The Four Weapons

The pillars of the Kun Khmer striking system

👊

Fists

កណ្ដាប់ដៃ (Kar)

The lead weapon — jabs, crosses, hooks, uppercuts and overhands form the foundation of all striking combinations.

6 techniques

💥

Elbows

កែង (Koun)

The blade of the body — horizontal slashes, upward cuts, spinning strikes and devastating downward chops at close range.

7 techniques

🦵

Knees

ជង្គង់ (Chong)

The spear of the clinch — straight thrusts, diagonal drives, flying knees and body-crushing impacts from the inside.

5 techniques

🦶

Kicks

ជើង (Keng)

The cannon — roundhouses, teeps, spinning kicks, sweeps and axe kicks deliver fight-ending power from every range.

The Three Ranges of Kun Khmer

Distance dictates the weapon
Three concentric range zones between two fightersLONG — KicksMID — PunchesCLOSE — Elbows & KneesTeep · Roundhouse · Push kickJab · Cross · HookSok · Knee · ClinchCloseMidLong
Each range favors specific weapons. A complete fighter moves fluidly between all three, closing to elbows or retreating to kicking range at will.

Legal & Illegal Target Zones

Where you can — and cannot — strike

Kun Khmer rules permit strikes to the head, body, and legs. Strikes to the groin, spine, or back of the head are fouls and will result in point deductions or disqualification.
