52 Blocks Norfolk VA is a not-for-profit organization promoting Black History and Pan-Afrikanism through the training and discipline of 52 Blocks.
This channel exists to unify people of African descent through practical self-defense, disciplined training, and cultural knowledge rooted in Afrikan history and lived experience. We explore fighting systems, techniques, and movement sciences designed for real-world application—building strength, confidence, and self-reliance.
Our mission places a special emphasis on uplifting Black men and boys, restoring pride, purpose, and responsibility through martial arts training. Strength of body, clarity of mind, and commitment to community are central to everything we teach.
This is about function, heritage, and unity—not imitation.
Train your body. Know who you are. Protect yourself and your people. 👊🏿

Peace fam! Yo, make sure you check out the LIVE tab on our channel. We’re doing weekly classes every Sunday focused on 52 Blocks Reality Based Training Drills & Skills. If you teach 52 or any martial arts or self defense, try some of these drills in your class. I hope it changes the way you train practical self defense. #52Blocks #AfricanMartialArts #MartialArtsDrills

Great conversation, but it dances around the main issue. The issue is not whether Christianity is African. The issue is why does this brother want to believe that it is. Until you address his why (his heart), it’s pointless to use logical reasoning to change his mind. The mind believes what the heart wants it to. You must start with the heart.
If I had to guess, I would say this brother believes that Christianity is African because deep down he knows Christianity has been weaponized against Black people, but he also grew up in Christianity and is afraid of going to hell if he disavows it. So, to solve this internal conflict, he created this narrative. This is common. I’ve been there too and understand his conflict.

I can post a video about the Jab and get 500 views on my Asian Martial Arts channel and a ton of positive comments. I can post the same video with an Afrocentric flavor on this channel, get 50 views, and people in the comments tell me I don’t know anything 😅
