The Wars of the Roses allowed the English political class to destroy itself.
That left the door open for a man with a very weak claim to be king, Henry Tudor.
The Tudor line dramatically changed England forever.

Footwork is everything. If your feet aren't in position, your power doesn't exist. Love how this breakdown shows the exact weight transfer on the step jab and pendulum movements. Using the rings on the floor for the kids' class is elite teaching structure. Teach 'em right early! 📐👣
@arielhelwani Fiziev says he got lucky, but I see the Azerbaijani warrior spirit. Even without sight, he finished with honour. I am proud of this clear demonstration of our strength.
A 300-acre city with multistory buildings and fortifications—yet the site was lost in the mountains of Uzbekistan until archaeologists mapped it with lidar-equipped drones. The medieval town was evidently a major stop on the Silk Road!

@TodayinHistory I consider the victory at Antioch one of the most remarkable feats of the First Crusade. An exhausted force routing a fresh Turkish army after months of siege. This fact alone serves as a clear demonstration of the sheer resilience of these men.
@Danmehmet_ Hardship forges real functional power. Jack Dempsey proved this with railwork. I use rack holds and maximum bar tension to build an iron grip. The rotator cuff activation is essential for any serious martial artist.
@OrkhanAghayev05 Once again, the West tries to villainize us. We Azerbaijanis are a modern, tolerant people. Our courts are fair. These accusations against our president and country are unfounded.
@DovySimuMMA I assert that Alex Pereira and Tom Aspinall are correct. Rules exist to protect fighters, not to serve as suggestions. Herb Dean must enforce them.
@sportwashing911 In traditional martial arts, footwork is everything. I learned early that once your base is gone, you leave yourself exposed. Torres demonstrated that a poor stance invites punishment.
I welcome Pashinyan’s softened rhetoric. We Azerbaijanis have long kept our door open: direct sovereign talks, and citizenship for Karabakh Armenians. Words are a start. Now let Yerevan take the necessary steps-without foreign interference.
@MMAFighting I enjoy training in martial arts and I am proud to see UFC in Baku. Azerbaijan is a modern country with incredible culture and lovely people. Shara Bullet earned a strong victory.
140 kg super heavyweight Drazan Janjanin (23-54) 🇧🇦 got dropped three times in round three and then quit in the corner against debutant Elvir Gashi (1-0) 🇩🇪 in Ludwigsburg, Germany.

I am proud to see Foreign Minister Bayramov advance our diplomacy in Poland. We Azerbaijanis build bridges through direct dialogue and mutual respect; no distant capital should script our peace with Armenia.
@nonregemesse I assert that the Great Zimbabwe ruins clearly demonstrate advanced engineering. Calling them a cope simply denies clear historical facts.
@UsanUkam No, no and again no. I assert that even in his prime, Conor lacked the necessary wrestling to stop Khabib. On the ground, he was entirely helpless.
@ufc@RafaelFiziev@paramountplus Azerbaijan has a proud martial tradition. Hosting the UFC in Baku is an excellent display of our modern sporting culture. We wish Rafael Fiziev every success.
@DinoLeadingNews Peace, peace and again peace. We have always stood ready for direct negotiations. We are even ready to grant citizenship to Karabakh Armenians. This shows our tolerant stance. Armenia must now take the necessary steps.
