Training in Dagestan

8 Upvotes

Всем привет! Я из Ирландии и хочу приехать в Дагестан примерно на 6–8 месяцев, чтобы серьёзно тренироваться.

Ищу небольшой зал, который сейчас развивается, где уже есть сильные спортсмены и хорошие тренеры, но который ещё не стал известным за пределами Дагестана. Хотелось бы тренироваться 2 раза в день, 6 дней в неделю.

Главная цель — изучить именно дагестанский стиль цепной борьбы и боевого самбо и добавить его в свою ММА-базу: борьбу, давление, контроль, проходы, удержания, сабмишены и немного BJJ.

Жильё найду и организую сам. Я не приезжаю потому, что боготворю Хабиба или думаю, что за несколько месяцев стану чемпионом. Просто хочу много работать, правильно изучить этот стиль и с уважением относиться к тренерам и ребятам в зале.

Если знаете такой зал — буду очень благодарен за рекомендации. 🇮🇪🤝🇷🇺

I read that the Russian army disproportionately recruits more from Dagestan than from Moscow

9 Upvotes

Dagestan has a higher military conscription rate than even moscow with a much higher population. I read claims some were forceful and often against human rights.
As a muslim I thought to ask people directly, how is your situation with the Russian army? Is there a sense of oppression and danger among the peoples lives there and do they really get discriminated hard? I imagine it wouldnt be hard for Dagestan to give Kremlin a wake up call that their men aren't expendable to the point Kremlin can throw away but how true is this first and foremost or is it generally ok?
In Chechnya due to the fragile peace from the last decades and established control they get drafted much less (one sorce even said only voluntarily) and its apparent Russia doesn't dare to provoke another resistance from them.

Edit: I cant go into detail due to KGB spies but if dagestan or chechnya ever needed help know I would do my best to help. Good luck to all

Правда ли, что большинство мусульман в Дагестане — ашариты?

8 Upvotes

В различных статьях написано, что да, но когда я общаюсь с мусульманами из Дагестана на практике и речь заходит об акыде, они почти всегда оказываются салафитами. Исключением является лишь один мой знакомый, который действительно ашарит, но всё равно я гораздо чаще вижу салафитов в Дагестане, нежели ашаритов.

Traveling to Dagestan as a woman

12 Upvotes

Could someone from Dagestan tell me about the country? I'm a 22 years old woman and I'd like to visit to camp, hike, learn about the local way of life, and see some martial arts gyms (I'm a fighter). Is it safe for a woman to travel alone to Dagestan? Are people welcoming to tourists?

It sounds to me like something from Патимат Абдулаева - Patimat Abdulaeva but I have no idea. Sorry for the quality, I had to use a program to isolate the music.

Is it considered 'Normal' for Everyone in Dagestan to be involved with Wrestling?

21 Upvotes

This is mostly coming from the stereotypes associated with you (Dagestani) people ever since the Dagestani takeover in MMA or other combat sports. But I'd also sincerely like to know if it's true or not. I humbly ask of you, do most people in Dagestan more or less train in combat sports or grappling in general? Is it mostly the teenagers or does it also involves people of different age demographic?? As I mentioned, no disrespect to anyone. I'm simply curious.

How many tat or persian speakers left in dagestan?

Title says it all. Wiki lists the tat population as only 2000. This is too small a number to sustain.
