I'm no martial arts expert, but would you not agree that many moves overlaps? For example, Hapkido has joint lock moves that is the same used in Aikido. How about armbar? Everyone does Kicking? Ditto. Low stances, knee and elbow attacks? Crouching? That's no a trademark of Hapkido. You know there is a Hapkido teacher that went to learn from San Kim Sean? He did not say it was a copy of Hapkido. Bokator has been in a rivival for only about 3 years. Give it time.

HatedWar, how did we lie? You know most of the old masters died long ago? You want the "truth" out...tell me how do you recover this? YOu keep saying that this is not real. We are working with what we have. You make it sound like this is a fraud and somebody is profitting off of this. Are you going to accuse Khmer Surin people of being fake Khmer too? What is your point?

[HatedWar]

Man...., This is Fake! Khmer Bokator ain't like this. how many people see this is fake Bokator??

please, please.. if u want to create a new bokator do it better this style don look good at all, you make the real Bokator down to hell now. :(

HatedWar, let's put it this way...if you're concerned about the preservation of the original, go learn it and come help teach. What the Khmer community needs to stop doing is hate on each other. We need to unite. If we are going to wait for the "real" one like you said, it will never happen. Because, by the time the "real one" steps up, they'd all be dead anyway.

We practice every Wednesday and Thursday from 7:00PM-9:00PM at the MacArthure Community Center on Anahiem Street.
