Kilindi Iyi is the founder of the Ta-Merrian Institute in Detroit. For over thirty years this educational institution has been dedicated to the study and preservation of African martial art (e.g. Zulu izinduku, a dance using two sticks derived from the movements of traditional South African spear and shield combat) and related traditions such as dance and drumming. Beyond his reputation as a performer and martial artist, Iyi is a noted teacher, and lecturer on African history, philosophy, religion, and art both in the United States and abroad.
