'Thang-Ta', martial arts from Manipur
Saturday, November 12, 2005 at 9:21AM
Manipur, on the eastern frontiers of India, often faced raiders from Burma and other surrounding regions. The rulers of Manipur encouraged Thang-Ta (Thang= sword, Ta=spear) form of martial arts. Another unique feature of Manipur was their women fighters.

i liked the way you have shown it all,but hello thang ta is mainly about women fighters .so i think [personally]that there should be something more about them.there should also be something uderstandable so that school going children have no difficulty in making there school project.i hope yo all will work on my remarks and next time give me no chance of complaining.
