Burmese boxing is one of the most savage, brutally effective fighting arts ever developed. Although it sprang from the same roots as the legendary art of Muay Thai, unlike its Thai counterpart, it has not been "civilized" to make it more acceptable as a modern sport. Burmese boxing includes all the bone-breaking punches, elbows, knees and kicks that characterize Thai boxing; however, it also incorporates devastating head butts, throws, spinning strikes and even dramatic vaulting attacks in which the practitioner literally climbs up his opponent's body to deliver a knockout blow. This amazing video takes you inside the forbidden world of Burmese boxing and features a look at its history, rare footage of boxing demonstrations by Burmese masters, instruction in its basic fighting techniques and counters, and the rules of modern Burmese boxing. It also includes highlights of actual Burmese boxing matches that feature the kind of hard-hitting, nonstop action that makes modern no-holds-barred competitions seem tame by comparison. For information purposes only.

In 1937, Grandmaster Benjamin Luna Lema distilled and codified the teachings of generations of arnisadors into a system of knife and stick fighting so fast, so unpredictable, and so easily taught that he named it Lightning Scientific Arnis. Forged on the anvil of World War II against the Japanese katana, perfected in death-matches where millimeters and microseconds meant the difference between victory and death, the art of Lightning Scientific Arnis (LSA) has never been made openly available to the public - until now. In this truly original video production from Paladin Press, Alfredo Acosta, direct student and authorized representative of Grandmaster Lema, teaches the Thirteen Lethal Strikes of LSA and their accompanying blocks. He then shows you how to combine them with body angling and footwork to yield a series of high-speed flow drills that are guaranteed to burn them into muscle memory. Finally, he teaches the Twelve Fighting Methods: striking combinations and espada y daga techniques that make up the very heart of LSA. Through slow-motion photography and overhead camera angles, this video will provide you with a rare look into a once-hidden martial art. For information purposes only.

Alfredo "Rico" Acosta is a 10th-degree black belt in Lightning Scientific Arnis and was personally authorized by the art's founder, Grandmaster Benjamin Luna Lema, to represent and promote the art in the United States.
