Africa is the true birthplace of martial arts. Long before karate and kung-fu were celebrated in Asia, Africans created powerful fighting systems like Dambe boxing in Nigeria, Nubian wrestling in Egypt, and Capoeira with African roots in Brazil.

African travelers taught discipline and combat skills that later shaped Eastern traditions — but today, the African origins of martial arts are ignored.
