Tahtib

Tahtib is a traditional Egyptian martial art that has been practiced for thousands of years. It involves using a long stick or staff and moving it around in various ways to defend oneself or attack an opponent.

Think of it like playing with a big, long toy stick. You move it around in different ways, like spinning it in circles or hitting it against the ground, to make it look fancy and intimidate your opponent.

But tahtib is not just about looking cool – it's also a way to protect yourself. If someone tries to attack you, you can use your stick to block their blows and strike back.

People in Egypt have been practicing tahtib for a very long time, and it's still a popular sport and way of self-defense today. Plus, it's really fun to play with sticks!
