Thousands of techniques, first you'll never be able to practice it all let along master it, and without muscle memory its useless, and in a real fight to much techniques will only confuse you and hold you back. 100s of kicks in bokator?...naw just variations of the same kicks. What if you learn just bokator fighting? well then thats not bokator nomore its just kickboxing. meaning the original full style must be crap if he made a sub style just for fighting lol.

@lazy702622 Muay Boran also had hundreds of techniques. in 1925, when they codified modern Muay Thai, most of those techniques were cut from the sport curriculum of Muay Thai. Bokator is the same. There are tens of thousands of movements. But the fighting art only has less than 100 strikes and then the throws and grapples. That is very common in fighting arts. for example, San Da is a component of Wu Su, but has considerably less techniques.

@lazy702622 when you said "dude to" did you mean "due to"? that would make a lot more sense. "Due to your inferiority complex." But you said you heard a rumor. was it a rumor or your own observation? Would you need third party verification to feel strong enough to voice your own opinion?

@lazy702622 Sorry, you lost me at the end, your grammar was so screwed up, I couldn't quite understand it. were you saying I had downs syndrome as a child? Or that I was retarded? Actually, I have several university degrees and have done advanced studies in the field of applied linguistics. You may think I don't fight well, but you can clearly see that i am not retarded.

@lazy702622 sadly, there is no Khmer MA in Thailand. In addition to the several years I trained in Thailand, i also did research in Surin, hoping to find Bokator. Unfortunately, I only found Muay Boran. And, while they are related, Muay Boran does not include ground fighting.

@lazy702622 Sorry, i don't understand your comment. My father? How is my father connected to this discussion? Also i dont drink Red Bull or take any stimulants or drugs, apart from coffee and sugar. Red Bull does not give you wings, neither does it alter your ears. I am over weight, but i am not exactly fat. Not sure where you are going with this.
