    In Episode 36 of Real Talk with Nat, I sit down with Luke Leyland to explore one of the most unique and powerful stories to come onto the podcast. Luke shares his journey from Merseyside to Nigeria, where he stepped into the world of Dambe, an ancient African martial art dating back over 1,000 years.

In this episode, we dive into: ​ What Dambe is and its history in Nigerian culture ​ Luke’s experience travelling to Nigeria to compete ​ The physical and mental preparation behind the fights ​ The cultural and spiritual rituals involved, including practices rarely seen by outsiders ​ The meaning behind the rope-wrapped striking hand and traditional beliefs ​ Becoming the first non-African in history to be inducted into a Dambe House ​ The importance of respect, brotherhood, and cross-cultural understanding This is more than a story about fighting, it’s about stepping into a completely different world, embracing the unknown, and being accepted into a tradition that has been protected for generations.
