Sorry that no-one has answered, but I dont think that many people have experience with it.
try to do a search on the main board, I know a thread was made about it some time ago.

I've not studied bando myself, but I've known people who have. As I understand it (big disclaimer), various skills were taught under the blanket name "bando." Some people in the club I visited did lots of weapons forms. Others specialized in the kickboxing elements. So I believe that lethwei and the other specialized areas are taught as components of the overall bando.
But don't quote me on that.

I confess that I´m probably just shifting the weight,but this forum seems like a reasonable place to go ask;

So whats the deal with it? anyone hear train it? I watched some of the thaing.net fights, nasty stuff.
Really, no one has anything...jeeze, i guess its not that popular then eh.
Maybe someone can answer this, did/does muy thai used to/still have bear knuckle fights, as bando seems to, as a regular occurence?
muay thai is a ring sport. I'm sure any bare knuckle fights in some shady bar would be considered low level.
It's not a "popular" style, in some sense, because there's an edict against commercial bando schools. You don't see them. People who teach bando do so as a hobby. Not a job. Making schools more a rarity.
There is one near here, mind you. Mr. John Collins, if memory serves.

thaing.net is as good as you'll get
ahh thanks
apoweyn, can you explain a little more on the edict against commercial bando schools?
muchas gracias
I know that there used to be or may still be a bando full contact tournament. Some of my older classmates went around 90 or 91 and won the tournament cup. I thought bando was burmese, more or less the same as thai boxing but with weapons training and some military training also, but I'm probably wrong.
yeah, it's burmese and some aspects of it bare similarity to muay thai. I've got an old issue of IK from around 1994 that has a write up about it.
Watch the other video of the Burmese boxer vs. Japanese boxer.
Beautiful ending! :eek:
the question people have had for years is which came first, bando or thai boxing. Since the records were lost, nobody knows for certain.
