The Dahomey Female Warriors struck fear into the hearts of many colonizing persons who dared to cross the line. Hand to hand - these women were all about the combat! The legacy they left has been tucked away by many males who would prefer to just forget they ever existed. Rather unsettling to have a bunch "girls" kick your a** on the battlefield. The Dahomey Soldiers were true military tacticians and in this presentation, Dr. Germon "Askari" Miller demonstrates the intensity of warriorship - regardless of gender. The "SCRAPING SOUND" that is heard before she begins are the chairs of her Grandmaster colleagues being moved far out of the way. Maybe the "legend" of Medusa was just a slanted story.... Maybe someone ran into an "ancestor" of the Dahomey Female Warrior... Maybe those "snakes" were really "locks" on her head and her expression turned men to "stone" with fear!
The Akeru Afrikan Discipline Sciences has presented before over 40,000 community members the combat sciences of Afrika. And despite being over 50 years of age - Askari is still going strong!
