No independently verified third party evidence for it as a burmese or even as an ancient art exists.

well, ive been through this bs before. The only way is to experience a free no obligation lesson. Which i guarentee that anyone that does will have a new respect for Arakan MA. So feel free to put my word to the test.
What i was trying to say is that Arakan ma is not called Arakan in burma (it is or was a state). Now, Lai Tai, sounds very similar to Arakan MA in the fact that both arts use hits, kicks, elbows, daggers, short sword bo staff ect.
According to this video, This is the first time Lai Tai has been show or videoed to the western world. it also happens to be taught by monks from burma.
I just came across it looking for an ancient burmese MA. -

No, you were looking for justification for the comments in this thread:

Instead of continuing that discussion you decided to create a new thread.

So, you found an ancient Burmese art that uses both unarmed techniques and weapons, so it must be what Akaran is known as in Burma? Any mention of supersonic punches capable of organ destruction? Or are they keeping that part a secret in Burma?
Are you familiar with Encyclopedia Brown? I think he would say, do some more research, put down the koolaid, and admit Akaran is a made up art.
