Message from Founder
To all Kun khmer players, coaches, referees, officials and followers in India
Dear Friends!
It is my pleasure indeed to address you on behalf of the Association of Kun Khmer Federation – India, the National sport organization promoting the sport called Kun Khmer across India.
Kun Khmer, a Cambodian martial art, has roots that stretch back to the ancient Khmer Empire, which flourished between the 9th and 15th centuries. It started in Cambodia but today it is a truly international sport with federations in more than 60 countries in Africa, Asia, Europe, Oceania and Pan America.
Kun Khmer was officially included in 32nd (SEA) Games in 2023 under Olympic Council of Asia.
Our aim is to make Kun Khmer as popular as possible, to share its ancient values and philosophy with people in India most importantly with growing generation.
And one to get is recognized by School games , university games , Khelo India and MYAS.

These core principles define who we are, how we train, and what we stand for — shaping not just better fighters, but stronger individuals.
