Inspired by the life of Kamerunian Freedom Fighter, Ruben Um Nyobè, Yobè is Afrikan Spirituality and Combatives, a comprehensive lifestyle designed for people of Afrikan descent to heal from racial trauma and historical suffering through learning Afrikan-centered spiritual systems and self defense.

As such, Yobè is an Afrikan (Alkebulan) Martial Art (Montu) purposed for the liberation and restoration of our Black cultural and spiritual identity before slavery and colonialism. It is a sacred science and a way of life for people of Afrikan descent.

Terminology:

Yobè pays homage to Alkebulan (Afrikan) Kamerunian Warrior and Pan-Afrikan Freedom Fighter, Ruben Um Nyobè who fought against French colonialism in Cameroon before the French murdered him on September 13, 1958.

Through the centuries, our ancestors have always centered Afrikan warrior arts into the culture and spirituality of the people from the music within the drum circle to the charms carried by Dambe fighters. The word Martial Arts comes from the Roman god of war, Mars.

The Kemetic (ancient Egyptian) NTR of War, Montu, is often used to describe the Afrikan Martial Arts. The Kemetic tomb of Baqet III shows various combative positions that appear to be wrestling or grappling.

Throughout the continent of Afrika, wrestling is often considered to be our martial art or Montu. Which literally means to get your opponent on their back, belly, or side. Such an opponent has been successfully “wrestled.” These forms of wrestling include the Laamb of Senegal, Ijakadi or Gidigbo of the Yoruba, and many others.

Alkebulan- Ancient name for the continent commonly miscalled Africa

Afraka (Afrakan): “Af” means flesh as in our black and brown skin. “Ra” means the Ultimate Light which illuminates all things. “Ka” is the Living Spirit within all things. To call our Motherland Afraka and ourselves Afrakan is to connect our physical to our spiritual Afrakan Self. To be Afrakan is not just about skin color and goes beyond race.

Nu Afrakans- Those individuals of African descent who are conscious and connected to their Afrikan ancestry, acknowledge their Creator through actions towards Afrikan unity, and live to pass on their knowledge to the next generations forever.
