Pongyi thaing
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Control of opponent with a stick
Pongyi thaing or Bando Monk System is based on ancient Hindu and Buddhist principes of non-violence. It's a disciplined way of life. It is not a religion, a doctrine or a dogma. It is an integrated system of developing the body, mind and spirit to achieve harmony with oneself, with others, with nature.
Style are generally determined by the level of emotional control during confrontation. Levels of emotional discipline determine the nature of action and reaction.
Objective is not cause maximum harm to opponent. Acts of brutality may be seen in the "Monk system".
