Embrace the spirit. Preserve the system. Honor the legacy.

Honoring America’s heroes and preserving the ancient Bando martial arts — a legacy of strength, respect, and courage that continues to inspire.

For over 50 years, the American Bando Association (ABA) has preserved the Hanthawaddy Bando martial arts of Burma while honoring U.S. veterans — blending tradition, strength, and respect through combat and healing arts.

Years Preserving Tradition

Honoring Heroes,

Preserving Tradition

The American Bando Association is a non-profit organization dedicated to honoring American Veterans and to the preservation of the Hanthawaddy Bando martial arts that originated in Burma (known today as Myanmar).


The ABA does not condone war, but pays special tribute to those who fought for freedom. For the last 50+ years, members of ABA have made special efforts to recognize and honor all servicemen and women on Memorial Day [May], Veterans Day [November] and VJ Day [August].

Nature of Systems:

  • No system is completely unique.
  • No system is completely independent from external and internal influences.
  • Every system is the result of change.
  • Every system evolves over time by integration, modification, and restructuring — resulting in what we then call “uniqueness.”
  • Over time, this unique system will also change.
