Description:

Burmese boxing is one of the most savage, brutally effective fighting arts ever developed. It sprang from the same roots as the art of Muay Thai, but unlike its Thai counterpart, it has not been "civilized." Burmese boxing includes all the bone-breaking punches, elbows, knees and kicks that characterize Thai boxing; however, it also incorporates devastating head butts, throws, spinning strikes and even dramatic vaulting attacks in which the practitioner literally climbs up his opponent's body to deliver a knockout blow. This amazing video takes you inside the forbidden world of Burmese boxing and features rare footage of boxing demonstrations by Burmese masters, instruction in its basic fighting techniques and counters, and the rules of modern Burmese boxing. It also includes highlights of actual Burmese boxing matches that feature the kind of hard-hitting, nonstop action that makes modern no-holds-barred competitions seem tame by comparison.

5An UNBELIEVABLE Coincidence!Mar 15, 2009
By Michael D. Parriski
I purchased copies of this DVD a couple weeks ago (from another source) as I recently had some very intense personalized instruction on Burmese boxing. My instructor (saya) had to leave the area for work, so I wanted to have some additional material to use as reference.
Saturday (March 14, 2009), my saya called me to let me know he received the DVD, but he was also very excited to let me know this:

My saya's instructor and school was the one filmed during the segment that shows the movements!

I was stunned. He then told me about the filming, all the people involved, etc. as he was there, but off camera. What is also stunning is he has never seen the original and had been wanting to get a copy of what was filmed for decades.
Anyone care to figure the probability on this? I'm still in shock.

3Excellent footage, poor fidelityMar 03, 2008
By R. Maung
Great documentary on Burmese boxing. Very informative, but I'm not sure why the sound quality on it is quite low. It's well filmed, and edited and narrated. Very real and true to the country, but the poor sound still bothers me.
