Real good video! As a capoerista, the Montu arts definitely seem to capture how capoeira came to be. As a Colombian, I had no idea the falso steps were so similar. Thanks brother.
Peace! Uprock foundation- top rock is a component... as above so below... This is Jailhouse Rock with the NY 52 flare. Even this can be broken down to regional/cultural/environmental aesthetics in the Americas
While there is no doubt that there were martial arts in Africa, this does not mean that it is the roots of all martial arts. This suffers the same kind of logic that all arts descend from Shaolin, or that all arts came from India. People have been fighting as long as the human race has been walking this earth, and many similarities in styles from distant locations is much easier to explain and understand as the human body is built the same way in every section of the world. There are height differences, and weight differences, but the standard is two arms, tow legs attached to a body. Therefore movement is going to be similar. Occam's razor will tell you that simultaneous development is much more likely than one tribe discovering how to fight with fists and feet, or how to wrestle, then showing the entire world how to do it.
I would say the father or mother of the top rock would be the Charleston which directly come from knocking and kicking from the Gullah Geechee traditions
I actually learned an african art that I was told was from the Sudan area. It's very old. I don't know how to spell it in its original language but the name sounds like "Cleo-pie". Its a direct predecessor to kung fu
@@rasaroots6309 Hello. You are welcome brother. Wonderful, I can’t wait until you post those videos. I hope you have a delightful day. By the way, is that the Balanta language?
Thank you for sharing! I learned how you showed how all the footwork comes from African roots. I’m an Asian Capoeirista and have adopted Capoeira as a way of life and so this gives me more dimensions to work with. There are many common striking moves across the fighting arts from different cultures but yet they’re fundamentally the same coz the human body is basically the same structure, just different features and colors. Very enlightening, thanks again!
"African" is such a broad word. Where in Africa were they fighting like that? In the walls of Kemet I can see the arm movements, but I can't find anything regarding the swaying.
Notice the title of the video is: African "Diasporic" Footwork. These are Montu movements performed by Afrikans in the diaspora, not necessarily the continent. If you want to learn some continental Afrikan footwork, I suggest you watch my video series called "Afrikan Sword Dances". Fâyé.
The uprock was created by Puerto Rican guys. And for 52 rock it's has some dubious lying history just like hip hop(hip hop base it was created by female then men made degenerate,sampling and stealing)..52 is not jailhouse rock because it wasn't either created in prison. It comes from boxer that fuaght dirty later on they apply the wing Chun blocks like pasao I can't remember it's term. Because I'm not a chunner.
It did not come from no boxer that was fighting dirty nor did they had anything to do with Wing Chun they always fought like that a good example is slave fighting nor did the Puerto Ricans come up with top rock and if they do top rock you know why they do it too because the Puerto Ricans have African in them
@@zur2016 it did come from a Pro boxer that did dirty boxing, the later on some foo exaggerated with bs history that came from Egypt/prison/boxing blah blah blah. lite burly pre learn wing Chun blocks (the cross bones block came from old wing Chun/Silat) The rock and down rock came from new yorkrican that use salsa inspired movement, that also inspired by Spain Bolero. Puerto Rican has tree mixing of culture. (In my opinion Puerto Rican American in BX are Blackwash. They have no spine representing their mix culture, so they follow this communist ideology from the states/black like to claim things that doesn't belong to them since they got that self-hate, so they make up lies so people like them)
@@hotpopcorncake first off it didn't come from no boxer that did dirty boxing African Americans been fighting this way nor I do I believe the Egyptian thing and the cross block been a technique for negro fighters all throughout the history in America nor does that block has any connection to the Wing Chun technique and Wing Chun doesn't have blocks they have deflex I know about Wing Chong I seen their techniques it doesn't look like the negro fighters cross guard so they didn't get nothing from Wing Chun or silat and you do not know a lot apparently because you do not know the salsa comes from a African dance that looks exactly like it and that all the Spanish dances come from that dance so it's a African dance and again the Puerto Ricans didn't come up with the toprock and what shows you don't know enough is that dirty boxing cannot be where it came from because black people came up with this fighting style and the first big thing black people fighting in America was slave fighting so there was nothing dirty about slave fighting and there has been documented information on how the slaves fought different and they had some strange stances and how they hold their arms was different and they said they look like they was flailing their arms around and they're also in document information of slaves being blindfolded white men fighting them and losing to a blindfolded slave because he had strange movement to them and now lets have a time skip to boxing did not let black people fight white people at first and when the first black person fought a white person which was Jack Johnson they said he fought like a coward because he was always moving around and he blocked duck and dodged which they said was strange to them and you look at them he fought like your average black boxer nothing abnormal to see but it was strange to them you do not have to be a genius to put two and two together you just have to be not delusional and stuck in a false belief

Thankh you! Yes, it is my intention to showcase these similarities in various Afrikan combat/Montu styles.
Theres an old korean art called taekkkyeon that utilizes the same front triangle concept. Undoubtedly acquired this from african cukture
Great instructional video .with alot of African history . . Thanks bro for the inspiration.
A lot of the 52 guys and the elders of 52 say b-boy elements are a part of 52 blocks.✊🏿❤🖤💚
I share the same sentiment, which is why I included it here. It's all connected, we just have to put the pieces together.
@@rasaroots6309 that's so true my brother keep up the good work

@@Kmmtkmunk PEACE. No lies detected.
What the European doesn't want you to know
As a white European, I would like to know the greatness of African martial arts to everyone.

Africa is the origin of humanity, which means martial arts originaged in Africa.
Great video fascinating similarities to modern-day breakdancing, could that be ancient DNA memory. I think so 😮
