Kickboxing Cambodia Style

In Cambodia three martial arts are practiced.

The most popular isBradal Serey, which is kickboxing, with nearly the same rules and style as Thai Boxing (Muay Thai). Bradal Serey is the national sport, and the television networks broadcast professional fights weekly.

Bokator (the Thai variation is called Muay Thai Boran, see below under ‘The Difference’) is an all-encompassing ancient fighting art, includes punches, kicks, knees, elbows, grappling, ground fighting, and weapons. The practitioners fight without gloves. Their hands are wrapped with ropes or traditional krama scarves.

Japbab Boran Khmer (Khmer wrestling) is the least practiced of the Khmer martial arts. There are a handful of wrestling clubs country wide.

They meet annually for the national wrestling competition, which is a big spectator event. In Khmer wrestling, the goal is to force the opponent’s back onto the ground.

Almost gone Khmer boxing was on the verge of extinction, together with all forms of Khmer 12

culture, during Pol Pot’s Khmer Rouge regime (1975-1979). Pradal Serey had been banned and many boxers were executed which caused the art of Khmer Kickboxing to be almost wiped out from Khmer history.

Following the country’s slow recovery from the 20 years-old civil war that erupted after the Khmer Rouge were ousted by the Vietnamese in 1979, Khmer boxing slowly resurfaced in small private schools in Phnom Penh. Far from being commercial operations, such schools were created by survivors, to pass whatever was left of Pradal serey to the new generations, thus keeping the country’s heritage alive.

The Difference between Muay Thai and Bokator Muay Thai and Bokator clearly share a lot of similarities, but one primary difference is that Bokator is a system. Muay Thai Boran is not.

You study Muay Thai, and if your teacher knows Boran, he teaches you some movements in isolation. For example, he advocates

JANUARY - APRIL, 2013

kicking with the bottom or side of your foot, instead of just shin kicks. Or, he teaches you spinning back kicks or heal kicks, instead of just roundhouse. Bokator, on the other hand, is a complete system, like a traditional martial arts. There are belts, and you learn movements, forms, and techniques in order. The weapons include the double stick, double swords, long staff and scarf.

Through an exotic blend of Asian fight science and sheer vicious brutality, the Muay Thai style of kick-boxing has come to dominate the standup world of combat sport fighting. Over the last decade, the sport has grown from a littleknown Thai passion into a multi-million-dollar global industry. The sport of Thais, however, casts roots far beyond the borders of Siam.

Burma, Cambodia, Lao and Malaysia all claim heritage to native fight styles. In Cambodia, the local style is widely known as Kun Khmer, an English-friendly version of the more formal name Kbach Boran Khmer. The sport here is less mature than next door, with fewer practitioners. Exact figures are hard to come by. The number of professional fighters in Thailand is estimated to be around 70,000. In Cambodia, even at the best of times, it’s about 700.

But Khmer fighters are no less dedicated, their

fans no less passionate. Across Phnom Penh, four television stations host 9 fight cards every week, sometimes more. Female fights and professional and amateur boxing matches pepper the line-ups. The stations beam fights from the capital to homes and coffee shops around the countryside, where men-folk gather in weekly ritual.

In Phnom Penh, live fights are extremely accessible. Entrance is free, and local crowds are generally gracious and accommodating to visiting foreigners. Much like in the pits of Lumpini, the gamblers gravitate together, flashing hand signs and screaming at fighters, sometimes encouragement, sometimes abuse.

Getting There Most stadiums are on the outskirts of Phnom Penh. Ask any moto-taxi or tuk-tuk driver. He will get you there.

The Stadiums

CTN Boxing Arena – Like Bayon, CTN is a fan favourite, and tends to draw the loudest and most raucous crowds. It’s also the one stadium that consistently holds amateur boxing matches. CTN is about 4 kilometers outside Phnom Penh on the road to Battambang.

TV3 Boxing Arena – TV3 hosts international fights every other Saturday, with foreign fighters typically imported from camps in Thailand.

Many cards include one professional boxing match.

Cambodian daily life: Nothing’s to surprise when visit and see

1.

French influence is still noticeable here in Cambodia in many ways. French bread is one example. Most Asians do not eat bread but the Cambodians do, and vendors such as these are quite common although for hygiene sake I’m afraid to buy their uncovered baguettes which they sell along the dusty dirt roads.

Kampong Chnang Province in Cambodia is noted for its pottery bowls, braziers, pots, and cooking ware which are used all over the country. Most of them travel slowly by strawpacked ox carts such as this one, part of a threecart convoy making its way through Phnom Penh to southern markets.

3.

Motorcycle Loads : There really isn’t much room left on this motorcycle for anything else! This kind of load is common at 6:00 o’clock in the morning when these motorcycle guys make deliveries from the big wholesale wet markets to the small street vendors around town.

4.

You don’t see scenes like this very much on the streets of developed countries. Maybe once in a great while someone would actually run out of gas, but it is rare to see someone pouring gas into a car. Not in Cambodia. This happens all the time. Gas is smuggled in--quite openly--and then sold on the streets--quite openly.

to destroy them. Moved to the current shrine in 1990, the statues are heaped daily with offerings; the taller, more slender of the two figures is Ang chek, whose palm faces outward showing a Sanskrit inscription of protection. A third statue, of another sister, Preah Ang Chom, was found in 1995, though this is not on public view.

At the northern end of the walkway, opposite the Grand Hotel d’Angkor, are the formal Royal Gardens, one of the most restful spots in town, tended by the hotel. On the south side of the gardens, a shrine to the sister deities, Preah Ang Chek and Preah Ang Chorm, houses figurines of the two - thought to have been Angorian princesses - in brass and

bronze, originally housed in the Gallery of a Thousand Buddha’s at Angkor Wat. The statues have had a chequered history, having been hidden from the eyes of invaders and treasure hunters by successive generations of monks, who moved them repeatedly to stop their whereabouts becoming known. Eventually, the statues were abandoned south of Siem Reap after the Khmer Rouge tried JANUARY - APRIL, 2013

In the same location of Ang Chek, Ang Chom, Just to the west, surrounded by a traffic circle and marked by a huge tree in the middle of the road, is a shrine to Ya Tep, a local spirit said to bring protection and luck to the Siem Reap area.

The offerings left at the shrine are sometimes quite extravagant for local purses - it is common to find whole chickens or other fowl left here.

Song Saa Island Ocean of Life Happy 2013 everyone

A few days ago I stumbled across a fact, of which I had been previously unaware. Apparently, around 50 percent of our planet’s oxygen is derived from phytoplankton (actually, fact checking further, some scientists suggest the figure may be as high as 85 percent).

Phytoplankton are microscopic organisms that inhabit the sunlit layers of the world’s oceans and fresh water. Their capacity to convert sunlight into energy, which can be used by other creatures, in short by eating the phytoplankton, put them at the heart of the marine ecosystem. The fact that oxygen is a by-product

of this conversion process makes these little creatures doubly important, putting them squarely in the centre of our lives as well!

This and other facts can be found in Callum Robert’s recent book Ocean of Life: How Our Seas Are Changing. By way of background, Ocean of Life sets out to explain the importance of marine systems to life on the planet, before breaking down some of the key threats to them and by association, remember the phytoplankton, our health and well-being. In the last part of the book, meanwhile, Roberts explores some of the options for reversing these challenges.

As you might anticipate, the book makes for some sober reading, but what I also like about it and why I recommend it here, is that Roberts offers solutions to the

20

JANUARY - APRIL, 2013

problems he identifies. One of these, the establishment of marine protected areas, is one that Song Saa has been a pioneering in Cambodia since 2006.

You can read more about this particular effort in the story that follows, while in our Spot of the Month you can learn about a particular coral reef near Song Saa, which illustrates well the enormous value of these systems to ocean life.

Setting the Example - Marine Protection Around Song Saa Marine ecosystems are of vital importance to local communities in both the developed and developing world. Globally, less than one percent of the world’s oceans are under official protection, yet 55 percent of the planet’s people are directly reliant on the sea for their sustenance. The rest of us also benefit from the numerous ecosystem services that our oceans provide, including their roles as carbon sinks and drivers of the globe’s weather.

The economic reliance on the sea around Song Saa is understandably high, with nearly all villagers being dependent on it for their well-being and livelihood. This is unsurprising, given their island location, but what is surprising is the lack of formal protection that exists to manage and protect their local waters. This is one reason that the work of the Song Saa Conservation and Community team, in developing and promoting marine protected areas, is so important.

By way of background, over the last two years the team has been working with the local fisheries committee, government authori-

ties and local fishers to establish the Song Saa Coral Reef and Biodiversity Conservation Area.

This zone will work in conjunction with the already established Song Saa Marine Protected Area to further enhance the sustainable management of the waters around Song Saa. It has taken many long hours by the team to get to this point.

However, with the formal signing of the new conservation zone due in the coming weeks, Song Saa is confident that it has developed a proposal that will be effective and widely supported. No small undertaking in a place where marine conservation designations are a novel concept.

As for the proposed conservation area itself, the expanded zone will cover the entire bay between Song Saa Private Island and Koh Rong, and extend further north and south of these two locations.

This expanded tract will build on the existing Song Saa marine protected area, originally established in 2006, and will cover additional portions of coral reef and deeper water locations. Such zones are crucial in the lives of numerous fish species that are unique and special to the Koh Rong archipelJANUARY - APRIL, 2013

ago, including pick-handle barracuda, giant clams, sea horses and parrotfish.

The new protected area is also anticipated to dovetail with the Cambodia government’s intentions to establish a much larger conservation sphere, covering a broad portion of the Koh Rong archipelago. We at Song Saa anticipate that our advanced work in promoting marine conservation will inspire others to engage and embrace this initiative and its efforts to promote the sustainable use of the archipelago’s marine resources.

Spot of the Month – Five Mile Beach Reef Being fortunate to swim in a new location is always a pleasure for a diver, especially when that site 22

turns out to be a spectacular and vibrant coral reef.

Recently I had just such an experience when, with the arrival of Song Saa’s new dive instructor, Jelena, we decided that it was time to go out and hunt for some

half-way down the fabulous Five Mile beach, which lies on the eastern side of the large island of Koh Rong, about 30 minutes from Song Saa. The reef sits in nine metres of water, which ensures that its corals have access to all the sunlight they require.

Further, because the surrounding waters are extremely clear, a diver can fully appreciate the stunning colours of the resident corals and fish.

new dive sites around the local islands.

On our first dive we were fortunate to observe a wide variety of species, from shy blue-spotted stingrays to porcupine fish. We were also visited by a large array of colourful reef fish, which encircled us as we swam through their schools.

The first location we explored was a beautiful coral reef about

On this dive we also came across a unique reef feature - a massive

JANUARY - APRIL, 2013

coral outcrop - which marine biologists commonly refer to as a ‘bombie’. In our case the reef outcrop was found to be about four-square meters in size, and consisting of a single coral colony.

Given the slow rate of growth for coral species this colony was probably several milieus old. And with its ability to produce large volumes of larva - corals develop from polyps that are released into the ocean by mature members of the species - this colony was likely the main source of juveniles for many of the surrounding reefs. In addition to the bombie colony we also observed large beds of whip corals and clusters of giant barrel sponges at the dive site.

sity hotspots’. To put this in layterms, one can think of a flat section of sandy ocean as a simple house, supporting two to three inhabitants; a coral reef, in contrast, is an invariable marine skyscraper, supporting thousands of different residents. This is why the protection of such systems is of vital importance to the health of our planet’s oceans.

underwater, exploring such an amazing environment. Unsurprising, therefore, it was with some regret that after an hour we had to contemplate our return to the ocean surface and our next endeavour for the day.

As always it was a joy and a privilege to be able to spend time

It is this variety that gives coral reefs their status as ‘biodiver-

Single-entry visa for Thailand, Cambodia

Citizens from 35 nations qualify; seen paving the way for single Asean visa From today( 27/12/2012), tourists from 35 countries need only apply for one visa to visit both Thailand and Cambodia. This is part of Acmecs Single Visa - the first step toward an Asean version of the European Union’s Schengen Visa scheme.

Visitors who want to visit both countries can apply for a visa at either country’s embassy.

The Acmecs Single Visa should boost tourism in both countries as well as fulfil Thailand’s objective to become a regional hub for tourism, said Foreign Minister Surapong Towichukchaikul, who jointly chaired a joint commis24

sion on bilateral cooperation with his Cambodian counterpart Hor Namhong yesterday.

Acmecs stands for the Ayeyawady-Chao Phraya-Mekong Economic Cooperation Strategy, which groups Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam. All Acmecs members are part of Asean, and the Acmecs Single Visa is expected to pave the way for an Asean Common Visa.

The original idea to have a Schengen-style tourist visa was introduced at a meeting in

JANUARY - APRIL, 2013

Bagan, Myanmar in 2003 between leaders of Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Thailand. At the meeting they launched the “four countries-one destination” scheme, which Vietnam joined later. Foreign ministers of Acmecs then agreed at a 2005 meeting in Siem Reap that Thailand and Cambodia would try to implement the single-visa strategy first.

“If the initial project is successful, then the remaining Acmecs members will join the scheme,” Surapong told the press.

Hor Namhong said the two nations would most certainly benefit from the single-visa scheme as it would make travel between the two countries more convenient.

As for concern that traffickers might exploit the scheme, both countries have a “pre-clearance” system.

For instance, if a visitor applies for a visa at a Thai embassy, the documents will be forwarded to its Cambodian counterpart for approval, which will have the authority to reject the application, and vice versa. Also, visa fees for both countries will have to be paid.

For instance, the Thai embassy will charge Bt1,000 for entry into Thailand and the tour-

JANUARY - APRIL, 2013

25

ist will have to pay the Cambodian visa fee upon arrival in that country and vice versa.

As per details provided by the Thai Foreign Ministry, neither country will issue a “multiple-entry� visa.

Up to 21 million people have visited Thailand in 2012, while Cambodia has had 2.3 million visitors in the first eight months of 2012.

Piyamarn Tejapaiboon, president of the Tourism Council of Thailand, said the scheme will be slightly more beneficial for Cambodia, as tourists visiting Thailand will be able to extend their stay.

26

JANUARY - APRIL, 2013

Sisdivachr Cheewarattanaporn, president of the Association of Thai Travel Agents, added that the scheme should help boost tourism in Thailand because travel agents will now be able to offer Cambodia as an additional destination.

Apart from the single visa, the two ministers also discussed several cooperation strategies at the meeting yesterday, including joint efforts in the security, economic, social and cultural spheres. They also agreed to set up a permanent border checkpoint between Ban Nong Aian in Sa Kaew province and Stung Bot in Cambodia’s Banteay Meanchey province, as well as a temporary checkpoint at Sa Kaew’s Ban Non Mak Moon and Banteay Meanchey’s Ban Pray Chan.

Thailand will also do a feasibility study on upgrading a road linking the Stung Bot checkpoint to Cambodia’s Highway No 5 to Phnom Penh. The State Railway of Thailand will also provide assistance in building a railway bridge connecting Sa Kaew’s Kongluek village with Poi Pet in Cambodia to facilitate trade and tourism.

So far, the two countries’ annual bilateral trade is worth about US$2 billion (Bt61 billion), Hor Namhong said. “Both countries have agreed to increase some 30 per cent of trade annually, but I expect more,” he said.
