As a Cambodian, I just want people to stay with the truth. This is what I call " the truth ".
Thank you very much❤
Thank you for speaking the truth and giving credit to the Khmer/Cambodian people. As an American I’ve done deep dive an research and you see that the Khmer empire had a big impact on Thailand but every news outlet and media from the Thais always try to discredit the Khmer influence and anything Khmer. From Sak yant which they refer to Khom scriptures, when khom is Khmer. From their elephants only moving to the command of the Khmer language, etc.
I live in the US, but Muay Boran, in the ancient Khmer empire language translates to One (Muay) ancestor (Boran). One Ancestor. So we are all related, and all these regional styles came from one ERA, they don't have to be the same now. Muay Thai is the most commercialize and popular because Thailand is rich compared to Lao and Cambodia. The golden rule, " He whom has the gold, makes the rules". Thailand is making all the rules. Sad, but that is how the modern marketing world works.
As DNA analysis of international. Khmer DNA same as African including Indonesian. Khmer people are not original people on this Mainland. Khmer empire is fake history that France created. Angor-Wat is built by Ancient Mon(Khom) but Khmer doesn't have Ancient Mon DNA. Thai people have Ancient Mon DNA mostly in SEA.
@@billfahchannel934 false narrative, once again.
The majority population of the Isan region is ethnically Lao, but distinguish themselves not only from the Lao of Laos but also from the Central Thai by calling themselves khon Isan or Thai Isan in general. Fighters like saenchi, etc, are Isan descendants. That's why the style is so similar. Muay Laos used to focus a lot on the elbows, or that's how my uncle taught me. Ancient style or muay boran if you watch closely it uses a lot of elbow techniques. You'll notice a lot of good muay thai fighters are from the isan region. The style likely came out of cambodia because Laos' first king married a khmer princess and took over their military. Over time, styles do change and adapt to their region.
Thanks for watching!
Actually many trainers really loves Isan style of Muay Thai. Maybe I will make vid about it!
Went to Laos Vientiane this year and train Muay Lao there, was very awesome experience for me.
Cool!
What place?
Thank you for the history!
Thank you for uploaded this video 🤘
My pleasure!! Thank you!
Good video thank you !!
1:24 thank you for speaking about the true origin of this martial art (Muay thai) which is inspired by Khmer Empire's martial art, which is called "Kun Khmer". I respect and love both martial art❤❤
Yes we learned that and never faked history like some countries that always disrespect who gave birth to their Martial art to be excited now day
Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts on the origins of Muay Thai and the influence of the Khmer Empire's martial art, Kun Khmer. It's important to acknowledge and appreciate the roots and cultural influences that have shaped the development of martial arts traditions.
It's great to see that you have respect and love for both Muay Thai and Kun Khmer, recognizing the unique qualities and contributions of each martial art. This appreciation for different styles and traditions can foster a sense of community and mutual respect within the martial arts world.
Thank you again for your comment and for sharing your insights!
Very educational
This is true, Thank you for sharing the truth to the world.
Finally someone to smoothen out history and stop the argument of who invented Muay Thai.
Muaythai is from Thailand
While living in Cambodia, I was also told that during the Cambodian genocide, many Kun Khmer fighters fled to Thailand and took their arts with them.
Thanks for sharing, Cambodians just want the truth. We respect all material art in ASEAN. Kun khmer, Mauy Thai, Mauy Lao, Lewai.
Just wanted acknowledgement from the Thai people, instead, they are trying to discredit Cambodia.
Lethwei is my favorite art from that area.
The hardest one yes...Actually soon there are will be video about Lehtwei soon. Working on it right now.
And to think Bokator and Prada’s Serey share some moves as well
Sanskrit Maya the root started in India with the Maya style Musti Yuddha the moves to Burma or Myanmar as Lethwei the to Cambodia as Pradal Saray and Bokator then onto Siam as Siamese Boxing later to become Muay Thai and Muay Lao when the territory Separated and became Thailand and Laos. Btw Great Video

There's a love song from Thailand that sings about an historical event that the Thais are actually foreigners, in the love song a Thai lady falls in love with a Khmer man and their descendants is in Issan.
Kun khmer Original from Cambodia
Until Muay Boran is inscribed by UNESCO, thailand can give a fair debate. Petchyindee's promoter remained neutral on this issue when asked about the origin of "Muay Thai". He said, "I cannot say anything. I don't really know. We weren't brought up early in that time. No one really knows. We may have both created the art since we came from the same ancestor"(roughly what he said from what I remembered).
For me, it's clear Cambodia already had a martial art and they were advanced with combat(*ahead of their time). If you look, you'll see arm locks, rear naked chokes, thrust kicks to keep opponents away..ect. Effective moves we see in the UFC(MMA) today! Only a civilization who dominated with war over SEA region is able to invent such practical useful techniques. The Khmer Empire had advance understanding of combat from war experience and they are able to create effective techniques for war.
It would obviously entail having elbows, knees, clinch, and any modern Kun Khmer strikes. The art was used to kill opposing enemies by Khmer Empire soldiers. The elbow was meant as a way to intercept over a shield guard as depicted on the temple carving. You see modern U.S soldiers using that elbow strike by using the butt of the rifle against the jaw to disarm. The same was used in ancient Khmer military combat.
Khmer Emperors employed a lot of Thai and Lao mercenaries so that is why the fighting styles spreading. Especially when Thai would like to break away from the Empire instead of becoming vassal state.
We have been in Muay Thai for a long time. And do not have to imitate anyone. We have Mea Mai Muay Thai or Prototype, we have rules. We have the teachings of teachers. The important thing that Muay Thai teaches people is Be honest with yourself and others. Must respect teacher Bukhari Do not think of betraying the Thai boxing profession and teachers, parents, meritorious people. Or not ungrateful This lesson is not sure about Burmese boxing, Lao boxing, Khmer boxing. Because if there are those boxers, when they come to study Muay Thai, when they return home, they have to say that it is "Muay Thai", not our house boxing, Lao boxing, Khmer boxing. Do you understand the word ungrateful?
Kun khmer all day 🎉
Let you study the history of Muay Thai more than this. Muay Thai has a story for so long that you may not think. We have had Muay Thai since King Naresuan, the King Tiger, Mr. Khanom Tom And came to the 6th reign, we have a boxing ring and Muay Thai boxing at the temple turned to boxing in the boxing field instead. Until the 1970s, Thai boxing was broadcast live on Channel 7 television until today. List of Thai boxers from 1936-1960

You know your history.
Q&A for Eazy Pz: you need to tracking back to the three Kingdoms of s.e.a before Burma there's Khom boarder Khmer and The closed and best cousin is Lao it's doesn't matter where we live in the presence day we all get along fine
Sounds very bias with lack of evidences, more like some informations you heard from someone. Khmer,Java,Malaysia, and other nearby countries's martial arts were influenced from India. In fact, those were some ancient wrestling called "Malla-Yuddha" (on the Olympic website too). The Indian's evidences are so much older, and they look very similar to the Khmer's evidences too. Actually most of cultures in Southeast Asia were all influenced from India. Even things you talked about like Sak yant, Songkran, and many other things were originated in India. And so It's all about development of each countries. I can show you everything i have talked about.
Thank you for your comment on Muay Lao and the influence of Indian martial arts in Southeast Asia. It's important to have a well-rounded understanding of the origins and development of martial arts, and I appreciate you adding to the discussion.
You make a good point that many cultures in Southeast Asia were influenced by India, including their martial arts traditions. It's interesting to learn that the ancient wrestling called "Malla-Yuddha" may have played a role in the development of martial arts in nearby countries such as Cambodia, Java, and Malaysia.
It's also worth noting that the evolution of martial arts in different regions can vary depending on a variety of factors, including geography, culture, and historical events. While there may be some commonalities across different martial arts styles and traditions, each culture has its unique way of interpreting and practicing these disciplines.
Thank you again for your insights, and I'd be interested in learning more about the evidence you mentioned!
Yet no Indian fighter has ever succeeded in defeating modern muaythai fighter. When you talk ancient, you're talking about thing that is not up to date. Some cultures come from India, but equally from China.
@@sportmuaythaiv1045 As a Thai, i'm not sure about equally of Indian and Chinese in Thai's Cultures. Fact is that more than 90 percents of Thais are Buddhism today. And i think most people can agree that Buddhism is originated from India. I respect Muay Thai and other martial arts too, that's why i don't want to compare them. Especially in the modern days where lots of moves had been taken out..( for example "Muay Boran" ) In a standing games we all know that Muay Thai is legit, but what about the ground games?
@@nonon0n0o Lol. Religion is is universal, so what is your point? For a fact, there are more Chinese Buddhist temples in Thailand than there are Hindu and Sikh temples in Thailand. Buddhism in Thailand is influenced by Sri Lanka, and vaguely from India influence. As matter of fact, Indian martial art that claims to have influenced muaythai is Kalaripayattu, but this is more of weapon martial art. BTW, I've lived in India for > four years. I saw nothing resembling muaythai. Muay Boran? It's mostly a hype, and cannot withstand onslaught of modern sport muaythai.
@@sportmuaythaiv1045 maybe read again? Since my beginning, my point was that lots of cultures in South East Asia were influenced from India. I think i should ask you what do you want instead? Trying to make half of Thai people Chinese? Haha.. time to grow up and accept the truth maybe? If you house have google and internet, go search " populations of Buddhism in Thailand, and where Buddhism are from ". Try that and see what is the result.
Also about "Kalaripayattu" it was something that uses weapons not a hand to hand combat like "malla-yuddha". And now about "Muay Boran", if anyone really study it they will know that it was used during real wars especially with Myanmar not like a sport version today. 4 years in India already bragging hahah, lived 15 years plus in India.. and i don't have to brag like you. I mean you can just search " คำว่าสวัสดีมาจากไหน " or " where the word (Sawasdee) originated " then come talk to me again, ok?🤦🏼
គុនខ្មែរជាឪពុករបស់គុនថៃគុនឡាវ🎉
Think I like muay Lao a lil better
Muay thai is not existing. It's exactly muay lai lao. Muay lai lao is for lao tribe not laos. That's why most thai professional fights's parents hardly speak thai because they are laotian living in Thailand. Never mixed up the story!
It's pointless to discuss where muay originated., but for certain, muaythai is much more developed than in Laos and Cambodia. Why, because it became national No 1 sport at professional level. Abhidej Sithirun my first mentor is considered one of the best muaythai fighters. Yet I must admit that even in his prime, kru Abhidej would be knocked out by high ranking modern muaythai fighters. That is how much professional muaythai has progressed. Fighters from Laos, Cambodia and Myanmar cannot fight top ranking Thai fighters, unless they have received muaythai training in Thailand. Just look at ancient muaythai dojos in Thailand. None of them can nurtured a good professional muaythai fighter. Yet to an inexperienced newbie, he would be awed by his instructor of ancient muaythai.
When I was training in Phnom Penh all the Khmer coach tell me than the Thai have steal their art who come originally from the ancient Khmer art of bokator …
This video has alot going on. Whats the effeminate person represent? Great topic. Thanks again for the videos.
Thanks! I', preparing all scripts and texts and sometimes do representations. But this time is my friend David.
Are you based in Laos or Thailand?
The SD Muay Lao gym is in Laos.
I'm in Thailand, but some vids form Laos. And of course all gyms are in Laos. I know couples in capital (Vientiane).
@@malmsProject can you recommend any gyms in Vientiane?
In history , Myanmar had occupied loas ,Thai, Cambodia
U also know lethwei and bando .Firstly, thank u and our martial art lethwei and bando can beat Muay Thai . We also have another martial art Thaing Byaung Byan. Thai sword style is similar our ethnic Shan Sword Style
Kun khmer original
Muay boran has more techniques and speciality than kun khmer and muay loa . So muay boran is not derived from either of them but the two is derived from muay boran . ..
Moreover, its not wise to say muay thai is combodian martial arts without evidence or substance to back your claim .. especially when muay thai is just a modern evolution of muay boran as a sport .

The word muay just means boxing! There is no thai or lao muay, it just means asian boxing.
cambodia call Kun Khmer
I have also vid about it. Thx for watching!

It originally started in India way way back
Keep dreaming 🎉
@@savyvoeung2541 do your research bro. It was from India then changed time from time. th-cam.com/video/ec_A-fV0jyQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=yf8zuzbX4CBbv9aC
@@savyvoeung2541 it's not a dream it's a fact. The man in the video literally said Muay comes from the Sanskrit word Maya. Sanskrit comes from India and the art was Musti Yuddha amongst other Indian martial arts. Musti Yuddha is a art that is associated with Hanuman, who is revered in Muay Boran and Muay Thai as well as Muay Lao. The Ramakien is the Thai version of the Ramayana from India and is the same story. So India had a physical and cultural impact in Thailand and Laos and Cambodia especially Burma or Myanmar
At picture on the stone wall on Angor wat is India martial art, not khmer. It is Hindo temple. Claimbodians please stop create the fake history.
As DNA analysis of international. Khmer DNA same as African including Indonesian. Khmer people are not original people on this Mainland. Khmer empire is fake history that France created. Angor-Wat is built by Ancient Mon(Khom). Khmer doesn't have Ancient Mon DNA but Thai people have Ancient Mon DNA mostly in SEA.
