The word Kupigana Ngumi is an adopted term for the collective fighting arts of the entire Afrakan Continent. Kupigan Ngumi literally means “way of fighting with the fist.” Every Nation of people in Afraka has its own language and word for warrior and warfare. Kupigana Ngumi is from the Kiswhaili language. It is a non-tribal trade language used in many countries in East Afraka. The term was first used by Shah Mfundishi Maasi, a warrior and martial artist of the Royal Guard of King Nana Kablam I, and Ngana Mfundishi Tolo-Naa, a warrior and traditional healer. When they collaborated in the early 1970’s they used the term Kupigana Ngumi to form the Pan-Afrakan Kupigan Ngumi Federation.
