Pradal Serey (Khmer: ប្រដាល់សេរី [prɑɗal seːrəj]) or Kun Khmer (Khmer: គុន ខ្មែរ [kun kʰmae]) is a martial art that originated in Cambodia. The official name of the sport is Kbach Kun Pradal Khmer ( Khmer: ក្បាច់គុន ដាវ ខ្មែរ [kʰɓac kunprɑɗal kʰmae]). In Khmer, Pradal means fight or boxing [3] and Serey means free. Therefore, pradal serey can be translated as "free fight" or "free boxing". [4] Intended to knock out opponents, force them to faint technically, or win a match by points.

Pradal Serey is best known for his kicking technique, which generates energy from hip rotation rather than kicking. Pradal Serey has four types of punches: punches, kicks, elbows and knees. Tactics are used to beat opponents. In this match, opponents compete for the dominant position for short distance elbows and knees. Cambodian boxers prefer elbows to other martial arts in the region. In pradal serey, more victories occur by elbow technique than other punches.
