Voice of America (VOA) journalist Genia Dulot recently visited Oum Ry at his historic Cambodian kickboxing gym in Long Beach. Despite being 79 years old, Oum Ry continues to train fighters, having produced over 15 champion kickboxers, with no signs of stopping anytime soon. Alongside his daughter Zochada Tat, he is proud to pass on the tradition of Pradal Serey and embrace his Cambodian lineage.

Dulot references Oum Ry’s memoir, I Am Oum Ry: A Champion Kickboxer’s Story of Surviving the Cambodian Genocide and Discovering Peace, encouraging viewers to learn more about Oum Ry’s incredible story of resilience and survival.
