Analysis of New Generation Lethwei by Dave Leduc is a modernized combat system developed by Dave Leduc that codifies the traditional Burmese "Art of 9 Limbs" into a structured, technical curriculum for international audiences. While traditional Lethwei is rooted in ancient Myanmar culture and brutal bare-knuckle rules, Leduc’s "New Generation" approach focuses on technical fluidity, safe training methodologies, and global expansion. Core Technical Foundations

: Prioritizes neck and trapezius strengthening to prevent knockouts and maintain posture in the clinch. Traditional vs. New Generation Lethwei

The system is built upon the "Art of 9 Limbs," which adds the head as a legal striking weapon to the two fists, two elbows, two knees, and two feet used in Muay Thai.

: A hallmark of the system is the ability to "flow" between different strikes—such as transitioning from a kick to a headbutt—to overwhelm opponents.

: Codifies headbutt techniques, teaching practitioners how to strike with the "crown" of the skull to avoid concussions while dealing damage.

About FLR

The FLR project has been developing and providing fishery scientists with a powerful and flexible platform for quantitative fisheries science based on the R statistical language. The guiding principles of FLR are openness, through community involvement and the open source ethos, flexibility, through a design that does not constraint the user to a given paradigm, and extendibility, by the provision of tools that are ready to be personalized and adapted. The main aim is to generalize the use of good quality, open source, flexible software in all areas of quantitative fisheries research and management advice.
