The gentleman you showed around 6:00 is Da’mon Stith He’s probably one of the best if not the best resource for African martial arts. He has a KZitem channel and is very open to talks and pointing one towards the right information. If you’re interested In African martial arts or have questions about them, you can’t go wrong with going to Da’ Mon

THIS. This right here. People seem to think that crime breeds crime. But the truth is that violence, in all forms, on both sides of the law, breeds violence. But when people step into a gum with rules, handshakes, and a goal of pushing eachother to new heights, that's not violence. That's art. Good means to make a living and healthy outlets aren't just extremely important, they're basically the two things you need to live.

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.

in the video you say " I would never give up being able to attack with my lead hand just for the sole purpose of defending it" My first thought was, "well if you had a weapon you might". If wielding a spear, knife, or gun, it would be reasonable, to purpose your lead hand towards defense until you find an opportunity to use your fight ending weapon.

Of course. If i had a shield and a spear I’d fight this way. That was kind of the point of the comment. This is basically an unarmed recreation of that methodology. Makes sense only for that logic

I think what im trying to do is play devils advocate to the idea Dambe may be a valid choice as a general self defense art, for the sake of argument. I see something there I think you may or may not have, so I wanna share it with you (in case you didnt), and see what you think of it, knowing your extensive knowledge and experience. There are 4 things off the top of my head i see Dambe doing well: 1. Making space to draw your Gun, Knife, Baton, Bare Fist, or OC Spray 2. Protecting your weapon 3. Evading attacks 4. Positioning to land fight ending attacks with your weapon. Dambe does give up lead hand attacks. But theyre sacrificed in the name of more dedication to defense in preparation for a fight ending move. I think that may be a valid strategy. I think it could be good for civilians, who have no *need* to attempt unarmed engagement. Much better to use the Dambe "shield" to set up and use some Pepper Spray or a Gun, than to try to engage in striking or grappling with a threat. Id love to hear what you think, on if thats a fair trade off or not, or what issues one could run into using just Dambe, for self defense. a final note, traditionally dambe does have grappling. And Lutte (both with strikes and without) is big in Nigeria, alongside wrestling, so even if Dambe didnt, most Dambe fighters wouldve been exposed to some sortve grappling. @@inside_fighting

@@ssths all great insight. I think everything gives specific skill sets. In fma we used to practice bringing out hand back to our hip so we could draw the blade. It seems similar here because they keep the arm chambered. If someone is going to learn to draw their weapon then this approach works for sure. I also think Dambe makes you tough and conditioned which is a great attribute for any survival situations
@ssths

@@inside_fighting Thats an interesting point about fma, i hadnt heard of that being done. I dont know too much about fma though. i know a bit more about silat, mostly the Indonesian side of things. your comment about Dambe making you tough brought another thought to my mind. I think Dambe practice is good for teaching you to respect a weapon, while not losing sight of the rest of your opponents body and actions. Because no one wants to eat one of those Cord wrapped hands and get Kayoed, so youve *Got* to be watching for it. But, you also dont want to get grabbed, tripped, or head kicked. so you *Cant* get tunnel vision either. integrating and gamifying this concept as fundamental to the system, i think, might be unique to Dambe. at least in the pervasive way they do it. idk though, i may be reading too much into it lol.

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?

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.
