Myanmar Traditional Boxing is a form of kickboxing which originated in Myanmar. Lethwei is in many ways similar to its siblings from neighboring South-East Asian countries such as Tomoi from Malaysia. Pradal Serey from Cambodia and Muay Thai from Thailand. If Thai Boxing is the science of 8 limbs. then Lethwei can be called the science of 9 limbs. due to the allowance of head butts. In comparison. Lethwei can be interpreted as being bolder and more extreme.

One textile design the Myanmar have lived for two hundred years is the lun yakyaw acheik (over-hundred-shuttle acheik) design. It is suitable for men and women. Both the weft and the warp are pure silk threads and from over a hundred to two hundred shuttles are used according to the design to be worked on. The weaving takes days and the fabric is thus expensive. Only the well-to-do can afford it. But in the villages cotton is used and the design modified to produce cheaper versions.
