Phnom Penh - Cambodia's lesser known martial art, Yuthakun Khorm, is experiencing a recent boost. For Narak Neakak, a master of the ancient Khmer martial art Yuthakun Khorm, the session is not simply an exercise – it's an essential part of survival. While the origins of the martial art are disputed, one thing is clear: the seldom-discussed form is meant for real fighting. According to You Sinet, the founder and chairman of the Yuthakun Khorm Federation, the martial art is one of the three components that made up Moha Yuthakun Khorm, or the Art of War. Currently, approximately 2,000 people are learning the martial art nationwide.
