  1. Yeah, it would be much better for Dana White to choose this over Slap Fighting. Slap Fighting is really a joke and this is a cultural combat sport.

  2. I bought your Instructional and absolutely Loved It for it's directness and practicality. Thank you for distilling your years of experience to share with us a Zero-Fluff Clinch Fighting System. The world is made much better by your valuable contribution. Keep up your great work❤.

  3. Thanks for this! Really appreciate you following up on the requests to explore African martial arts. Da'mon Stith is a great resource – he has a compendious knowledge of fighting systems, styles, traditions, and weapons across the African continent and throughout the African Diaspora. He also takes part in HEMA competitions, usually with a lot of success.

  4. the wrapped hand and the way that changes things, from modern use of forearms to block and close sort of guard, reminds me of ancient Roman boxing with the leather wraps and/or the cestus, how they used the lead hand to maintain space and had the rear hand cocked

  5. Great stuff and totally agree with the concept of play one of the things I cherish with Taboada Balintawak keeping things in a state of flow instead of ridged linear patterns

  6. A random thought: What if one trained Dambe Boxing for training how to fight when one arm is either injured or has something in it? I'm thinking about fighting with limited use of your body

  7. Cool. I agree, promoting boxing clubs and similar is probably the most cost effective way to cut crime. Teaching young men discipline, respect and sportsmanlike values.

  8. Great 👉 point about Rites of Passage; they happen regardless of traditions and culture 😞. When it's part of the culture, Rites of Passage can be instrumental in adult development. In the West however, there's no formal Rites so youths make them amongst themselves through pranks or more mischievous means.

  9. Dana White should do what Chatri Sityodtong of ONE Championship did: Add Kickboxing and Muay Thai competitions to the UFC instead of that slapfighting bullshit. Joe Rogan and Eddie Bravo had a conversation on Joe's podcast about how novice fight fans are more attracted to the striking and knockouts than the ground fighting in MMA. So why isn't Kickboxing/Muay Thai more popular?

  10. Cool content! Love seeing some coverage of African martial arts. Dambe is unique when you consider how prolific wrestling is in West African countries.

  11. You can rally tell how this developed out of a training system for sword and shield combat. I believe quite a few martial arts evolved out of earlier weapons based combat.

  12. Slap fighting has no skill. Absolutely agree with you with lite sparring. You need to be able to analyze while training under pressure. But not be fighting for your life.

  13. I wonder which specific skills Dambe training would give to a boxer. Half striking half wrestling,handfighting,trapping and clinching.
    Maybe one hand MMA glove wrapped,the other naked.
    I wish there was a competion focused on different boxing styles,rather than kickboxing.

    Talking about specialization,does armwrestling give an advantage in grappling? I read how in ancient Olympic games there was a type of wrestling which was "Tug O War without the rope" ,pulling onto each other arm. Reminds me of something i saw in Baki.
