This is the next in a series of 'Martial Arts Odyssey' episodes shot inside of Burma, at Loi Tailang, the headquarters of the Shan State Army. While the army fights to help the Shan people survive and gain independence, Master Kawn Wan struggles to keep his people's martial art alive, and to teach it to the young. See the refugees: orphans, soldiers, and teachers who practice Lai Tai, the Shan art of Kung Fu, so that their cultural heritage will survive.
 
The video features an in depth interview with young kawn Wan, as he explains his theories of martial arts and of cultural survival.
 
The Burmese government, the SPDC, killed his family and burned his village, but they couldn't break his spirit. Kawn Wan wages his private war for the benefit of his people.

Please, say a prayer for the people of Shanland and all of Burma.
