BCR (Brick City Rock) is one of the many martial arts related to the Jailhouse rock (fighting style).

It was found in Newark, New Jersey during the late-1960s and early-1970s. BCR is unique for its Ginga like footwork. {{citation needed|date = June 2011}}

Brick City Rock is A Martial Art Combining Western-Boxing and West-African Martial Concepts.

BCR is a form of ADMA (African Diaspora Martial Arts)"ADMA." is a loose term used to

describe the martial arts that were developed by the slaves brought to the Americas from the

Congo, Nigeria, Angola, Ghana and Senegal roughly.

The people who were brought west as slave were generally the losers of tribal wars and

therefore were well versed in warfare and personal combat. ADMA are arts that are a

western regional synthesis of the martial arts in those countries of West-Africa.

All of them (Capoeira, Kalinda, Tire Machete, Juego del Garrote, Knocking-n-kicking

and Damye-ladja to name a few.) are basically local variations on what one might call

“Capoeira” and/or ”Caribbean Stick Fighting” or at least follow the same general concepts.

In the United States those concepts merged with Western Boxing and created a kind

of “Africanized” street boxing that utilized lots of the hand positions and defense’s one

would use to protect oneself from kicks and/or sticks…, and like Caribbean stick fighting/Capoeira:

rhythmic, dance like motion is encouraged.

BCR, as practiced by inner-city youth/men in Newark N.J. and the surrounding areas during

the 1960s - 1970s, was often trained in communal "cliques" of mostly Afro-Caribbean and

African-American youths during daily “Rock Parties” (hours long, round robin sparring sessions

set to music.), impromptu Slap-Boxing matches and the playing of martial games.

In this way Brick City Rock is in line with other forms of ADMA in that it is trained through a

communal sport/game "play" structure set to music. BCR rejects kata and other forms of

learned structure and instead prefers to have the objective of the game shape the technique's

present in the art.

BCR is typified by its Ginga like footwork and movements that resembled improvised dance moves.
