Kachin animal styles

[missionaryman12]

Does anyone here know about the kachin animal styles? Or where a school of any of these arts are?

You might try the Fma or Japanese Martial art forums, although the original arts were of chinese origin much of it has crossed over into Bando...especially after the Japanese invasion of Burma in 1942...there were 16 animals...

Try Phil Dunlap, i think his site is

https://www.thiang.net

or

https://www.thaing.net

sorry I am not sure which spelling is correct.

you can also possibly buy a dvd of a kachin martial arts demonstration from
blackdiamondcobra@yahoo.com

hope that helps get you started.

Wow, i just stumbled accross this thread and i looked at that site and downloaded the vid they had on it. Holy Crap, that was the most brutal thing i've ever seen. Apparently theres no defence against anything in burmese boxing its all about attack I cant belive it took so long for one of them to get knocked out, and even when they did they just woke him back up and he carried on fighting. Those guys are hardcore. The style seems a little bit like thai boxing has there been any thai V Burmese matches?? If so what was the outcome? It seems like a complete system as it has groundwork, takedowns, weapons and a devastating stand up. How come its not in MMA??
