My Bokator Story 8

Antonio Graceffo describes how his Asian martial art adventure began in Taiwan, then lead to the Shaolin Temple, followed by Thailands last Muay Thai Temple, studying with Kru Bah and eventually took him to Cambodia, where he was the first westerner to study Bokator, traditional Khmer martial art. Along the way, he also learned Bradal Serey and trained in professional boxing with cambodias lead international trainer, Paddy Carson. The story is also mapped out in greater detail in his books, available on amazon.com As always, Antonio asks you to join him on facebook.com

Anthonio, why don't you try to find bokator boxer in Surin, you might find one ?

[brooklynmonk1]

@tchhom i did go to surin to study muay boran and to look for a bokator master but there aren't any in surin anymore. there are a lot of Khmer and Thai-khmers who are fighting professional muay Thai but nothing about bokator.
