"In 1933 the Military Athletic Club was formed at Maymyo [sic?] in northern Burma by Gurkha Officers. By the end of the decade the club included Chin, Burmese, Kachin and Karen army officers. G. Bahadur, a Gurkha, was elected the first the first chairman of the club. Another luminary was U Ba Than (Gyi) who was to serve twenty five years as Director of Physical Education of Burma before retiring. ... ...the International Bando Association, was established recently by U Ba Than (Gyi) in memory of those who died in the China-Burma-India area for the allied cause in World War II. As such, it continues the work of the Military Athletic Club, which lapsed in 1948. It has of course a more international character, and Maung Gyi, its teacher accredited to the United States, is the son of U Ba Than (Gyi). Maung Gyi is a versatile fighter in his own right, having studied Chinese, Indian, Japanese and Western methods." > From: "Anthony James Hawkins" > Date: Fri, 03 Aug 2001 22:25:08 -0400 > Subject: eskrima: Re: Dr. Gyi (Nepalese?) > > I really have no axe to grind here, ive never worked with Dr. Gyi, but I > have heard he is an excellent martial artist.
