Myanmar Lethwei, "Powerful Knee"

Russians use the Myanmar system to a degree but not all. They also like the Hollanders and currently as far as I know Fedor has trained stand up with Hoost.

Yes it is called Myanmar Traditional boxing, hence the short name is MTB but more accurately it is called Leth Wei. Just as it Muay Thai is called Muay Thai boxing.

I am a dumbass? I take that as a challenge where you at. I know I will win.

That is incorrect. Fedor has access to Myanmar trainers. Especially Crocop who used Nilar Win who is a medium ranked Myanmar fighter. I agree with you you should keep your hands up while punching. But if you are talking about the punch itself it does drop 2-5 inches from the target.

first off I have fought MMA even back in '94Secondly I still train 4 hrs a day. If you want to fight be my guest. Set a date I'm in Tulsa. Sure dont listen to me. I've been studying Myanmar Traditional boxing 2 years now under Myanmar instructor in Buffalo. I'm ready to fight anytime. Are you? I've been doing more than 15 years what have you done? I trained with OSU (Oklahoma ranked 1 wrestling) wrestling team, BJJ, muay thai and now Myanmar.

I agree, and thank you for the support!
It's glad to know there are some decent fighters on youtube, lol :)

that dumbass BF1 up there dont kno S**t i bet that person never been in a fight

dont listen to em....

anyways look up muay thai chaiya or muay boran its what was before the name kickboxing used to be like way back then

This isn't boxing...hmmm. The description says Myanmar traditional BOXING.

Guess what, any good fighter keeps his guards up even if he's punching. So, your punching with the left hand, you keep your right hand up by your jaw. If they don't focus on keeping their guards up, of course they will get KOed. In fact, if the opponents had spent more time guarding, they might not have been KOed at all. FYI, Fedor is more of a grappler, so mentioning him is unrelated to this (his fighting style is totally different!)

Again, it depends on which way your body is moving before you throw the punch. If your body is already moving upward, throwing your weight into an uppercut will be much more effective than stopping your momentum to throw a downward punch. Simple science.

It is 2x more powerful. The reason is it allows you to put more weight into the strike and it maximizes the extension coming out of the shoulder. Secondly, It is taught in Mynamar that this also gives extra range in the punch. Again at Arts of Ancient wisdom online store there is a 2 volume book and acutal fight application using Wan Chine was at the time Champion of Myanmar explaining all the techniques. I changed my style and already my sparring parteners are talking about the power.

You dont like blocking techniques? They dont like to block. Why? BLocking wastes time. You should be attacking constantly. You should be doing 3 things. 1. Attack and push at same time 2. counter 3. Block with the shoulder and forearm as last resort. Watch Fedor of MMA, he is always attacking. I've never seen him block one time and he is currently undefeated. Watch him, his punches drop as well and yet he either KO's everyone or submits everyone.

Also Sau Zwair Lay. You might want to buy his vidoes. His fights are amazing. He doesnt drop his punches as much but watch him since in one fight he throws 50 punches in about a 10 second span. His fists are a blur not too unlike the speed we saw in Bruce Lee.

Again this isnt boxing. The Thai and Burmese would simply walk throw a weak straight out jab and counter with a big strike. And if you disagree. Watch the K1 fighters, US, and Australia vs Myanmar discs. Google Arts of ancient wisdom. You can buy the US VS Myanmar fights with 2 discs. ALL OF US gets KO'ed in under 15 seconds. You tell me who is better. In fact right now type in Doug Evans vs Wan Chine. Rich Shannon also got pasted in 15 seconds who came from PRIDE MMA.

its not really that much harder if u punch downwards. cant say that it is harder at all but if the energy of the attack flows downwards into the body to the ground the body cant absorb the energy good as from a straight punch. the downward ankle isnt that big. just a little twist in at the end.
