What is "tahtib"

Tahtib ( Egyptian Arabic: تحطيب taḥṭīb) is the Modern Egyptian term for a stick fighting martial art originally named Fan A'Nazaha Wa-Tahtib (the Art of being straight and honest through the use of stick). The martial version of Tahtib also evolved into a traditional form of Egyptian folk dance involving a wooden stick, also known as "stick dance" or "cane dance". It is sometimes also described as a "stick-dancing game", or as a highly ritualized mock fight accompanied by music. Nowadays, the name 'Tahtib' encompasses both martial practice and dance practice. A " Nubian" form of tahtib is regularly performed for tourists in Aswan.
