KOMBAT Global Launches Kun Khmer Worldwide, Reaching 124 Countries with Historic Brazil Debut

Kombat Global is proud to announce that the first Kombat Kun Khmer event is scheduled to take place on June 5, 2026, in Sao Paulo, Brazil, as part of the Kombat Challenge Series.

This landmark event marks the official debut of Kun Khmer, Cambodia's national martial art, on a global professional platform under Kombat Global.

As part of its continued expansion across multiple combat sports disciplines, Kombat Global has officially added Kombat Kun Khmer as an official competition platform within its international event structure.

Widely regarded as one of the oldest striking arts in the world, Kun Khmer is often referred to as the Father of Muay Thai. In recognition of its historical and cultural significance, Kombat Global has taken a leading role in elevating and promoting Kun Khmer on the global stage.

In February 2026, an official Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was signed between General Khov Chhay, President of the Kun Khmer Federation, and President Rick W. Shin of Kombat Global, establishing a strategic partnership to develop, promote, and expand Kun Khmer through international professional events and global media platforms.

Following this announcement, all Muay Thai fighters worldwide are officially invited to compete in Kombat Kun Khmer Championships under Kun Khmer rules and regulations.

Rick W. Shin stated: "Kombat Global is honored to introduce Cambodia's Kun Khmer to our professional platform for the very first time. This is more than just adding another discipline — it is about recognizing and respecting the deep history and cultural significance of one of the world's oldest martial arts."
