Neak Ta Pradal Serey is the first traditional Khmer Boran martial arts school in Canada that 
specializes in the art of Pradal Serey, which translates to "freedom fight or freestyle fighting". Pradal Serey is a style of Kickboxing practiced in Cambodia that pre-dates the more commonly known style of Muay Thai. This is a rare opportunity to learn and discover for yourself the secrets of Khmer Boran Neak Ta Pradal Serey.

The head Kru (teacher), Sam Lok, was born in Serey Sophon, Cambodia and after fleeing the killing fields he ended up in Canada. He is very well versed in the martial art and brings a wealth of knowledge, technique, spirituality and history. He was taught in the 80's by grandmasters Kru Veasna Choom, Kru Chay Cheas, and Kru Nimith Nhean who took him in and taught him privately an older version of Pradal Serey called Neak Ta Pradal Serey. They taught him traditional Khmer fighting art with kicks, knees, elbows, clinch grappling, and wrestling which was banned by the French when they colonized Cambodia. 


He is recognized by other Khmer martial arts schools in Cambodia, US, Canada, France, and Australia as a Kru with authentic Khmer boran style fighting with grappling and wrestling. He's been asked to travel to other cities to teach to preserve the dying art form. 

Sam Lok offers rare moves in traditional Khmer Boran Pradal Serey, that not many people know of.  Be amazed at the  knowledge that he teaches.
