What’s On Show
18:00, Cambodia Interclub 8, The Factory
This will be the big one this weekend. Although, this silly writer is deciding to get his head kicked in as part of it so I may be somewhat biased. Anyway, it will be a great night full of some of the best amateur fighters in Cambodia (and me) and someone is even coming in all the way from Vietnam. More importantly though, the proceeds of the night will go towards building and repairing gyms to help impoverished communities in rural Cambodia help rebuild Kun Khmer throughout Cambodia. So support culture and martial arts in Cambodia, watch this large Scotsman get kicked in the head and have a great night.
