Myanmar Lethwei
I found this video accidentally when I was searching for Muay Thai video for review. I believe that many people who have seen this video may be misunderstood like I am, that is, this is Muay Thai. Not much detail I know about this Burmese martial art, but I would say that this is very much similar to Muay Thai but looks have less formal pattern like Muay Thai. However, I have seen some matches between Muay Thai and Lethwei, which occasionally held in Thai-Burmese border during important Holiday like Songkran. But like I said, they are very much similar, but for this video, you will see pure Lethwei.

It is true that Lethwei is similar to Muay Thai. Lethwei allows you to use also your head,but not Muay Thai.If lethwei is taken plased by ministry of sport in Burma, you need to fight just 5 rounds.3 minutes fight and 2 minutes rest. If Lethwei is taken placed by private, boxers have to fight 13 rounds. in the last round boxers must fight until some one is KO or give up.
