Best Answer

Pashki is, or was, an ancient Egyptian exercise discipline that derives from the worship of the cat goddess Bastet or Pasht. What yoga is to Hinduism and tai chi is to Taoism, so pashki is to the followers of Pasht. Recently interest has grown in pashki due to its inclusion in the YA novel THE CAT KIN by Nick Green. As depicted in the story, pashki enables its young practitioners to develop certain abilities associated with cats, including keener night vision, sharpened hearing and exceptional agility.

The French sport of parkour or free-running is believed by some to have its origins in pashki.

What type of art did early Egyptians use?

Pasht, or Basht was the Egyptian Goddes, usually associated with cats. Egyptians developed a martial art called Pashki. Recently, an interest has grown in Pashki, mainly because of Nick Green's book The Cat Kin. The book mentions some of the abilities that Pashki artists can do, including seeing in the dark and amazing agility. Pashki is a rare art, and very few get past the first lesson. It also believed that the French art of Parkour developed some parts of Pashki. If you want to learn more about Pashki, visit Nick Green's website, and look for the section written by Geoffrey White, one of Britain's two Pashki artists (the other being Felicity Powell)


Is it true that Felicity Powell and Geoff White practice pashki?

yes, it is right but i do not know where and when


Where can Iearn Pashki?

There is no actual place to learn Pashki, but if you closely watch a cat's body movement and stretches etc. you should be able to learn a bit. Also, some basic instructions are in the books Catkin and Cat's Paws, so it is something you'll have to work out yourself for now


Where can you learn Pashki?

The only known pashki class held in England was recently run by Felicity Powell of Stoke Newington, London N16. However this was discontinued due to the teacher becoming unavailable. The only other known pashki tutor in Britain is Geoffrey White, but he is not currently taking classes. The best advice is to bookmark the website of author Nick Green, who is known to have been in touch with both individuals in the recent past. Updates may be available there.


Is Pashki real as in the lost art of moving like a cat?

it is hard to say. Nick Green (author of Cat Kin) says he made it up on his website (look under posts).
