I wouldn't know...

If one believes in the Holy Bible...everyones ancesestors are the same from the beginning of human life.many people can't stomach that thought because they're more than likely having a race issue.For arguments sake lets just say the Bible is true to every last word...well then,I guess we all have some African in us...then we all migrated and settled,got use to the new atmosphere,started looking very different from one another,etc.So, yes everything may have started in one place then changes & progression took place on different soils,then came along new ideas(beliefs,styles,survival,etc.).With all that being said,I don't doubt this guy(Wayne Chandler) has a valid point and perhaps his research is credible & all is true.On the other hand,it sounds to me that he is just upset that Africa and/or Africans do not get the credit for MA's that he & others believe they should.Now,if the Holy Bible isn't in ones beliefs or if the Book isn't all that it's made out to be,then what more Wayne's research...it makes no difference to me one way or the other...Martial Arts is just plain good to know no matter where its first origins came from..........Good thread,by the way
