The art was almost lost in the Cambodian genocide, but it is making a comeback in Phnom Penh, thanks to the efforts of Grand Master San Kim Saen.

Martial Arts Odyssey host, Antonio Graceffo, was the first foreigner to ever train in or write about the Cambodian martial art, Khmer Bokator. Since his first story about the art appeared in Black Belt Magazine, five years ago, the art has been featured in various international TV shows and documentaries.

This compilation video was done from various Bokator clips, filmed over a period of five years, combined with audio provided by a radio interview Antonio did with DJ Julian of Love FM in Phnom Penh, during the filming of the movie, Brooklyn Bokator. Viewers will get a real treat as they will see the Antonio get fat, get fit, get fat, and get fit again, as the video clips were shot over a period of years.

This episode was edited by Antonio Garceffo and features the official Martial Arts Odyssey intro and outro by Andy To. Some of the video was shot by Tim Pek of Transparent Pictures, and it features a radio interview courtesy of DJ Julian and Love FM of Phnom Penh.

Great to see this video montage and ur interview! My kru is the same as WarrenKeingGaw's. He teaches Kbach Kun Boran Khmer-a mixture of Khmer Martial Arts and some Khmer Kickboxing elements, but its not exactly Bokator. I would like to see a real Bokator instructor come by Cambodia Town, USA (Long Beach, CA) to teach!
