Kbach kun boran (Khmer: ក្បាច់គុនបូរាណ, meaning 'ancient martial arts') is a martial art from Cambodia. It is a historical martial arts recreation of the weapon-based combat methods used by the warriors of Angkor, based on a combination of existing Cambodian fighting styles and close study of the bas-reliefs around the country's ancient ruins. Kbach kun boran makes use of three main weapons. These are the dao (curved sword), the dambong veng (longstaff) and the dambong bogato (twin sticks). The system also incorporates pradal serey as its unarmed component.
