Vo Tu Do (like muay thai with more elbows)
Vo Tay Son/Binh Dinh

Viet Vo Dao and Qwan Ki Do are like viet TKD, barely half a century old

"Aren't the Philippines in Southeast Asia?"

Yes, it is.

Hundreds of styles of Arnis, many indigenous forms of weaponry and the Filipino versions of Kuntao and Silat thus fall under the category of Southeast Asian MA.

In Burma they have an art called "bando"
The striking/grappling art advocates:
First, attacke the legs
Second, attack the body
Third, attack the head.
They like to deliever knuckle punches to the eye sockets.

I would guess many of those arts developed in the Jungles are very tough. You would have to knowing how many animals wants to eat or poison you not to mention constant warfare with nieghbouring tribes and the like.

yeah man, Bando is basicly like Pahuyuth, I think they use the name Bando to group all the fighting systems from Mynmar.

Bando clinching is very similar to Thai clinching only in Mynmar they havnt changed the way fights are carried out. They still use headbutts and groin shot while binding the fists with rope. There are government run matches now where rules are being added to make it more of a commercially viable sport along teh same lines as Muay Thai, but yeah, both countries have serious vicious ways of dealing with an aggressor! I have upmost respect for those little guys.

If you want to leanr more of the Thai combative system of fighting then you should aim to learn Muay Boran or find a good school which will teach you the enitre Thai fighting system. I leanr Muay Boran, that is my style, Muay Lanna (Northern Thailand) *no not the camp lanna Muay Thai but the style*.

Lerd-rit is geared towards Military use and policing so its obvious whats to be found in that.

Bando, well what can I say, it is like Muay Thai with one very different advantage and that is Naban! I will hopefully be getting instruction in this form of wrestling as it is geared towards self defense and combat not sportive fighting. It works and is similar to BJJ. Mynmar and Thai arts seem to compliment each other very well apart from the roundkick in Bando is a little different than in the Thai system. I amnot an expert by any means just very interested and read a lot about both arts and also practice the Thai arts and have experienced some Bando.

Also if you read that article you'll notice one thing the majority of MA's dont realise, Thai and Mynmar fighting arts have very skilled stand up grappling systems which include everything from throws, locks to takedowns.

Hope some interest has been aroused :)

Doesn't one of the Dog Brothers train in Krabi Krabong?

Besides arnis/eskrima, silat, and kuntao, also found in the Philippines are Buno/Dumog (wrestling), and Sikaran (kicking art).

I think you mean Maung Gyi of the American Bando Association. I don't think the controversy is regards to his martial arts or fighting, but his fraudulent military service claims.
I was just at the Bando Nationals on 11 Nov 06 in Colombus, OH supporting our MT fighters. They mentioned the name "Maung Gyi" frequently there.
