Myanmar Lethwei

This post is also available in: Spanish

Hi there!

from the post we published a couple of days ago, I’ve been finding out a bit more about this fighting style. As far as I’ve seen, it is very similar to Muay Thai but it is a bit less “evolved” or modernized. They fight without gloves or any other protection and striking with the head is allowed (see 1:12). This enables Lethwei to be called “The science of 9 limbs” ;-)
Anyway, it is an interesting style, well worth taking a look.
