My relatives back in Khost are addicted to this. When I visited them, I would regulary eat dirt.

Well, the American sure ate a lot of dirt.

To be honest, that soldier demonstrated his ignorance of how to fall as proven by his broken arm.

Judo 101: the first thing taught is how to fall from a sitting position, then from a crouching position, then from a standing position.

NEVER EVER put your arms out to break your fall.
Rather, tuck your chin into your chest and fall onto your back with your arms into your torso and your stomach tight (and shout kaiitsu).

Do the Pathans have a martial art there? Or is that more of a rudimentary sport of wrestling?

In my area (Khost - Southern Afghanistan), I think it's more a 'rudimentary sport of wrestling' as you've named it, the youth pass their spare time with this. I'm not aware of what other Pakhtun
area's make of it but I don't think it's a traditional martial art.

[Falik]

Tsk, they're pathan, they don't need "martial arts"! :-D

[wJswn5l3]

LOL you can't mess with pathans. Good stuff.

[Ephejvll]

True. They are a martial race.

I have in a few 'arts'. Judo, Jeet Kun Do, and what is now called To Shin Do.
Have you bro/Dr Abu Tamim?

Incidently, the Prophet's (saaw) instruction to teach the youth archery, swimming, equestrianship could by analogy to include the role of martial arts, but within the boundaries of Shariah.
As archery today is analogous to marksmanship with modern firearms, swimming applies to scuba and deepsea diving, and equestrianship is of course riding horses, but is also analogous to using all vehicles even flying aircraft and using watercraft. Thus, we should be proficient in Sea, Air, and Land. lol

BTW, there is a legacy/heritage of martial arts within the Muslim world, including silat/kali in the Philipines/Brunei, kung fu among Muslim Chinese, and so forth. Muslim kung fu experts partook in the Boxer Rebellion in China against christian and WEstern imperial encroachment. In fact, Muslims were on several sides of martial conflict in China- for and against. They were a major part of Chinese military and martial history over the centuries, being martial arts masters as well as military commanders under various dynasties (the Manchu dynasty being averse to Islam, however).
I recall African Muslims also developed a martial art in Western Africa- I don't recall the name of it though.

Now I know why I fell for this bird and this hunter.

Since school days, I have trained in Karate (Gojukan of Hanshi Gogen Yamaguchi) and have a black belt in it. But I am developing interest in Muay Thai nowadays.

[Foucceedo]

Thanks guys (Dr Abu_Tamim and Usma2). I'll try to be respectful to both of you!

I am still fairly young (22) and I was thinking about practising Kyokushin Kai Karate, but you have
to bow for example to the teacher and to your opponent, within Japanese culture it's not a form
of worship or something but merely as respect or a sign of humbleness.

Is that permissible within the Sharia if the intention of an action is not wrong?
How did you deal with that?

the original muay thai has a lot of Buddhist/animistic rituals, so be careful when searching for one or learning from someone.

If you are in Nederlands, look for Indonesian silat.

It is not necessary to bow. You can just nod your head slightly. That is what I do.

I'll be careful Inshallah.
By the way, is anyone interested in Ninjitsu?
