 Searching for Traditional Khmer Martial arts 

In this eight part documentary, Antonio Graceffo, the host of the web TV show, “Martial Arts Odyssey,”  describes how his Asian martial arts adventure began in Taiwan, then lead to the Shaolin Temple, followed by Thailand’s last Muay Thai Temple, studying with Kru Bah and eventually took him to Cambodia, where he was the first westerner to study Bokator, traditional Khmer martial art. Along the way, he also learned Bradal Serey and trained in professional boxing with Cambodia’s lead international trainer, Paddy Carson. The story is also mapped out in greater detail in his books, available on amazon.com
