Tway Ma Shaung ( Na Gar Marn Lethwei club ) is 60-63kg & free weight class Lethwei Champion. He's famous for his victories over foreign challengers and much bigger/stronger opponents. He is the man who don't know how to step back and always going forward pressuring the opponents in all rounds and has great pain threshold(the upper limit of tolerant to pain). He got the nick name '' Myanmar Man Of Steel '' . His Name '' Tway Ma Shaung '' means '' Brave heart, never step back , always forward & fearless . His given name is Yan Naing Lin.

In Myanmar Lethwei ( Myanmar Kickboxing ) , you need to knock out the opponent down or it will declare as the draw. It's the art of 9 limbs - 2 fists, 2 elbows , 2legs , 2 kness , 1 head. Head butts are allowed in lethwei and Head butt knock out are quite common too. It is bare knuckle fighting system & no scoring system( win by KO/TKO/Doctor - refree stoppage only) During the fight , if one of the fighter get knock down , he can have a time-out(3 - 5mins) to continue the fight.

If one of the fighters falls down/knock down and can't get up after three calls(3times counting numbers) in a single round , he will be declared as the loser. For the whole fight(5 rounds ) , maximum of 5 x calls are allowed.
