What makes Inikte a Native American martial art?
Henry S.J. Adams, founder of Inikte, is a Native American Artist of the Eastern and Western Bands of the Cherokee, Blackfoot, Cheyenne and a Hunka relative of the Lakota Sioux. His personal synthesis of multiple closed door martial arts, meditation and healing arts grew into the synergy that is now called Inikte. The philosophy, science and training methodology of Inikte is founded on the traditional ideals, teachings and philosophies of Native American warrior societies. It was also brought to life through connection with Mother Earth and nature whose doctrine is one of courage, generosity, knowledge, compassion, balance and harmony with ourselves and “all our relations”.
