Bolivian martial arts...........
Bolivia is a spanish speaking country which is in South America. This is a country which i would be interested in finding out about the main martial art studied because i have not heared of many martial arts coming from this country and it would be of interest to find out what martial arts do come from here.
The main martial art which is practiced in the country is a martial art called ''Tinku'' this form of martialn art is quite strange in its performance as it is a very old form of martial art and was originally a form of ritualistic combat. Tinku has a different translation in two different languages but both of these translations sum up the general idea of the martial art which are ''encounter'' and ''physical attack'' . This martial art is performed as a type of festival in which women will get together and begin chanting and singing while the men gather around and proceed to fight the women will then circle them and continue to sing ajnd chant and ocaisonally a women will join in on the fighting. Tinkus are held in potosi during the first few weeks of may.
