Angkor Bokator Australia




Angkor Bokator Australia

Labokator (meaning fight with a lion) is most commonly known as Bokator. It is an ancient Khmer or Cambodian martial art which was used on the battlefield by the old Khmer kings and warriors. It is thought that the superior skill of these warriors using this close quarter combat system allowed the Khmer Empire to dominate South East Asia for over 800 years. Carvings of Bokator have been recorded and can still be seen on some of the temples of Angkor Wat. This art form was lost for centuries with only a few teachers and students practising this traditional martial art. Bokator teachers and students were targeted and killed by the Khmer Rouge along with other traditional arts such as dance, music and singing and later the Vietnamese leaders also banned the practice of Bokator.

This ancient art form that allowed Cambodia to dominate southeast Asia for over 700 years was almost lost during the war commonly known as "the killing feilds". It is my goal and passion to share my knowledge of this ancient martial art, history and culture with the world. After experiencing a childhood full of bullying and physical abuse Bokator allowed me to build my confidence and my love for my country. I hope that you find this course educational and fun while learning self defence skills.
