"Akrafena Martial Arts"

I originally copied and attributed this section from the Akrafena page. These edits from which I copied were originally created by User:MarkMysoe who has been banned for disruptive editing and whose use of sources have been questioned more than once. I crosschecked the books for information on this martial arts but I can't find any verification. I've decided to take them out of this article until a reliable source can provide verification.

In addition, I took out the section on Akrafena which I copied from the Akrafena page but which was originally written by Markmysoe. The revision page of Akrafena reveals that some of his edits were challenged as hoax and the sources do not verify the edits. Kwesi Yema (talk) 21:05, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What he's talking about is this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKy1BqyODcc

It is a type of knife fighting. I asked my mother about it and she confirmed that they did this when she was young. However, for one reason or another, they stopped. This is what Davidson's book is most probably talking about. The proper name of this sport I don't know of. My uncle might know but he's been busy FOAM543678 (talk) 02:01, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oh and yes, this is the Asante FOAM543678 (talk) 02:01, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It would be best if a reliable source could be provided for verification. I couldn't find anything about this martial art in Davidson's book. If there is, then can you provide the page number and an exact quotation of the martial art as stated in the source? Kwesi Yema (talk) 13:42, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
