    Greece is made up …
    Greece is made up of many different indigenous peoples: Spartans, Thessolonians, Macedonians, Athenians, Epirotes, Myceneans, Cretans, etc. If blacks say that africa is the cradle to human civilization then is it true when whites say theyre superior and more advanced than blacks? Just because somebody says it doesn’t mean anything.

  15. eltoro8787 says:

    No and that’s …
    No and that’s ignorant because every ethnic group has believed in the oldest form of religion known as animism. Every ethnic group has had their own combat system and their own festivals which included religious worship, wrestling, music, dancing, stick fighting, etc. Nobody even knows that african martial arts exist because theyre not promoted outside of the african continent. In order to have influence on other combat systems, you have to promote something in order to have influence.

    Yes on one hand but Greece was directly influenced.

    Every form of combat includes a couple strikes it’s just based on the rules of their competitions, what’s common to many ethnic groups around the world is that their competitions mainly have just pure grappling which forbids striking.
