(11-5-2011 United States Martial Arts Festival) Witness African Martial Arts disguised as dance in the United States (The African American Foot Fighting or Knocking and Kicking [Kugonga Na MaTeke]) of the African American Martial Art of "Kwa or Ya Asilia Avita Sanaa", Brazil (Capoeira), and Martinique(Ladja). Notice the simularities!!! The Charleston dance has been traced back to blacks who lived on an island off the coast of Charleston, South Carolina (which is why the dance is called "Charleston"). Many Africans were brought from Angola to the Carolinas because of their knowledge of rice planting. Also most of the Africans sent to Brazil were from the Angolan region where the call the dance the Jinga.
