Thang-Ta

Thang-Ta is a unique traditional martial art and a martial education of India which is originated from Manipur, a tiny state in northeast India. Thang-Ta integrates the arts of Thang(sword), Ta(spear), Sharit-Sharak(unarmed combat), Sajen Kanglon(physical exercise), Thengouron(spiritual arts), Ningsha Kanglon(breathing exercise), Layeng Kanglon(natural medicinal education), Hirikonba(medication), and other vital arts of warfare. The actual system Lallup(a group of military forces) was introduced during the reign of King Loyumba(1074-1122 AD). King Punshiba(1404-1432 AD) introduced the permanent and professional military department called Shingchep Meira Haijouroi. King Pamheiba(1709-1748 AD) strengthens and upgraded the Lallup system. Under this system every male above 16 years served the state voluntarily as duty ten days in forty days, therefore each individual person served the state some 90 days in a year. They performed their duties for the state and trained Thang-Ta martial arts as an important subject of physical exercise. Hence every person was compelled by himself to have Thang-Ta martial art training. Today Thang-Ta has emerged as a very popular martial art game in India and attained recognition in the realm of national and international. The Manipuri Thang-Ta, replete with unique forms of fights, naturally evolved against the warlike background of the ancient kingdom. Many thrilling combat demonstrations and performing arts of Thang-Ta which are exotic and display-oriented had been displayed at various cultural centers and functions in different countries of the world.

Vo Co Truyen, Võ cổ truyền

Vo Co Truyen uses the principles of Yin Yang and mutuality to explain the effects of the attack, defense, counterattack, and transformations of powerful moves. That is, taking the theory of mutuality to say the biochemistry of the right moves together. King Hung (2879 BC) is the founder of Vo Co Truyen. The chairman of the council and ministers signed a determination to form the Vietnam Traditional Martial Arts Federation in 1991. The Federation is researching and restoring the Vo Co Truyen with the help of the state.

SAMBO, самозащита без оружия

The term “SAMBO” is an acronym of ‘SAM-ozashchita Bez Oruzhiya’, meaning ‘self-defense without weapons’. Putin, the president of Russia, was also a SAMBO player. SAMBO has been actualized in 1938 as the former USSR Committee of Sports to serve as a common form of sport wrestling for the fifteen different republics of the former Soviet Union, each of which had one or more of its own distinct styles of folk wrestling, with widely varying rules. It was also taught as a form of hand-to-hand combat by Soviet soldiers for use in unarmed self-defense. In 1984, the International Amateur SAMBO Federation (FIAS) was constituted to govern the sport internationally.

Garrote Larense, Garrote Tocuyano

It is a Venezuelan martial art that involves machete, stick-fighting, and knife fencing. The name is relative to the city of El Tocuyo, southwest of the Lara state, the starting point of the colonization. It can be taken into consideration that the origin of this game came from the mixtures given at the time of the conquest. Since several cultures were brought from far away, only the strongest of those was survived and some fighting techniques originated or became known during the conquest struggles, when they fought with everything they could, in order to obtain precious independence. Then since being an independent nation, some martial arts and games were brought by the European migrant practitioners mainly from Spain, Portugal, and the Canary Islands. They had similar forms to Garrote Larense, such as the Cuchillo Siciliano, Makila Vasca, Jogo do Pao, Juego del Palo. And it is very likely that these people have met masters of Garrote Larense, sharing techniques and experiences, and influencing this art.
