Bokator, or more formally, L'bokator is a Khmer martial art that includes weapons techniques. One of the oldest existing fighting systems in Cambodia, oral tradition indicates that bokator or an early form thereof was the close quarter combat system used by the armies before Angkor 1,700 years ago. The term bokator translates as "pounding a lion” from the words bok meaning "to pound" and tor meaning "lion." A common misunderstanding, is that bokator refers to all Khmer martial arts while in reality it only represents one particular style. #Bokator #Labokator #KhmerMartialArts #KhmerBoxing #KhmerFighting #TraveltoCambodia #LoleiTravel #LoleiReisen https://www.instagram.com/p/B2Eu4C0FiBc/?igshid=18kvrhlwbulnx
