Dave Leduc Instagram – Training in Myanmar 🇲🇲 (2019 – Before the military coup)
Man, I miss Myanmar… I try to help the people and gyms as much as possible right now and sending money during these atrocious times. Villages burnt, wells poisoned, protesters shot, rights violated, people arrested and killed.. even my former opponent Too Too, the one who welcomed me into Lethwei for my first fight, was just announced dead (via @lethweiworld) it’s a very dark time for the country.
Currently the economy and tourism is at a standstill and it’s plunging the country back into the shadow once again. Since winning the world title in the 2016, we had made amazing strides and brought the sport around the world, thought seminars to over 2000 students, spoke on the biggest podcasts in the world, brought the sport to new countries and live in UFC fight pass. Now that the country is in turmoil, the best I can do is continue to showcase the beautiful and badass art of Lethwei to the world by hosting Lethwei fights in my promotion. Stay strong Myanmar 🇲🇲🙏 | Posted on 28/Jul/2023 06:18:00
