Is there an Somali martial arts?

[Showbiz]

Is there any Somali aged fighting style or even weaponry fighting, the Malays Indonesians Brazilians have have silaat and capoeira Congolese’s do professional wrestling the Senegalese have their own wrestling sport. It’s surprising because Somalis are good at sabaxad, I would love to know if there is one

I've always loved martial arts. Did taekwondo and kung fu before and enjoyed both.

I always found it strange how the ancient ppl came up with each martial arts style. I can imagine they used to fight frequently and many developed their own unique styles to match their surroundings (animals they took inspired forms from) and culture.
