The name for this martial art is correctly Lbokkatao (ល្បុក្កតោ) but also romanised in various styles including Lbokator. Bokator is probably just an abbreviated colloquial pronunciation and it is the most common romanisation which was popularised by Antonio Graceffo by my guess. -- Cantharellus 01:21, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
It uses Indic text. ATTFFX ( talk) 06:46, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
It's a tricky question - but the rather ugly "Bokator" seems to be the most common transliteration in use (19,800 Ghits). Boxkator, which is more correct, gets only 787 ghits and poor old Labokator has 170 ghits. This probably shows that Bokator is the way to go. Incidentally the English language press in Cambodia generally use "Bokator" as well. Paxse ( talk) 16:52, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
Clarification... Cambodians seem to know it as Bokatol thats when they have heard of it. Boxkator is incorrect its merely the name of the Bokator school run by Kim Sean. I don't know about it being known as L'Bokatol but you might be right. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Swingkid ( talk • contribs) 00:40, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
"Unlike kickboxing, which is a combat sport, bokator was designed to be used on the battlefield."
What's the difference?
There should either be a link to a "combat sport" page or a better explanation of the difference.
Justpale ( talk) 11:49, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
Good point. Usual distinction would be that battlefield arts would not have actual "rules" (except for safe practice conventions),while combat sports have clearly defined rules which make some techniques illegal (not just avoided.) HerbM ( talk) 22:37, 13 June 2012 (UTC)
I just can't grasp the fact that most of these references are from news articles and blogs. And guess where authors such as Antonio Graceffo and other writers get their information from? The practictioners themselves. Who is to say these practitioners know the history of the art better than they themselves? They are not necessarily scholars. There are those that are arrogant and those that tell tall tales as well. If Graceffo is just regurgitating what he observes from the practitioners, then where has the standard of knowlege gone? Are there any academic studies of this martial art? I would really like to discourage the use of news articles as sources for citing. -- Dara ( talk) 18:54, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

Although there is a note at the bottom of the article stating his name "Saen" is often misspelled as "Sean", the latter, presumably incorrect spelling is used almost universally elsewhere in the article.

There is a big mistake. Bokator is not the khmer martial art. The name come from a legend who have nothing to see with Martial art. It had been create by Seam. The Martial art have never been lost in Cambodia as lot master trained Yutakhun Khom and Kback Khun Khmer. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Selapak.cambodia ( talk • contribs) 11:00, 30 July 2013 (UTC)

Assuming that there really was a big cat which attacked a village in what is now the Indochinese country of Cambodia, before being killed in that style, are you sure that this was an Asiatic lion, rather than an Indochinese leopard or tiger? The lion is not known to have existed east of South Asia, unlike the leopard or tiger. [1]

Descendant arts-Bokator has nothing to do with Muay Thai. It's a boxing game that copied the rules of Muay Thai and gave it a new name. Please help remove the word Muay Thai from Bokator. Pnp070614 ( talk) 19:46, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
Hi Turaids, I was wondering if mentioning the following sentence According to another legend, bokator was created by a Khmer king in the 12th century [1] would be pertinent as the source seems a bit flawed. The article states first that Bokator is said to be over a thousand years old but then proceed to say that it originate in the 12th century, which would make it less than a thousand year. It then states that the martial art was crafted by Angkorian armies to help the Khmer Empire keep its grip on the region from the 9th to 15th centuries. which now implies that it existed from the 9th century. Thank you in advance! Pierrevang3 ( talk) 17:16, 4 March 2024 (UTC)

Today, Kbach Kun Khmer has been called in different name in different region and master but most of them called it "Kun Lbokator".
There's evidence to suggest that a style akin to kickboxing was practiced by the Khmers during the Angkor era. Given the dominance of the Angkor kingdom over most parts of this region during that period, it's widely believed that Muay's origins can be traced back to the early Khmer people.
Ask a European about Asian kick boxing, he for sure will answer: "yes, Thai boxing!". Ask Thai people about kick boxing, you most likely get the answer: "Of course, it's Muay Thai, we invented it, and we are the best!". But Laos's people will probably explain, that "Muay is a Southeast Asian traditional martial arts with its roots in Cambodia, the Thai people call it Muay Thai, and here in Laos the name is Muay Lao."
Adjarn Ngern, the head coach of the Lao National Muay Lao Team, told me that Muay Lao is a much smaller sport in Lao than is Muay Thai in Thailand. Professional fights are only held in the National Stadium twice per month. There are only a handful of registered professional fighters in the whole country. "How is Muay Lao different than Muay Thai?" I asked. "It's exactly the same." Said the Adjarn. "Cambodians are angry about the name Muay Thai. They feel they invented kickboxing and it should be called by the Cambodian name, Bradal Serey, not Muay Thai. What do you think of that?" Without a second's hesitation he answered, "Muay Thai was invented in Cambodia, but Thailand has the money and got famous."
Mr. Saysamone's controversial remarks were made in March when he criticized the International Federation of Muay Thai Associations (IFMA) stating that Muay Thai was a copy of Kun Khmer while many believe that the kickboxing martial art originated from Thailand.
All the reliable source that mention that Bokator is origination of Muay Thai is point disputed. Many of which not even mention the concrete evidence for this matter. Do not insert your statement if there's no prove. Gandtha ( talk) 03:13, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
Should the Bokator article mention "The martial art is believed to be the precursor of all forms of kickboxing present in the former provinces of the Khmer empire, namely Kun Khmer in Cambodia, Muay Lao in Laos and Muay Thai in Thailand"? The discussion in the talk page with
Gandtha seems to be going nowhere and the aggressivity(
[12]) is increasing, while the reverts keep on going. Previous consensus on the matter has been reached on the talk page of Muay Thai
[13], it was decided not to include contentious journalistic sources but only academic sources. For context regarding the reference (book) cited in the talk page, Bokator led to Muay Korat which led to Muay Boran which itself led to Muay Thai.

In khmer history books, its mentioned that the reformer was an avid fan and practioner of bokator/khmer boxing, and even hosted and competed in these matches himself during his stay at battambang in 1870 (At that time known as phra tabong when it was controlled by siam) though most of the population as described by siam was described as "Stubbonly khmer", they do mention that the khmers of Phra tabong (battambang) liked boxing and martial arts, including prince Ang sar (sisowath)
even after he retook battambang from thai hands, sisowath still was an avid boxing fan, and hosted events in battambang and the capital 113.130.126.124 ( talk) 02:19, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
