Khmer boxing
Yesterday I was up at The Goodwill School to take some photos/videos of the Khmer boxing class. Khmer boxing is one of the most popular sports in Cambodia and origins from the early Angkor period.
Pov, who is working at The Small Hotel, is instructing the children and holding different exercises on the school backyard. Pov has practiced Khmer boxing since his early days. The exercises aim to teach the basics of Khmer boxing as well as increase the discipline of the participants. Trust me, it's not always easy to have the children here standing in lines and waiting for their turn but in this class they are successfully taught to wait for their turn and to be patient.
Of course I had to try some boxing against Pov but it seemed I missed the first lesson: keep the guard up and protect your face!
Enjoy a few pictures from the class:
I will upload a few videos in the upcoming days as well.
