What is Kun Khmer?

Kun Khmer shares the same roots as Thailand’s Muay Thai, Myanmar’s Lethwei, and Laos’ Muay Lao. An ancient martial art dating back to the Angkor Empire, Kun Khmer is now considered Cambodia’s national sport. Kun Khmer is also called Pradal Serey, which can be translated as “free fighting.” While it may share many similarities to Muay Thai, Cambodians say that Kun Khmer has its own deep and rich history. Many even claim that Muay Thai originated from Kun Khmer. In ancient times, Kun Khmer bouts were often fought to the death. Fighters either wore no gloves or wore seashells over their knuckles to inflict maximum damage.

In the modern era of Kun Khmer, the rules governing the sport are very similar to Muay Thai and the fights consist of five 3-minute rounds with gloves. As Cambodia’s national sport, the popularity of Cambodian boxing is evident with six Cambodian TV stations broadcasting weekly tournaments.

Similarly, to Muay Thai, at the start of the match boxers practice kun kru, the playing rituals. In addition, traditional Cambodian music, which is performed with the instruments skor yaul (a type of drum), the sralai (reed flute) and the chhing (cymbals), is played throughout the match.

The Major Rules of Kun Khmer
An athlete is not allowed to strike his/her opponent when he/she is on the ground.
He/she is not allowed to bite.
When an opponent is not able to continue, the referee stops the fight.
Blows to the back are not allowed.
Holding on to the ropes is not allowed.
Blows to the genitals are prohibited.
The sport is governed in Cambodia by the Kun Khmer Federation (KKF).
Recent History and Near Extinction
Kun Khmer has survived near extinction. It has been kept alive by numerous masters and practitioners in an effort to preserve the ancient art and culture of Cambodia. The major threat to Kun Khmer came in the form of the brutal Khmer Rouge regime. Kun Khmer was banned when the Khmer Rouge came to power in 1975, and many top fighters were killed. Seen as a direct threat to Pol Pot’s totalitarian government, Kum Khmer warriors were systematically rooted out. Along with doctors, teachers and anyone else seen as representative of the “old society,” practitioners of the art were brutally killed under the dictator’s orders. The sport resurfaced once again after the Khmer Rouge were ousted in 1979.

Kun Khmer vs. Muay Thai
As a sport and fighting art, today’s Kun Khmer shares many similarities with Muay Thai, which is familiar to those who follow Thai boxing. These similarities include the traditional dance performed by fighters before a bout, as well as the traditional music played during a fight, which increases in tempo each round to encourage the fighters to fight harder. Since in both Thai and Cambodian boxing fighters believe that tattoos bring good luck, such tattoos are commonly seen on the bodies of both Thai and Cambodian boxers. The major difference between the arts is that Kun Khmer tends to favour the use of elbows and punches more than Muay Thai fighters who predominantly focus on kicking. When observing fights between Thais and Cambodians, commentators often compare the two arts in international competitions, noting that while Cambodian fighters may not be as skillful on the international stage, they often have great heart, conditioning, mental hardness, determination, as well as deadly elbows!
