Article Description

The article analyzes and compares written records that Afro-descendant peasant teachers, especially from Cauca, make in the process of teaching grima or fencing with machete and a walking stick. On the one hand, paper records that are traditionally used in this practice and that grant the holder recognition as a master of the art. On the other hand, annotations on the ground used by master Ananías Caniquí as part of his training method. Considered in their aesthetic, technical, historical and philosophical value, these records account for sharp codifications of body movements, forms of attack and defense, as well as the complexity of the process of transmission of the grima and the strict ethical agreements between teacher and student. This work is based on ethnographic work accompanying training and dissemination work in several communities of Cauca, as well as on a study of several documents available on the subject.
