Explanation: In the endless back-and-forth between the Roman Empire and Persia (under both Parthian Arsacid and Sassanid rule), the mountain kingdom of Armenia was a constant target of the Great Power machinations of the two larger polities. Today Armenia is the vassal of Rome; tomorrow, the vassal of Persia, and Armenia gets no say in the matter. All changes with the winds of war, back and forth, back and forth... poor Armenia!

And these days they're sandwiched between Turkey and Azerbaijan, and get shit from both. Poor Armenia.

Serj tried to popularize knowledge of all of this in the early 00s and it.. kinda worked. Not to the amount it should’ve.

Bad teqnique, instead of two fists they should lay their hands on top of each other with palms facing up otherwise their forearms arnt rotated outwards so theyre presenting the sides of their arms as the platform instead of the flat undersides of their arms. And the impact point shoukd be the bottom of the forearm, just above the wrist, not the fists themselves. Knee bend and posture is pretty good though, although they should be extending during the contact to add power and direct the ball.
