Felix,

There is quite a bit of stuff out on the internet, but I'll give it a shot:

Bando is similar to Muay Thai. They share the same powerful kick, but whereas in Muay Thai there is an emphasis on elbows and knees, in Bando the emphasis is on grappling and locking techniques. They also practice the headbutt. The practioner trains in basic Burmese boxing for a good while, becoming familiar with a lot of aspects similar to Muay Thai, after that he moves onto the animal postures.

There are 12 (maybe more in different regions) different postures based (like kung-fu) on animals. In theory, the teacher takes into account the student's physique, stamina, and speed and teaches the particular posture that best suits that student's characteristics.

It seems that there is a national Thaing (which is the general Burmese word for their martial art) training center in Myanmar. I'm sure there are plenty of camps like around the country, as well.
