Warrior Dance

Warrior dancing originated from Foh and Ewe peoples of West Africa.  It is an ancient dance once known as Atamga.  “Warrior dances are a depiction of the men who fought in battle, which is why the dance involves warfare movements” (buzzle).  Warrior dancing is an aggressive dance in which performer’s stage mock fights using horsetails as spears to stab their opponents.  It is characterized by a complex drum rhythm and is usually performed at cultural events and funerals.

I was surprised that this 123movies online didn't receive more attention when it was released. A true high-caliber performance by Tom Hardy and Joel Edgerton. Even Nick Bolted deserves praise for the performance he delivered. This movie has the perfect combination of edge-of-your-seat action with heart-felt family drama. Trust me, if you are a fan of "Rocky", this movie will not disappoint. Although it deals with MMA fighting instead of boxing, you will find yourself completely immersed in the action of the "squared circle". I cannot endorse this los movies enough! I am sure you will enjoy it as much as I have numerous times.
