Martial Arts Odyssey: Muay Boran Part 6

[brooklynmonk1]

@ichibang15549 Agreed. If you look at Vietnamese martial arts like Vo Co Truyen and Thieu Lam, they have a clear Chinese influence and you can trace them back to the migration of Vietnamese down from southern china and northern Vietnam to the whole of Vietnam, or credit them to Chinese influence. Lai Tai in Shanland also clearly looks like Chinese Kung fu. but muay thai bears no resemblance to any Chinese martial art. it didn't come from china.

[brooklynmonk1]

[hamsterlover002]

hahahahah wow!

[yuthkundo]

There is a new khmer martial art in US call Yuthkundo.

[brooklynmonk1]

thats cool sounds like yuthakhun and do like tae kwan do or karate do. go go go

[bizzythug1]

many styles from the Khmers were kept secret from the Thais as i heard... isn't there many debates of who started SEA martials arts in Thailand and Cambodia?

[DizLiKhmerKid]

Cambodia started SEA martial arts of course, the thais were from southern China, and SEA martial arts were in SEA before the Thais were there.

cant wait to see it

[Ji33yboy]

im just say my bad if i sounded like a stuck up dude lol im actully a nice guy my bro is thai/khmer

[brooklynmonk1]

funny! no worries man, i just want my khmer brothers to understand that Khmer Surin and Kampuchea krom are also Khmer people. i will go back and do a film in Kampuchea krom hopefully this year, so khmers can see that place too.

[Ji33yboy]

us khmer people created kun khmer which the thais branched off us n made muay thai it suck bcuz we dont get credit we deserve

[brooklynmonk1]

hey man, this video was shot in khmer surin which is khmer, so you should take a close look at it. there is a lot of respect for khmers in this video and Prah Sameth, the monk in the video, is khmer. also i have like ten bokator videos on my channel about khmer martial arts. so be proud man, dont be angry.

[tearo]

Just go to thailand and seek the master himself :P

[MuayThai28002]

Oh did he ever say anything about Kun Khmer or Bokator?

[MuayThai28002]

its nice to see part 6 I enjoyed Part 5 ughh i still cant belive that i didnt know that he trained Tony Jaa ughh but thats really cool. We need REAL trainers in the U.S a trainer like Adjan Sok Chai, lol but that would be impossible
