What We Do
The Weirton Bando Association will honor veterans who fought and died in the Burma-China-India [CBI] Theatre of World War II in the Burma Campaign.
Kickboxing
Rooted in ancient Burmese martial arts traditions, Bando kickboxing combines devastating striking techniques with practical self-defense applications. Our training emphasizes explosive kicks, powerful punches, and middle style techniques that blend close-range striking with fluid transitions and adaptable footwork. This dynamic system builds complete fighters who can control distance, read opponents, and strike effectively from any range—while developing exceptional physical conditioning and mental discipline.
Kata
Bando kata encode centuries of Burmese fighting strategy through dynamic forms that emphasize explosive power and practical application. Each kata teaches you to move like the animals that inspired them - striking with the viper's speed, defending with the panther's agility, overwhelming with the bull's force. These aren't mere exercises but combat blueprints that develop the dynamic fighting style and adaptable mindset central to Bando's battle heritage
Boxing
Few sports demand as much as boxing—precision timing, relentless conditioning, and the courage to face every challenge head-on. This legendary discipline has shaped champions for generations, building not just powerful fighters but resilient individuals who carry that strength into every aspect of life.
