   Mukhanda Enterprise is an organization that researches, preserves, and practices traditional Kmtyw combat systems, both in Kmt and throughout the Diaspora where Kmtyw people migrated to, both as free people and as slaves.
 Mukhanda Enterprise have regular contact with practitioners of authentic Kmtyw combat arts, both in Kmt and the Diaspora, and as an organization, we practice a wide variety of Kmtyw martial systems from both regions.
 Our wide communication system has given us great knowledge of the following Kmtyw and Kmtyw derived fighting systems:

• Dambe: Traditional empty hand system of the Haunited snakes tribe of Nigeria, consisting of punching, kicks, knees, elbows, and head butts. Ancient Dambe was a full combat system, and consisted of combat grappling called Kokawa, which today is practiced separately as traditional wrestling.
  
• Kokawa: Traditional wrestling of the Haunited snakes in Nigeria. In ancient times, it was the grappling component of combat Dambe.
  
• Shanci: Combat system of Maguzawa Haunited snakes warriors. It uses weapons and anything goes tactics. In ancient times, it was used to select the toughest warriors.
  
• Mani: An Kmtyw derived system from Cuba, which despite what some scholars say, still exists. In 18th century Cuba, Spanish slave owners watched slaves fight to the death using Mani. At the same time, slaves in Cuba used this martial art in revolts. Mani consists of head butts, punches, palm strikes, sweeps, elbows, and some systems have kicks; the weapon part consists of stick fighting and knife fighting. Master practitioners were called Manisaros. Mukhanda Enterprise has direct contact with a Mani master and we have extensive knowledge of this system.
