Its relative isolation Kiribati has allowed "traditional values" and skills to be maintained. Contents Dueling Kiribati traditional martial arts Music Dance ... edit Dueling Kiribati has a history of contrived and ritualized duels . The armor was made of thickly woven sennet, a kind of coconut fiber. The duelists wore helmets made of blowfish remains. The helmets were resilient and, due to the structure of blowfish, covered with many points, which had the ability of damaging weapons. The weapons resembled broadswords with a serrated edge created with many shark teeth. The duels were performed mostly for the purpose of settling disputes and maintaining honor. The practicality of the duels is debatable. Due to the difficulty of moving in this armor, falling over and becoming unable to get back up was common enough that duel assistants were required. edit Kiribati traditional martial arts Kiribati has been known for its traditional martial arts which were kept within the secrets of several families for generations. The Kiribati arts of fighting as opposed to Asian martial arts are not often mentioned or even advertised to be known by the general public. Though, there maybe be some noticeable parallels in principle to that of Asian martial arts, they are merely really different. For instance, generally, there is no kicking as in

KIRIBATI CULTURE The culture of the Gilbert Islands is beautiful, complex and diverse but yet contains similarities through the thirty-three islands that make up the Gilbert Group. Gilbertese culture is of necessity, something that covers a broad scope both in range and topic matter. What I have done in this Web page is to concentrate on the similarities of Gilbertese culture that exists from island to island and including our Banaban community now residing on the island of Rabi. I have also used the traditional term "Gilbertese" interchangeable with the modern term I-Kiribati. On this page, I have tended to use the term "Gilbertese" as in most cases I am referring to those cultural matters that are traditional but are still relevant to the modern progressive Republic of Kiribati. MANEABA The maneaba or mwaneaba is in the centre of the village. Next to the war canoe, it is the masterpiece of Gilbertese culture. Like the houses, it is built in a rectangular shape with the two ends differing somewhat. The maneaba architect is usually an old man who has learnt his trade through experience and from traditions in his family. Of course, he is also something of a sorcerer, because an undertaking like building a

Tarawa Culture Kiribati is more Islanders have traditionally lived in a subsistence economy based on root crops like taro and sweet potato, coconuts and produce from the sea, but as the cash economy makes inroads this is starting to fall by the wayside. Imported foodstuffs are becoming more common and growing in the popularity and status stakes in rural as well as urban areas. The local drop is the unfortunately named sour toddy, which missionaries frowned upon but were never able to wipe out. It is brewed from the coconut palm. Tarawa, Kiribati's capital, may not be the Venice of the Pacific, but you do have to negotiate the main sights by causeway and inter-island boat. While modernity is rearing its head, locals still welcome travellers as rarely seen curios. Although there's not much organised activity, it's not hard to find diving and game fishing in most places. And idyllic beaches are never far from anywhere if you want to escape with a book or a diving mask. Tarawa is the capital, of which the southern part is heavily urbanised. It contains more than 30% of the nation's population and is severely overcrowded. It can take some getting used to. If you are a traveller then Tarawa should not be your destination, go to one of the lesser populated 'outer' islands instead.

Kiribati Oceania CULTURE The I-Kiribati are a warm, friendly and welcoming people. Visitors and those working in Kiribati are treated with the greatest of respect, Politeness and deference. Canoe racing, volleyball and soccer are all popular on the islands, but more traditional pursuits, such as intricate and beautiful dances - particularly on Tabiteuea - an indigenous martial art and making figures out of string are still practised. Also important in Kiribati are chants for one to four voices that honour particular achievements, such as initiation rites. The chants are not normally accompanied by dance. The I-Kiribati (as locals are known, pronounced 'ee-kee-ree-bus') speak a Micronesian dialect, although English is widely used in official communications. The local alphabet has only 13 letters, with 'ti' standing in for 's'. The missionaries got their talons in early, and the Kiribati Protestant Church today has over 28,000 followers and the Catholic Church close to 40,000. Religion is taken very seriously, and the further south you go the more you should avoid doing anything that looks remotely like work (even darning your beach towel could be frowned upon). Traditional customs and beliefs still survive, which is not surprising for a people who have lived so closely to a force as mysterious as the sea for so long. Belief in the power of magic and the existence of ghosts (

Sponsored Links Your friends have just returned home from a relaxing vacation in Kiribati. The first question you ask them is probably, where is Kiribati? Kiribati is a lesser known vacation spot in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. It is a small republic consisting of thirty three separate islands. The Kiribati islands are located about one-half of the way from Hawaii to Australia . The island nation has a population of roughly seventy thousand Micronesians and hosts a generous portion of tourists yearly. Kiribati has a hot and humid climate; however the trade winds keep the island nice and cool. The islands are subject to typhoons from the months of November to March and have occasional visits from tornadoes. By and large, however, the islands have decent weather but citizens live under the constant threat of flooding. Some of the islands have sewage and disposal problems as a result of the low water levels. The general terrain of the islands is low-lying coral atolls surrounded by large and extensive reefs. With over thirty three islands of beauty to explore it is no wonder why some people travel far and wide to visit.

Hot deals Kiribati Culture To experience our culture and lifestyle will be a memory you will have for the rest of your life. The culture of Kiribati is complex and diverse, with each island having its own unique ways. Though a living body, many people remain true to the century old traditions and practices that define what it means to be I-Kiribati. Cultural practices such as community meetings under the maneaba (traditional meeting house) to socialize and feast (a botaki), respect of elderly people, guest hospitality and importance of family remain important facets in the culture of Kiribati. We warmly welcome visitors in many of our customs and activities, and are proud of our way of life and its celebration. The way of living is very simple and people plan theirliving for a day only, without worrying about their future, living with the moto “Tomorrow is another day”. Survival revolves around strength, motivation and ambition to live within that particular day. Daily lives revolve around the rise and fall of the tide, dictating fishing conditions and timing and availability of transport. Sustainance is from the coconut and breadfruit trees, and the ocean. The traditional dances of Kiribati are a unique form of art and expression. The movement of the feet, hands and of course the whole body imitates the movement of the frigate birds while walking and flying. The costumes are made out of local materials. The frigate bird symbolizes many important things in the traditional living context of the I-Kiribati. It provides navigation to fishermen while lost at sea, provides weather information for the people and also gives a sign of peace and harmony.
