Another explanation is that the various Afrikan martial systems were developed over time in-line with the environmental, political, and cultural challenges of the ethnic group in question.

Is it possible to be both at the same time? That our Divinities used and continue to use various means to teach us including, but not limited to environmental, political and cultural challenges?

This type of view would be more consistent with an Afrikan understanding of Afrikan divinity as that which permeates our existence.

Asante ndugu Obadele. I agree. I don't mean to imply false dichotomies. In the Afrikan worldview both of these explanations are in fact singular.
