Kun Khmer is Cambodia\u2019s traditional martial art and has been a popular combat sport since the 9th century. Although not as popular as other conceptually similar systems, Kun Khmer has significantly influenced the development of combat sports and martial arts practice in general.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also known as \u201cPradal Serey\u201d, Kun Khmer focuses on standup striking using punches, kicks, knees, and elbows, clinch fighting, and limited grappling. The emphasis is on landing hard kicks from the distance and securing a dominant clinch position from which fighters can land hard elbows. It is very similar to Muay Thai, but more about that later. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is just a brief explanation of what Kun Khmer represents, so be sure to read the rest of this article to learn more about its history, techniques and styles, effectiveness, famous practitioners, and how it compares with other similar martial arts.<\/p>\n\n\n
