A native Cambodian, Kenya Prach began serious martial arts training at a very young age. The takeover by the Khmer Rouge forced Master Prach to flee to Thailand, where he expanded his knowledge of fighting styles. By the age of 15, he had already entered in more than 150 fights. Locals gave him the nickname "The Black Stone Hands" because of the powerful punches he was able to deliver. During his 20 years of teaching in the U.S., Master Prach has had over 1,000 students, many of whom have become champions in Muay Thai, boxing, Jujitsu, and Taekwondo. He currently teaches in San Francisco. (San Francisco, California)
