Dambe is a traditional West African form of boxing that originated among the Hausa people of Nigeria. It involves one unarmed fighter, known as the attacker, and one armed fighter, known as the defender. The defender's arm is wrapped in a cloth called "kara" to protect it and enhance striking power. Matches typically take place outdoors on sandy grounds, and the objective is to knock down or overpower the opponent within a specified time limit. Dambe is not just a sport but also a cultural tradition with deep historical roots in Hausa society.#Dambe boxing #Hausa boxing#Nigerian martial arts #African combat sports #Traditional fighting #Traditional fighting #Dambe tournament
