Egbe Ogun Afrikan Martial Arts Institute Mission Statement
The mission of The African Martial Arts Institute is to promote and preserve the traditional, indigenous martial arts of Africa, as conveyed through the system of Egbe Ogun; to focus on adults, as well as children, in our educational activities; and to share the history and cultures of Africa with our community, through demonstrations, lectures, workshops, classes, films, plays and music.
Our objectives include forming a strong community of martial artists who are skilled in indigenous African martial arts and / or martial arts of the Diaspora, including the ability to sing, play the instruments, execute the movements and techniques, and have knowledge of the roots, rituals and traditions of African and Diaspora martial arts.
We encourage our members to promote the ideals of human equality, cultural exchange, and global peace and justice through involvement in projects worldwide. We will continue to learn and develop our martial arts through interaction with other practitioners and we will serve as a cultural force which inspires the appreciation of the African martial arts.
