  Biashara Haramu ya Ngono na Mgogoro Unaowakumba Wanawake na Wasichana Weusi: Jinsi Njia Uhuru Kipura ya ATACX GYM Inavyokabiliana na Shida Hii Biashara haramu ya ngono inasalia kuwa mojawapo ya uhalifu mbaya zaidi nchini Marekani, ikiwakumba zaidi wanawake na wasichana weusi. Kuendelea kuangazia miili ya weusi kwa njia ya kijinsia, kulikoota mizizi katika historia ya utumwa, kunadumisha dhana potovu za hali ya juu ya ngono na ukomavu usioendana na umri. Haya, pamoja na changamoto za kiuchumi, kushiriki katika mfumo wa ustawi wa watoto, kutengwa na elimu, kuhusika katika mfumo wa haki za jinai, na historia ya unyanyasaji, huchangia kuwaweka wasichana weusi kwenye mazingira hatari zaidi. Kwa mujibu wa utafiti: Asilimia 57.5 ya watoto waliokamatwa kwa madai ya ukahaba ni weusi. Asilimia 40 ya waathiriwa wa biashara haramu ya ngono kitaifa ni wanawake weusi.

  Tráfico Sexual e a Crise que Afeta Mulheres e Meninas Negras: Como a Njia Uhuru Kipura da ATACX GYM Combate a Questão na Raiz O tráfico sexual continua sendo um dos crimes mais insidiosos nos Estados Unidos, impactando desproporcionalmente mulheres e meninas negras. A sexualização contínua dos corpos negros, profundamente enraizada no legado da escravidão, perpetua mitos prejudiciais sobre a hipersexualidade e a maturidade além da idade.

  Rediscovering the Roots of Kipura: Wristlocks, Knife Disarms, and Standing Grappling The martial art of Kipura , miscalled Capoeira by colonizers, is far more than the flashy kicks and acrobatics often portrayed in modern interpretations. This centuries-old discipline, forged in the fires of resistance and survival by Alkebulan (miscalled African) ancestors in Brazil, has a deep and vital history that goes beyond its current representation. Central to Kipura 's original form are techniques like wristlocks, wristlock throws, knife disarms, and standing grappling, which were essential for combat in both urban and rural settings. The Weapon of Choice: The Navalha (Razor) One of the most iconic weapons associated with Kipura is the navalha , or straight razor. This small yet devastating tool was a symbol of survival, adaptability, and defiance. In the golden age of Kipura , the navalha was not just a weapon but a part of everyday life, especially in poorer neighborhoods where acce...

  Women and Children’s Self-Defense Blog: Wrist or Arm Grab and Follow-Up Attacks/Defenses The staggering prevalence of violence against women and children necessitates practical, effective self-defense strategies grounded in real-world scenarios. According to the National Survey of Health in 2019, over 29.1 million Brazilians were affected by violence, with women, Black, brown (Pardo), and low-income populations bearing the brunt. Physical violence affected 6.6 million people, with women’s households identified as the primary location for such attacks. Among the most common initial assaults were wrist grabs, arm grabs, bear hugs, and chokes. These are not isolated occurrences—they are part of a chilling pattern that highlights the urgent need for effective defense skills. Yet, many so-called “masters” of martial arts in Brazil—particularly those teaching cardio Capoeira—fail to address these attacks adequately. Despite Capoeira’s deep roots in Kipura, a martial art born out of the...

  Theft and Larceny: Understanding, Prevention, and Ancient Wisdom Theft and larceny are not only the most common property crimes globally but also the most persistent crimes in human history. Despite the ubiquity of these issues, many approaches to combating them remain rudimentary. Unlike the often superficial tips given by many "Cardio Capoeira" instructors, Mwalimu Mtaalam/Head Coach Ras Fletcher of ATACX Gym integrates ancient Alkebulan (African) wisdom and modern crime prevention strategies into his Njia Uhuru Kipura system. Kipura, the original Kongo-developed practice of self-defense, spirituality, and human development, has been mischaracterized as the largely fitness-oriented activity called Capoeira. At ATACX Gym , Kipura is restored to its original intent: a holistic practice that includes effective tools for self-defense, crime prevention, and personal empowerment. In this blog, we will explore theft and larceny, share practical prevention tips, and draw from A...

This horrible incident of robbery happened during the London Riots of 2011: What makes this robbery especially despicable is that one man pretends to offer aid and succour to the victim, then the man pretending to offer help and rescue turns into a full robbery beatdown of the  unsuspecting victim.
