Skilddo is a new martial art developed by a Nigerian Gift Otete John Oghenetekpevwe (OG.OJ) in Nigeria. This martial art was created as at 2020 June 6. Gift came up with the idea of developing his own martial art because of his friend Edjeba Runor Israel who was at that time a kung fu practitioner. Edjeba would come to school showing off these cool martial kicks and punches. Sometimes even challenging people to sparring session. At a time, Gift started practicing with him which eventually led to various challenge sessions. After school, on getting home, Gift would look around for means of becoming better at blocking punches and kicks. By doing this, he soon found himself searching around for martial arts materials. He stumbled unto two physical and health education textbooks for secondary schools and eventually saw four different martial arts in those textbooks which are; Taekwondo, Wrestling, Judo, Boxing. Upon learning that the main dominant style of martial art practiced by the Nigerian Armed Forces was boxing, he got angry and started searching the internet for different martial arts. After his research, he discovered that fighting was more than just kicks and punches. His main focus was then on what would happen if a street fight went the ground. From there his attention shifted to how to take a fight to the ground. According to Gift Otete, everybody can fight standing, but not everyone can stay long on the ground. Therefore combining both striking and grappling where the main aims of Skilddo.
