you get your butt kicked then your just a joke not to be taken seriously.
in some neighborhoods, pitt fights, wrestling matches, or other martial arts bouts are used to settle differences such as guy loses his girlfriend to other guy or other kinds of disputes.
being in this kind of enviroment where you have to train realistically and fight is what makes some of these arts better
my capoiera history is kinda shabby......have to check up again
