General Information Rumi maki is a Peruvian fighting system based on indigenous warrior culture. Rumi maki is Quechua for ‘stone hand’. There are five levels in the system. Attacks using fist blows, headbutts, open hand attacks, kicks etc. as well as neutralization and blocking techniques are taught. Weapons including slingshots, spears and bow and arrow are also incorporated. The fifth level teaches philosophy, cosmology and spiritual aspect of rituals from the Andes (Rodríguez Flores and Bushman Vega 2007: 23-24).
History/Development After the arrival of the Spaniards only myths, religion and rituals preserved the martial culture of the Andes (Rodríguez Flores and Bushman Vega 2007: 13).
