Here's a commission done for a client featuring a Cambodian tigress doing a demonstration of the ancient Khmer martial art known as Bokator!
--
Bokator is an ancient battlefield martial art used by the ancient Khmer military. It is one of the oldest existing fighting systems originating from Cambodia.
Oral tradition indicates that bokator (or an early form thereof) was the close quarter combat system used by the ancient Cambodian armies before the founding of Angkor. A common misconception is that bokator refers to all Khmer/Cambodian martial arts, while in reality it only represents one particular style.
Bokator is characterized by hand to hand combat along with heavy use of weapons. Bokator uses a diverse array of elbow and knee strikes, shin kicks, submissions and ground fighting. Some of the weapons used in bokator include the bamboo staff, short sticks, tonfa, sword and lotus stick.
