This goes quite a bit deeper than misses the eyeCEOCambodiaNews wrote: ↑Sat Apr 08, 2023 1:57 pm Thiago Teixeira Kun Khmer
Cambodia News (Thailand): Muay Thai fans have strongly criticized the Brazilian for supporting Khmer martial arts while large Muay Thai words were tattooed on his back. Fans have asked him to remove the tattoo. In addition, Thais say that Thiago Teciara also used to train in Muay Thai in Thailand and used to take photos with Bu Khao, but said that "Muay Thai" originated from "Khmer Martial Arts".
It should be noted that this Brazilian boxer with a loving heart for Cambodia has announced that he will be representing Cambodia and promote Khmer martial arts on the international stage. Recently, Thiago Teciara, 30, had the opportunity to travel abroad, winning and waving the Cambodian flag on the international stage.
Thiago has been publicly feuding with WMO for a while as he was consistently being paid less than contracted for stadium fights and WMO sided with the (Thai OFC) promoter
This is basically a protest by him against the WMO more than any support of Cambodia, per se

Seven countries sign up for Kun Khmer competition
Seven countries have already registered to compete in the martial art Kun Khmer which was included for the first time in this year’s SEA Games.
The seven countries, which are Cambodia, Laos, the Philipines, Malaysia, Indonesia, Myanmar, and Vietnam, have indicated their intention to compete in Kun Khmer, according to Tem Moeun, president of the Kun Khmer Federation (KHF).
Moeun said Cambodia, the host nation and the owner of Kun Khmer, will send 19 contestants including seven female and 11 male contestants. He said the Cambodian team is well-prepared for the games and is aiming high to get medals.
He said the martial artists have a tight training schedule to improve their technical abilities and to keep them fit as the SEA Games are just around the corner. He said the players have two training sessions in a day and other special additional training is included as well.
The sports will compete in 19 different weight classes starting from the 45kg weight class to the 81kg weight class. But the official draw has not been made yet, he said.
...
Cambodia SEA Games Organising Committee (CAMSOC) chose 37 sports and three traditional ones including Kun Khmer, Bokator, and chess.
This is a first for Cambodia’s traditional martial art Kun Khmer to be featured in a big sports tournament. The Kun Khmer competition will start from May 6 to 11 at the Morodok Techo stadium.
