Hello,
It is my understanding that there are a number of people on this board who are highly qualified in the Burmese arts, particularly Thaing/ Bando.
I have been doing Thai Arts for a long time. I now have the opportunity to train in Thaing Bando, but I would like to get a hopefully decent overview of the Principles of the Art (s).
I am in touch with an Instructor here in the UK via a third party and gradually gleaning information about it from them. But this is taking a while and I felt that I'd 'gen up' on what to expect whilst I'm waiting.
To me, the Burmese arts are very close to Thai Arts, in that Burmese Boxing (Bama Lethwei) is very like Thai Boxing. My thinking is that Bando is very much like Ling Lom, in that it (Bando) contains Lethwei, the same way that Ling Lom contains Muay(Boran)Thai.
In Bando doesn't the Boar and The Bull Animal(s) represent Lethwei? As each animal represents certain physical, metaphorical etc characteristics?
Also it is my understanding that Thaing just means Self-Protection and that Bando means Way of Self-Protection, are the two the same thing, or are they different arts?
I'd always thought that Thaing was an equivilant term to Pahuyuth, the Thai term meaning 'Multi-Faceted Fighting System' (That contains the weapons arts Krabi Krabong, Fandab, Awud Thai and the Unarmed stuff, Ling Lom and Muay Boran), in that it was an encompassing word for the entire system of practice???
Isn't the main Principle in Bando to go 'Off-Line' Ie avoiding the direct power of any on-coming attack???
Can anybody tell me more? Any information on the Principles and Practice is received gratefully. Thanks in Advance.
