Episode Overview
Originating from the dense jungles of Southeast Asia, Pradal Serey is a powerful striking discipline known for its bone-crunching kicks and punches. This ancient martial art, linked to the enigmatic Angkor Empire, is often considered a precursor to modern Muay Thai, yet it remains relatively unknown beyond Cambodia. Hosts Jason Chambers and Bill Duff dive deep into the world of Pradal Serey, honing their skills in this fierce combat style. Their adventure includes racing water buffalo in a traditional village festival and discovering the lethal techniques of Khmer warriors, ultimately leading them to face off against a four-time Pradal Serey champion in the ring.
