Khmer wrestling, also known as Khmer traditional wrestling or Bokator, is a martial art that originated in Cambodia. It is one of the oldest forms of wrestling in the world and has been practiced for over 2,000 years. Khmer wrestling combines striking techniques, grappling, throws, joint locks, and submissions.
The sport has a rich cultural history and was typically practiced by soldiers, as it was an important part of military training. Today, Khmer wrestling is enjoyed as both a sport and a form of self-defense.
In Khmer wrestling, competitors wear traditional uniforms consisting of a loincloth and a headband. Matches take place on a circular dirt arena, and competitors try to throw their opponents off balance and force them to the ground. The matches are judged based on the skill, technique, and stamina of the competitors.
In recent years, Khmer wrestling has gained international recognition and has been included in the Southeast Asian Games. It is still a popular sport in Cambodia, and many young people are taking up the practice as a way to learn more about their country's cultural heritage.
