Kun Khmer ( Pradal Serey )


Pradal Serey (Khmer: ប្រដាល់សេរី) or Kun Khmer (Khmer: គុណខ្មែរ) is an unarmed martial art from Cambodia.[1] In Khmer the word pradal means fighting or boxing and serey means free. Kun Khmer is considered one of Cambodia's national sports. Kun Khmer is a kickboxing form descended directly from early forms of khmer fighting techniques that went by the name Yuthakun Khom.[2] Its moves have been slightly altered to comply with the modern rules.

Kun Khmer is mostly the same as unarmed kbach kun boran/ Yuthakun Khom except it does not include mae (core techniques), tvear (door system that emphasizes footwork). Instead, it focuses more on winning a bout. While most well known for its kicking technique, which generates power from hip rotation rather than snapping the leg, Kun Khmer consists of four types of strikes: punches, kicks, elbows and knee strikes. The clinch is used to wear down the opponent. In the clinch, opponents battle for dominant position for short range strikes by way of elbows and knees. Scholars believe that all South East Asian Indochinese kickboxing styles originate from what is thought to be the migrated Indian kingdom of Funan[3][4][5] just prior to the creation of the Khmer Empire; consequentially Kun Khmer, Muay Thai, Lethwei and Tomoi all share similar stances and techniques. Cambodian fighters tend to utilize more elbows than that of other regions who practice the sport and Burmese lethwei fights still allow head-butting. Elbows are known in the sport combat world for creating major damage to an opponent; in kun Khmer, it is possible that more victories come by way of an elbow technique than any other strikes.
