The sport Dambe according to Wikipedia, is a martial art of the Hausa people from West Africa. Competitors in a typical match aim to subdue each other into total submission mostly within three rounds. It often results in serious bodily injuries for the challengers such as broken jaws and ribs.

This sport is mostly carried out during the harvest period, warrior or fighters move from one village to another challenging others. This sport is very dangerous as there is no safety measure like head gear, teeth gaurd, handglove in place. The fighters hand that is dominant is wrapped with a piece of clothes.

Dambe looks cool, unless you happen to be the one getting your ass kicked I guess. There's a couple blokes there in your blog I'd probably not want to face.

😂 Yeah, well I can't say I'm the most handsome dude, but what average to below-average looks I have need to be preserved. Still, there's a few people I'd like to dambe the hell out of though.
