The drums were amazing. Is this an ancient drum chant that Nigerians would play as they went to war against other people? The music seems to be very meaningful to these great men, these great fighters.

David Erdman, the drums, songs, and sport goes back many hundred of years. Yes, the drums and songs played here could never be ruled out as songs played to herald a war.

@@sundayaito4366 Fascinating, Mr Aito. I hope that one day I might be able to attend one of these sporting events. Looks like I'd be the only white guy . . . I would be so happy to be there and experience this rich culture.

[@sundayaito4366]

@@Xformat01 , yes, that will be some experience for you if could attend the games one day. This particular event known as "Dambe" takes place in the northern region of Nigeria and the one you see here was shot in kano, one of many states in northern Nigeria. It's a traditional boxing, but as you can see, it's unlike modern boxing. With Dambe, emphasis is placed on striking with one arm, the intent of which is to drop one's opponent and you are declared the winner. In the event of no knockdown, points could be scored for individual fighters based on punches connected and how well they force their opponents to retreat from attacking and throwing blows.

@@sundayaito4366 I have at least a million questions that I could ask you. You know, I would love to see these fights, but it is even more important for me just to sit with these people, to be a part of them . . . and never return to America. - Thank you for sharing some of the rules! Question: would it be against the rules if one of the fighters would lead with his wrapped arm? In other words, could he lead so that he could Jab at his opponent? If thrown with power, that Jab can really mess up a person, and then follow it up with a hook to the body then up to the chin. Jab Jab, Hook to Body, Hook to Chin, and blocking with the free hand the whole time. Is that against the rules, or would it just not work?

[@sundayaito4366]

@@Xformat01, you can do whatever you want with the hand wrapped and block with the free hand but never attack or strike with it.

Ok, so I was able to figure out one of the rules. If you step outside of the white line, the other person gets one point. I'll have all of the rules figured out in a year. :D

[@DambeUnlimited]

That rule is only applied during competition but in normal matches you are free to move around the arena no boundary
