Kun Khmer is the origin of Muay Thai. The history and evidence exist on Angkor Wat Temple, which was built thousands of years ago.
Kun Khmer, also known as Pradal Serey, has a history that extends back over a thousand years, with evidence of its ancient origins found on the bas-reliefs of Angkor Wat and other temples. These depictions show warriors engaged in combat, suggesting that martial arts were a significant part of Khmer culture during the height of the Khmer Empire, which lasted from the 9th to the 15th centuries .
Bokator, another ancient Cambodian martial art, is believed to be even older and was used by the military on the battlefield. It incorporates a wide range of techniques, including striking, grappling, and the use of weapons. The revival of Bokator in recent years has helped to highlight the deep historical roots of Khmer martial arts .
Despite the disruptions caused by the Khmer Rouge regime, which resulted in the loss of many cultural traditions, efforts in recent decades have been made to preserve and promote these ancient fighting arts. Researchers and martial arts practitioners have worked to document and revive techniques that might otherwise have been forgotten .
Overall, the historical evidence supports the claim that Kun Khmer and other Khmer martial arts have a rich history spanning over a millennium, deeply embedded in Cambodia's cultural heritage.
