I am so proud to be the first certified female instructor for this ancient sport," 24-year-old Medhat told Egypt Independent on Sunday. She was selected this February by the Association of Upper Egypt for Education and Development to participate in a modern tahteeb training course in Cairo, taught by the founder of modern tahteeb Adel Boulad. When I learned that modern tahteeb is giving space for women to join, I did not hesitate to take part in the training,” Medhat said. In modern tahteeb, players wear loose, comfortable clothes, t-shirts, pants and sports shoes.
