This art is rapidly gaining popularity outside Manipur as well.
The history of Thang - ta and Sarit - Sarak can be traced to the 17th century.
Sarit - Sarak is the technique of fighting against armed or unarmed opponents, but on many occasions there is a combined approach to the training of these martial arts.
The Sarit - Sarak art of unarmed combat, is quite distinct from other martial art forms.
