In the search for the forgotten martial art called “Bokator”, discover the forgotten history of the soul of Cambodia.
His search, 7 years in the making, has taken him from Cambodia’s capital city of Phnom Penh, to Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, and many villages and towns in between. Along the way, Graceffo details the people, culture, and mindset of a civilization far removed from his Brooklyn upbringing.
Experience with Graceffo the beauty of a country where few Americans live, eat with the locals where you can dine like a king for $3.00, travel the many dirt roads to people’s grass hut homes and dirt floors that welcome you with a smile. Meet the young men who train 8 hours a day, but do not have enough money for food or competition fees. Understand a country coming to terms with its’ own turbulent past and trying to carve a place for itself in the 21st century.
