- (grima colombiana) Colombian fencing or Colombian machete fencing is a sport and martial art practiced in Colombia. In the early 20th century, the Afro-Colombian communities of Gran Cauca and Tolima were epicenters of fencing or grima, a martial art that used sticks, knives, spears and particularly the machete. Also known as "machete game", this dynamic art taught its followers to defend themselves with extreme bodily dexterity and cunning. Grima experts transmitted this art through formal master and disciple relationships, and often helped spread important counter-memories of popular participation in the nation's conflicts.
