My personal qualifying factors when considering African Martial ART Traditions.
It has lineage, culture and traditions.
Similarities can be plainly observed when you trace the system back to its source. It has a source and is based on sound principles and experiences.
There is written and/or oral history.
It has a internal aspect and cosmology which is inseparable from the Martial Tradition.
It has gone through a period of reforming and systematic refining to be presented as ART and taught as Art.
Basically the same standard as any other martial art.
