Salaams, Not in my book.. Theres just no proof. It may all be so wrapped up in historical time much of it frozen in Oman that getting to the bottom of this may take a while and some dedicated research. I would need to be convinced that mendingo warriors used the shield and sword and danced the same Razha... thereby using a same same fight technique and that does not seem to be the case.
My money is on number 3. Omani 100% and unrelated to any other area. Kattara and Terrs. It is a unique fighting system and I believe much earlier than first thought... Not 17th or 18th Century... more like 9th !
