Moringue

The Moringue or Batay Kréol is a Sport of combat practiced in the Indian Ocean, similar to the Brazilian Capoeira . It finds its origin at the 18th century in the large farms of cane with sugar. The black code did not make it possible to the slaves to fight and they had then developed the moringue to disguise their engagements with the eyes of the white which nor saw there that tribal dances.

The word derives from the Malgache moraingy, fight-boxes. Moringue is applied to the rate/rhythm of percussions played during the match are or the Entraînement S.

It is primarily practiced:

With Madagascar.
With Mayotte.
With the Meeting.

In this last island, its redécouverte and its current development were in particular carried by Jean-Rene Dreinaza, three times champion of France and three times champion of Europe of French Boxe.
