During this dance, each fighter tries to show the other that he is best. Then the fight begins. In Khmer boxing, the fighter can kick with their feet and each other with their elbows and knees. Of course, they hit with their hand too. Each round is 5minutes long. Then the boxers have a two minute rest. Most boxers can fight only fine rounds because this kind of fighting is very difficult.
