Bokator is definitely a Khmer art which was born out during the ancient Khmer empire during the Angkorean age and has been pass down to future generations to carry on as much as Cambodian classical ballet or court dance which was usually accompany by royalty and nobility. Despite its low profile and the rarity of its art form, bokator will be prosperous as much as royal court dancing which is supported by all Cambodian. We are a people that will overcome all adversity and remain glorious.
Bokator is there, it has been collected and invented by the King of Jayavarman VII against the Mongolian force. Bokator of 8 and 12 doors way of combating.
1- punch, cross, jab, hook, upward elbow, elbow cross and fly and downward elbow.
2- Knee or low kick, half body cut, and round house kick
Grappling, the cut the air intake of the opponent, knee front and side, and last key to lock up your opponent hand, you train to jump as fast as the monkey.
Hapkator oops! Bokator is invented by Hapkido master San Kim Sean, Cambodian refugee, after Ong Bak 1 came out. He got inspired so much by Tony Jaa move. He decided to go back to the homeland to reinvented the lost Khmer pride called Hapkator sorry Bokator.
Wow...this is SO incredible!!! I'm Cambodian and I had no idea there was such thing! I was 9 and a half before I was adopted out of Cambodia and never knew any of this. Thanks so much and now I know there's something I can be proud of... :)
When cambodians fight outsiders that are trying to learn, they don't go hard..thats total disrespect to the culture too. The only time you will see a cambodian who knows the art of bokator is against another professional or in a life and death situation.
6:31 is the best part :) long live cambodia im not cambodian but have interest in the cambodian culture this video shows that it is not easy to become and be a warrior
Komphor. So why is grandmaster San Kim Sean the center of the show on Cambodian CTN ? Why is he invited for the official show during the Independence day and for the show before the official gala of the olympic sea games ? Now compare, where are the other who tell bad things about him if they are so officials ? Why are they never on TV, never in official cambodian events ? The only this federation seems able to make speak about her, is to attack SKS on the internet about the lion legend.
@CampinBush hey man the thais/ aka siam do sum research... have been fighting with the burma for hundreds of years do your research before you talk shit about another race but i can back up the info
@titouille100 to me telling the historical truth, based on hard facts is not "critisize EVERY khmer". It is fighting for ALL the khmers' Heritage.
It's far more efficient 4 khmer culture promotion, than standing on the side of the first legend-teller coming along and spreading tales invented 4 personal benefits
The traitor (ie "kbot") cannot be the one defending the khmer empire genuine culture. As far as I can C there is no personal benefit there.
@KunKhmer01 Stop hating man! I don't see you doing anything to benefit Khmer culture and people! All I see you doing is yapping on the internet! At least San Kimsean is doing something! Don't go busting someone's chops just because they are a BETTER Khmer than you.

More than that ! Bokator IS NOT THAT ! Bokator is just an armed style among the the different khmer martial arts disciplines.
Short sticks or Staupe are used in Bokator. This is a "tourist-tailored" version of a fake khmer martial art discipline

Your Bokator Academy that you name is not recognized by any Khmer Authorities.
It's just an Academy created by your "master" S. K. S.
