Ancient Cambodia was an ancient civilization just like the Mayans and Ancient Greeks. But a bit younger. Its not really taught in Western History classes though. It was like the Ancient Greece of Mainland Southeast Asia. Thailand has been influenced a lot by Ancient Cambodia. Especially Hindu traditions since Thailand was never a Hindu Nation. In Muay Thai, they have techniques based on the Hindu god Hanuman even though Thailand was never Hindu. The King of Thailand still has a Hindu priest in his royal court since that's what the Ancient Khmer Kings had. The warrior tattoos that Muay Thai fighter have are still written in Old Khmer, the language of the Ancient Cambodia.
Also, I believe Angkor Wat wasn't destroyed is because it is the largest temple in the world. It is extremely well designed and engineered. It is made out of rocks of laterite and sandstone that are incredible heavy. Disassembling it would be just as hard as building it. I think Siam burned down Angkor Wat but the rock foundation can't be burned.
Thanks for sharing about Cambodian martial arts.
True about the Thai though because they weren't hinduist and there first main religion which they got exposed is Theravada Buddhism. The khmer back then were Trimurti, Mahayana buddhism then you got Southern Esoteric Buddhism which King Jayavarman 7th took interest even though he follow Mahayana. As for Angkor structure, the first layer is sand then laterite then sandstone. If you try to carve like a flower or animal on laterite, it wouldn't look pretty that is why sandstone is the last layer.
The original size of angkor wat was about 4 times the area. There's only hints of what used to be there because the rest of the city was wood in construction!
Cambodia love to point at thier angkor wat and claim every thing , but they don't like to talk about two army that carve on angkor wat that is Lavo army and siam army , and that is the two kingdom that mix it together become history of thailand .
what more cambodia they destroy the word "Syam kuk" that carve on angkor wat to trying hide something about this history.
This so fucking cool. Keep up the great content Jerry! Been excited to you've uploaded a vid for the last 3 years!
Thank you kindly for telling the truth of Khmer martial art and the history of Cambodia and your love for the Khmer. Due to many civil wars and neighboring invasions for many centuries Khmer culture is the brink of collapsing and now Khmer finally coming back from the dead. May God bless you.
well one of the muay thai moves is called chab Khaw, "Grab neck" in thai is a khmer derived word. Compared to the original tai language, they dont have that word.
No disrespect to Thailand but Muay Thai did come from Cambodia. My aunt who is Khmer married a Thai man, so he is my uncle. My thai uncle who is very pro-thai said "Muay Thai came from Thailand. But the art evolved from Cambodia's Martial art. We just "cleaned it up" and made it modern". His reasoning was admitting due to the fact that Khmer Empire influenced Thailand. That is coming from a Thai guy which surprised me.
This is just beautiful! Thank you!
Thank you soo much for exposing Cambodia’s true history and martial arts. Our neighbours show us no respect for our claims , and they call as “Claimbodia” but everything Dean is saying true....
Thank you guys
ខ្ញុំចង់ឃេីញអ្នកហាត់ក្បាច់គុនខ្មែរ,🤗🤗
Laaa e laaha ill lal laaw ( There's no God but the God) blessing for you for telling the truth
Respect to Dean Rosewald to telling the story of Khmer Empire history accurately as a Khmer would explain it.
I did traditional staff fighting aka kun tam bong
Pradal Serey is more of the proper name but everybody call it Kun Khmer for short as an informal word. The only difference between the Kun Khmer and Muay Thai is the point system and the rules are about the same except that in Muay Thai rules in Thailand leg sweep is awarded as a point but in Kun Khmer, the leg sweep doesn't count as a point so no points. Kun Khmer is a lot more aggressive, aiming to KO an opponent instead of winning by points like in most Muay Thai fights. To this aim Kun Khmer has a much heavier focus on elbows and knees, thus strikes with these body parts have been developed to a much more effective and devastating method than their thai counterpart.
Thank you for explaining that Bong, is Bokator different To Pradal Serey?
Wikipedia say Pradal Serey is the unarmed combat sport while Bokator is the whole MA with ground fight and weapons.
cambodia 🇰🇭 Bokator
I have been trying to buy that book for awhile now, I follow bokator kun and several other channels. Anyone know how to get a hold of that book?
Me too it seems like you can only get the book in Cambodia but I'm not sure
A lot of khmers did hapkido in the cherum refugee camp
Wow wow wow
How can get a copy of these books please help me.
Muayboran in Khmer mean one ancient. One ancient beginning in the Khmer empire.

What level did San Kim Sean reach in Bokator before his teacher was killed?
Your explanation makes a lot of sense. The flow of timeline, the meaning, the function, the fact, the evidence on the wall of temples, the difference, etc. are correct and true. I hope if Thailand can claim and prove if Muay Thai is older than Khmer martial arts. It doesn't make any sense if a younger kingdom could invent her own arts without learning or being taught ( or adopt, change, revise, revolt, etc. ) by an older ancient civilization. Maybe Thailand was born from GOD or with natural enlightment and talents. If so, all scholars will laugh to death. Thailand is fooling the world with popularity and current prosperity status. I hope the world is not that stupid.
The truth is Khmer was colonized by Siam for more than 400 years. Some era under Vietnam control.
@@nukenum3351 what history, bro. The truth is siameses have been invaders and thieves for centuries.
@@nukenum3351True, that’s after absorbing all of Khmer culture and adding your own flavor to it. At least you liked our culture. I’m honored. Much like Ancient Rome, we were fighting on all fronts, that is, Siam on the North-West, Cham on the East, and Dai Viet on the South-East.
The Khmer empire once was all over the region what is today Thailand and more. But Burmese Lethwei is also very simular.
Thai Kingdom was used to be a vassal state of Khmer Empire. During the wars, Khmer Empire used a lot of Thai mercenaries. In order for a vassal state to be strong and even swallow its lord then they need to copy and learn from the enemy including marital art
Joke khmen😊
@@taywinpairat1126why so racist?
❤️
You the man Dean
Lol, "Super super old dude"...Say it as if he was Master Splinter or Mr. Miagi 3:44
Hi Jerry, how long have you had this channel up? Is it new?
Had it for a while. Just haven't had much time to develop this channel. Will spend more time on this soon!
Also, I don't know if Pradal Serey and Southeast Asian boxing all descend from Bokator but All Cambodian martial arts masters agree Thai martial arts came from Cambodia.
There are some different ancient version of Cambodian martial arts. I don't know if they all are variation of each other or the same thing or different martial arts. I think the common knowledge is that Pradal Serey descends from Kbach Kun Boran Khmer much like Muay Thai descends from Muay Boran. Kbach Kun Boran is the nonsport version of Pradal Serey plus the short staff, long staff and sword. But Kbach Kun Boran just means "Ancient Martial Arts" so its possibly an abbreviated version of Bokator. There is also Yuthakun Khom which was practiced by Ancient Cambodia's Old Knights. It uses a lot of weapons. Its practice by MMA fighter Chan Rothana and his father who is the Master.
You are about right. I always think Khmer traditional wrestling is the main foundation since it also have the dance then Bokator and then Yuthakun then Pradal Serey.
Welll schooled in it aren’t ya. My old man taught long staff once upon a time. Kun tam bang
Yes bokotar is mother of all
Sukothai was a khmer outpost .
So it was for sure the khmer that brought this style to Thailand .
The first Thai kingdoms were khmer

FACTS
I did not know this channel nor this video existed, my 16 year old self was so dumb. also the K in kun has a G sound, I made this mistake for too long so I want other people to not make it too.
Let’s make it simple, without Cambodia there’s will be no Thailand
Haaaa, Don't lie to the world. Siam rule Cambodian for 400 years. Slave Khmer.
❤😊
So base on "your logic" of what you have been told, Bokator exist before Thai and Vietnam exist. Then Thai and Vietnam came and beating Khamar army using unknow fighting style, took their land and adapt to the fighting art of the loser? Yeah, sound legit to me
lol claimbodia
It’s very bad etiquette and PR to speak about another martial arts. Just promote Bokator but do not speak about Muay Thai. That is basically starting a war. There’s a famous American quote, “Keep my name out your mouth.”
Promote positivity. Discrediting another martial art especially from a neighboring country will only end bad.
