1. What are weight classes in Kun Khmer? βοΈ
Weight classes divide fighters into groups based on body weight. That way, a smaller fighter isnβt forced to fight someone much heavier. In striking sports like Kun Khmer, even a few kilos can change power, clinch strength, and durability. π₯
- β Fair matchups
- β Better safety
- β Clear rankings + titles
- β Easier matchmaking for promoters
Good to know: exact divisions can vary slightly by promotion/organization, but most events follow common βboxing-styleβ divisions in kilograms. This page gives the most user-friendly standard list used across many shows.

3. How to choose your weight class π―
If youβre training and want to compete later, the best weight class is usually the one where you feel:
- β strong in sparring
- β cardio stays good for all rounds
- β you can eat normally (not starving)
- β you recover fast after hard sessions
β Simple rule: pick the class closest to your normal walking weight. If you must do a big cut, youβll usually lose speed, chin, and focus β not worth it. π§
4. Weigh-in basics + safe weight cut tips π§
Most fighters reduce weight by adjusting food/water before weigh-in. But cutting too hard is risky. Keep it smart. β
β Safe cut checklist (beginner-friendly)
- π₯€ Hydrate daily (donβt βpanic cutβ the last day)
- π Eat clean carbs + lean protein (no junk bloat)
- π§ Reduce salty food before weigh-in (less water retention)
- π Sleep more (bad sleep = bad weigh-in + bad fight)
- π« Avoid extreme dehydration methods
If your goal is long-term progress (and fewer injuries), build a strong base here: Nutrition & Recovery and Injury Prevention. πͺ
