Kapuso star Mikael Daez is training for one of the oldest fighting systems of Cambodia called Bokator as part of his role in a mini TV series with Khmer celebrities. Bokator, which is literally translated as pounding a lion, is a martial art that incorporates attacking movements and postures of animals into kicks, punches and elbow smashes. It is said to be similar to other Asian martial art forms like Muay Thai. Before leaving for Cambodia, Mikael trained for Muay Thai to get a head start on Bokator. “Yung foundation ng Bokator is Muay Thai (so nag-train ako for that)… kasi mahirap kung biglaan (sa Bokator training) eh,” he said.
