[edit] Merging

Each of Bando, Bando kickboxing and bando yoga do not have enough to make a worthwhile article and they are strongly related. Far better to have something that can develop into a reasonable article than a series of stubs. The kickboxing and yoga versions would still exist as redirects and be their own subsections.

It might make sense to merge the Bando Kickboxing and Bando topics but much more can be added to the Bando article, and Bando Kickboxing should be eliminated or consolidated with the Lethwei topic as they are the same thing. Bando could be considered similar to the term Kungfu. Bando encompasses a wide range of combative styles, and where there is redundancy the articles should be consolidated. I don't really agree with the yoga consolidation though. This is not part of the Martial System, it is a "healing" system with a separate history even though it may intersect with the martial system. The yoga systems, include "Dhanda yoga", "Longi yoga", and additional subdivisions. TheUglyAmerican 16:31, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Makes sense - there is a lot of stuff on Bando in the Burmese martial arts article that should be shifted over. So - I did my best sorting things out but expect I messed up somewhere along the way. My impression was that the original author was a bit indiscriminate but hopefully with what I did this topic can grow properly.Peter Rehse 00:07, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
