Remindingly, in the history of the great Khmer Empire Kun Khmer is part of Kun L'Bokator. The story of Kun Khmer starts with the Khmer Empire. The Khmer Empire was founded in 802 A.D. at a time when many modern Southeast Asian countries didn't exist yet. Martial arts were used by the military of the Khmer Empire. Kun Khmer has its root from the hand-to-hand combat use by the military of the Khmer Empire. In the Angkor era, both armed and unarmed martial arts were practiced by the Khmers. Evidence shows that a style resembling Kun Khmer existed in the 9th century, which may be one of the reasons why the Khmer Empire was such a military powerhouse in Southeast Asia. The Khmer Empire used an early form of Kun Khmer along with various weapons and war elephants to wage war against their main enemy, the principalities of Champa.
At this time, the Khmer Empire dominated and controlled most of what is now Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, and parts of Vietnam. As a result, Cambodia has influenced much of Thai and Lao culture. This leads the Khmer to assert all Southeast Asian forms of boxing started with the early Mon-Khmer people. The basis of this statement is oral stories from their ancestors supplemented with the bas-reliefs/stone carving in the ancient temples of the Bayon, Banteay Chhmar and other Angkor temples that predate the existence of neighboring nations. Much of the writing on ancient Khmer art has been destroyed by the invading Thai armies when the Siamese sacked and looted Angkor.
Get back to the story, after won the champion belt, Chhoeun Lwei was brought around the crowd in the stadium by the stadium owner. Also he got much support from Samdach Techo Hun Sen the former prime minister of Cambodia and other excellencies.
