Kun Khmer, Cambodia's national sport, is a form of kickboxing incorporating elbows, knees, punches, and kicks to defeat opponents. Here’s an overview:

Origin: Rooted in ancient Khmer martial arts known as Bokator, Kun Khmer is depicted in carvings dating back to the Angkor period.

Style: Characterized by powerful strikes, Kun Khmer emphasizes hip rotation for kicks rather than snapping the leg. Clinch fighting is integral to its techniques.
