Where did Tibetan soldiers learn thier trade?

Did the Tibetan soldiers employ foreingers in their armies?

"Just before the downfall of Tibetan Dynasty, Tibetan governed Tibet, Qinghai, Silk-road, part of southern Xinkiang, part of central Asia. Tibet bordered with India, Tang, Persia, Mongolia. This was the largest area which was ever controlled by Tibetan. It had a population of 15 millions and an army of 400,000 strong (all estimates)."

Did the Tibetans use only foreign war technology to gain strength in war?

I might add, this topic merely interests me and I hold no opinion in one way or the other. In all honesty you guys have me going back and forth

Tibetan history is not really my forte...

This is some footage of a attack on some Lama's I think back in the 60's. I am not sure though if this is Tibet.

Well the monastaires in Tibet had gaurds, no question about it. These gaurds used swords, long staffs and throwing weapons. This can all be proved by PHD holders and can be proved using online sources aswell. The Tibetan Research Center has a website with an article on the (warrior monks) Dlab Dlobs, combat was their niche'.

So I suppose the question at this point would be:

Was thier martial knowledge base a natural resource, or imported?

That I don't know. IMO and this is just a guess..I would say both, some techniques being home grown and others from other outside sources as a system was being developed. They had battles to win so I imagine they used whatever would work when $^&% hit the fan and it
really mattered.

There is some contact info, maybe we need a volunteer to email them with some questions. Maybe Dr. Goldstein would be willing to make at the least an educated guess based on his prior work.

I loved the Golden Child, great 1980's cheese.

[HOKPAIWES]

Thats what I would assume as well. It seems to always be the case with war tech.


"We want what you got, and we dont want to give you what we got" seems to be how it works.

Right, the story behind the blue dragon school I was in was that people, in this case 2 sisters were actualy sent out to collect or even trade sex for what they could and return years later. One account credits searching out a generel known for his hitting power and offering to birth a son in return for training. If this type of thing is true or just story who knows, but it does give an idea on the value on good training.
