Description:		Translation (Rita Seng Mai) In the past, we had very strong Jinghpaw women called "Ndang Mahkawn." ("Ndang" means undefeatable, and "Mahkawn" means women.) We also had wrestling competitions (just like the ones Awng La Nsang competes in today). In the past, the Jinghpaw women competed in wrestling with the Burmese. One Jinghpaw "Ndang Mahkawn" could defeat nine Burmese women. Our elders told us that one Ndang Mahkawn could defeat nine women. She was said to be so strong that, while sitting on a large mortar used for pounding paddy, she could even break it with a fart. We have been fighting with the Burmese people since long ago. We have heard that the Jinghpaw people were always the victors.
