Description: Kun Lbokator is a martial art dating back to the first century. It aims to develop the mental and physical strength and discipline of its practitioners through self-defence techniques and a philosophy of non-violence. Masters lecture their apprentices about their roles and responsibilities in society so that they can protect vulnerable communities and the natural environment and stand up for justice and peace. An embodiment of Cambodia’s social, cultural and religious values, Kun Lbokator is practiced by people of all ages, genders and backgrounds.
