This book explores the evolution of Burmese grappling, tracing its roots from ancient tribal traditions to its role in modern combat sports. It examines how Naban developed as a battlefield skill, shaped by Myanmar's geography, history, and cultural beliefs. The book connects the art of grappling to the warrior code, Buddhist teachings, and monastic discipline, showing how combat training was about more than just physical strength. It covers the influence of early civilizations such as the first city-states, the early kingdoms of the south, and the great temple-building rulers, detailing how their military systems and court traditions shaped the practice of wrestling. It explains how grappling was integrated into the training of soldiers and warriors, used both as a survival skill and a way to demonstrate honor and discipline. The book also explores how beliefs in spirits, rituals, and blessings played a role in combat training, with warriors seeking protection and strength before battle. The idea of balance in military strategy is examined, explaining how Burmese generals organized their armies using principles of control and structure. It discusses the importance of adapting in grappling, showing how fighters were taught to stay calm under pressure and accept both victory and defeat as temporary states. The role of hierarchy and ethical conduct in combat is also explored, emphasizing the importance of respect, loyalty, and discipline in warrior culture. The book describes how wrestling was passed down through generations using an apprenticeship system, where students learned directly from masters through oral instruction and years of training. It explains how fighters hardened their minds and bodies through intense practice, preparing for both sport and real combat. The teacher-student relationship is explored in detail, highlighting the importance of loyalty and the responsibility of passing knowledge to the next generation. A section on restricted techniques and the ethics of combat examines moves that were considered too dangerous for sport, reserved only for battlefield use. The transition from battlefield training to public wrestling matches is discussed, showing how Naban became a spectacle in royal courts and village festivals while maintaining its deep cultural significance. The book also looks at how Naban interacted with Western combat styles during colonial rule, how it was suppressed, and how it later influenced and was influenced by global martial arts. It discusses the efforts to revive Naban and gain national recognition, balancing the push for modern competition with the need to preserve traditional techniques. Finally, it examines the future of Burmese grappling, exploring its potential role in martial arts worldwide, organized sports, and cultural preservation.
