Discussing African and European Swordplay
Join us as we discuss the similarities and differences between African and European swordplay, and look at the wider context that influenced their development. This seminar will explore how historical martial arts are reconstructed and where they fit in a broader historical context. The seminar will also shed light on the histories of the peoples of the African continent and the African diaspora.
We will be joined for the seminar by Adam Myrie. Adam is the Chief Operations Officer of the HAMA Association (
https://hamaassociation.wordpress.com/). His role is to manage the functional infrastructure of the association.
Adam has years of experience in various combat arts including Kickboxing, Modern Tahtib, El Matreg, and a short stint with Capoeira. Adam has been a passionate lover of martial arts theory and practice. Adam has an MBA from Ryerson University and speaks 4 languages.
One of his favourite fields of study is that of African civilizations and military history. Adam is also a fantasy author, blogger, and voracious reader of poetry.
