THE LBOKATOR FRAUD :
A GEO-HISTORICAL ANALYSIS OF TWO RELATED FREE-BOXING CULTURES
One undeniable fact before the world community is that Thailand and Cambodia each has Kickboxing too similar in style for good.
Then, out of nowhere emerged L Bokator (2003), a ploy that preceded a claim that it was the oldest, ancient style of boxing of Southeast Asia.
The chart posted here today is designed to solve the critical question of :
Which people had their free-boxing first, Thai or Khmer ?
From facts as exhibited in the chart, the conclusions found are as follows –
1) Both people has had a long martial tradition since they were in China over 2,000 years ago.
2) The ancient Thai (Bo) had the first martial warrior in Zhu Lang, who founded Yelang Kingdom in BC 5th century. Forebears of the Khmen (Yi) were still a nomadic people.
3) Throughout the time from the Ai-Lao wars (before 69 AD) and the endless conflicts in Yunnan, the ancient Tai had evolved into a race of superior martial artists.
4) First fabulous martial warrior of Muang Mao, Chao U-ding, redeemed the Elephant-mounting County, in 2nd century AD. He headed a huge state of many states and tribal groups in Yunnan.
5) The Khmer began with the founding of Funan, then still a rather primitive reptilian people, in 80 AD. The people then progressed to build up a phenomenal empire at Angkor, based on a robust slave order.
6) Angkor finally collapsed in mid-15th century, owing to internal faith disintegration and exterior assaults by the Viet and Siamese forces.
7) Since that time, martial traditions of the Khmer were all lost, over some five centuries, in which time the nation had suffered genocidal trauma, caused by poor administration and foreign dominance.
😎 A brief period of revival occurred in the reign of King Sihanouk, upon Cambodia being give independence by the French. Free boxing revived from the late 50s, until 1975, but the media reports (in author's possession) show the standard of the fighters were only slightly above amateurism.
9) Thailand’s fight heritage, however, has arisen unchecked, despite the traumatic invasions by Myanmar in 16th and 18th century. Thai soldiers have proved, being freedom fighters, far superior to the long-suppressed slave forces of the Angkor army.
10) There was no foundation whatsoever to the fabricated fighting art Lbokator, a style re-assembled by an ex- Hapkido instructor (returned from political exile in the U.S. during the Vietnamese invasion, 1979).
11) The Thai had martial traditions long before the Khmer, by about five hundred years. That property has survived to this day in the noble heritage of Muaythai.
12) It remained highly probable that during the Thai occupation of Wen Shan (Lanxang), in the 8th century, free-style boxing became a pastime. Chinese annals recorded the people, especially the White Elephant tribe (Chang Khao), were “ Savage by custom, brave in combat” – a lively depiction of the Thai fighter to this day.
