obi4eze:
How?

Is she the one that killed Buhari?

The cabal led by Abba Kyari and Mamman Daura have cashed in on the death of Muhammadu Buhari and deceived Nigerians with other politicians and the international allies in the know.

Aisha has been telling us subtly that her husband is dead and the man there isn't her husband but because majority Nigerians are very scared we have failed to believe. Many people do not know that some people can do anything to hold on to power. But power doesn't last forever as in the case of Abacha.

I read somewhere that punches in Dambe are so hard they can break cinderblocks, fracture human bones and kill opponents. Any sport like that is a no-no for me. I want my favourite athletes free from grievous bodily harm. With the Senegalese form matches don't last longer than six seconds and involve only brute strength which requires competitors training frequently to build and maintain.

Saying that punches in Dambe are lethal is more of an over-exaggeration. While no doubt, the punches are hard, the key here is to match athletes in their weight scales. This way a balance is created, and even more, the fights are more interesting with better showmanship.
Sports / Re: The Best Of African Combat Sport | Dambe And Wrestling (pictures) by AWFCNAIJA: 9:16pm On Sep 25, 2019
The Battle for Lagos was our first event in Lagos and we hope to bring a much more action-packed event in December.

Dambe boxing can be improved with the addition of standard hand gloves like in boxing and UFC. The fighters should wear teeth guard for safety and a rules book developed. It's gaining popularity on the internet and can attract sports betting and other companies sponsorship and become a money spinner

Great thought... we are looking in that direction in the near future.

meobizy:
Senegalese wrestling is the best. Those guys are professionals in their sport. Dambe is an amateur sport anyone can indulge in. It is also very dangerous unlike Senegal's catch wrestling form.

I beg to disagree. Dambe like the Senegalese wrestling is both different forms of combat sports practised across West Africa. While one involves hard punches and knockouts, the other involves hand grapples and tackles to bring the opponent down.

Where is your area? Maybe we can come and cover your fight one of these days... Let me know the venue and time, I will try to come and take some few shots...

We are taking it across the country... we have had events in Enugu and Lagos. We are going to be having another in December at a beachfront location. I would surely get you the invite.

You can check our website and social media pages for more pictures of events we have had.

The Dambe is usually common among the Hausa's... If you come to Obalende on weekends, you will see them under the bridge, I once did a feature about them around May this year... But they are mostly drugged

When do they fight on the weekends... we have had Dambe fighters come in from Kano and Kebbi, with a few from Lagos.

THE BATTLE FOR LAGOS

A convergence of fighters across Nigeria saw the emergence of champions in Wrestling and Dambe. The event organised by the AFRICAN WARRIORS FIGHTING CHAMPIONSHIP in conjunction with the Lagos State Board of Traditional Sports was action-packed, thrilling and exciting.


Jalisco Stadium in Oshodi played host to the event and the crowd had their fill of hard punches, tackles and slams.

It is said that a picture tell a thousand words... feed your eyes.

Nice sport .. Interesting to watch.
Indeed a great sport. The show of raw power and tactics is always a delight to see.

ade002:
But we need to improve it. Make it colorful and attractive for the world stage..

For us at African Warriors Fighting Championship, we recognise this and that's why we have embarked on this journey to show the colourful and all immersive nature of African traditional combat sports to the world.

ade002:
Hopefully a state in this country will invest into it. Promote it.. Who knows it may be a source of revenue in future.

The tourism ministry has a lot to do..

The Battle for Lagos was our second hosted event done in conjunction with the Lagos State board for traditional sports. In December, we will be taking Lagos again by storm at the Coronation of Kings, happening live at a beach front on the island.

There is so much we have in the offing. To see more pictures and videos, https://www.instagram.com/africanwarriorsfc/?hl=en
