kinda, sorta, not really. There is a reason why Thai-fighters don't like fighting against Burmese-fighters (Myanmar)
Because Burmese-fighters, they don't really fight dirty. They fight as if it's life or death situation. Meaning they'll pull anything they can get.
But also their training is far more brutal as if Muay Thai training wasn't brutal enough. Henche the hardened bandages.
Muay Thai and Letthwei originiates from the same old Khmer martial arts used for warfare.
Those bandages aren't meant for protection. They are meant as weapons. Because bare hands are to soft.
While Muay Thai opted for regular soft bandaged, Letthwei kept the original hard bandages, and they use this to train and spar against each other. i.e They are used to really hard punishment.
Poor her.
Anyway, thanks for this manga. And good ending too.
The last story better than main story imo
