HOW KNOWLEDGE OF OGUN'S PATAKI EMPOWERS COMBAT STRATEGIES

 

The sacred number of Ogun, the Yoruba god of war and iron, is seven, and this number holds a profound significance in the realm of African spirituality. One of the intriguing pataki, or myths, surrounding Ogun is that he imparts his martial wisdom to his warriors through a structured system that involves seven key components: attacks, defenses, feints, footwork patterns, level changes, targeting, and more. This numerical framework represents not only Ogun's martial prowess but also his connection to the mystical power of the number seven.

Mwalimu Mtaalam Ras Fletcher, a modern-day practitioner of African martial traditions, has taken this sacred knowledge and applied it to the core of his martial art system, Njia Uhuru Kipura. Within this system, the influence of Ogun's teachings is graphed and merged with the principles of human performance sciences, creating a holistic approach to martial arts that goes beyond physical combat.

In Njia Uhuru Kipura, the concept of seven is meticulously woven into every aspect of training for the warriors, inventors and healers who form the branch of Ogun...one of many paths to embark upon in THE ATACX GYM should the student so choose or be called upon to follow. ( Other Neteru, Loa, Orisha and other completely different paths without any immortal "guide" or "inspiration" of course have different options ). For sons and daughters of Ogun? Attacks are executed with precision and strategy, defenses are honed to perfection, and both fakes and feints are used to deceive opponents, all in sets of seven. Footwork patterns emphasize agility and adaptability, and level changes provide practitioners with a dynamic advantage. Targeting is executed with a deep understanding of the body's vulnerabilities, all guided by the sacred number seven.

This integration of Ogun's teachings into the self defense and whole human development system of Njia Uhuru Kipura not only pays homage to the god of iron but also empowers students with a comprehensive understanding of combat. It embodies the essence of Alkebulan ( miscalled African ) spirituality, where tradition and modern science converge to enhance human performance and self-defense skills.

Mwalimu Mtaalam Ras Fletcher's Njia Uhuru Kipura serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of Ogun, demonstrating that the sacred number seven is not just a numerical superstition but a powerful tool for self mastery through self-defense and self-discovery training. Through this fusion of ancient wisdom and contemporary science, practitioners embark on a journey of self-improvement, spiritual growth, and martial excellence.
