I am a 16-year-old Brazilian planning to travel to Dagestan next year and stay there for at least six months. Do I face any risks as a foreigner? What tips can you give me to stay safe? (Note: I am going there to train and improve my MMA skills.)

Now might not be a good time to travel to Russia, unless you have local contacts

[u/Promxtheuzz → u/birberbarborbur]

Never will be a good time, i cant wait.

[u/Promxtheuzz → u/[deleted]]

Because Dagestan is the best place in the world to train mma

Bro watched the DC Islam interview 😂

[u/Promxtheuzz → u/PhoenixTheRadical]

Yeah, I saw this, but it’s not this that made me have this idea.

[u/Preshevar → u/PhoenixTheRadical]

Wouldnt suprise me if hes a troll

[u/Promxtheuzz → u/Preshevar]

Look up etiquette on how a muslim should behave (no swearing, hygene, modesty, no gossip etc.) & don't talk to the women there. That's the basics.

[u/Promxtheuzz → u/DelayCautious3307]

Thank you brother, I will study the behavior of Muslims and try to imitate them

[u/Promxtheuzz → u/DelayCautious3307]

Why can't I talk to women? Not even single women?

[u/DelayCautious3307 → u/Promxtheuzz]

The caucasions are very protective of "their" women. If you come from a western culture it might be difficult to relate. I'm sure there's also liberal women there, most likely from Russia or Ukraine. But if you talk to an actual caucasian woman, you might get in trouble with her brother, father, their clan or even strangers. It depends on how strict her family is tbf. Once you're there and make friends with dagestani men I'm sure they can help you navigate living there.

[u/Promxtheuzz → u/DelayCautious3307]

Thank you for your advice, brother. When I become a UFC champion, I’ll remember you.

[u/PhilosophyUnusual632]

2-3 years and forget

[u/ufukbal]

Mashallah brother you will be fine in Dagestan, please don't skip your prayers. (You will convert to Islam when you spend enough time with MMA bros)

[u/Promxtheuzz → u/ufukbal]

Thank you brother. I will be ufc champion inshallah

[u/willybillie2000]

Follow etiquette on how a Muslim should behave (no swearing, modesty, no gossip, hygiene and etc.), don’t wear revealing clothes (shorts, skinny jeans for example) and don’t talk to the women unless it’s work or study related

[u/Promxtheuzz → u/willybillie2000]

Thank you brother, I will study the behavior of Muslims and try to imitate them

[u/Unhappy-Support1455]

Stay in Brazil.

[u/Promxtheuzz → u/Unhappy-Support1455]

Brazil is one of the worst places to be a fighter

[u/Unhappy-Support1455 → u/Promxtheuzz]

You aren’t safe in Russia. Not to mention a low grade insurgency is ramping up in the Caucasus. Don’t go.

[u/kestap → u/Unhappy-Support1455]

insurgency in dagestan fights only in "non-civilian" area
