Martial Arts In Egypt

A blend of ancient and modern martial arts can be found in Egypt.

Traditional fighting styles like the stick-fighting art of Tahtib exist alongside modern combat sports such as Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and MMA. Cairo, in particular, is a hub for contemporary martial arts gyms.

Ancient Egyptian combat arts

Based on ancient carvings, Egyptian fighters traditionally trained in three disciplines: stick-fighting, wrestling, and archery. Two systems, Tahtib and Aha' Kamat, are attempts to reconstruct these fighting methods.
