Private Kun Khmer Lessons in Siem Reap
Private Kun Khmer lessons at our gym in Siem Reap cost $20 per class and put you one-on-one with either Kon Phanet or Ramon — coaches with a combined 50+ professional fights in Cambodia. It's the fastest way to learn correctly, and the option most visitors don't realize is available until they ask, since our group class is the more visible default. It's worth asking about regardless of your experience level, whether you're a total beginner or someone who already trains elsewhere and wants targeted coaching while you're passing through Siem Reap.
What a Private Lesson Actually Gets You
A private class is built entirely around you: your pace, your goals, and constant hands-on correction rather than instruction split across a full group. If your stance is slightly off or your elbow strikes aren't landing cleanly, a coach catches it on the next rep instead of the next class, or never at all in a busier group setting. All gear — gloves, wraps, pads — is provided, and training is barefoot on mats, the same as the group sessions. Because the whole hour belongs to you, a coach can slow down on exactly the piece you're struggling with, or speed up past the parts you've already got, in a way that's simply not possible when attention is shared across a room. It also means the session content genuinely adapts to you in real time — if you arrive wanting to work on defense, or specifically on elbow technique, or just conditioning, the class can be shaped around that rather than following a fixed group lesson plan.
Who Private Lessons Are Actually For
- Beginners who want to learn the fundamentals before stepping into a group class, rather than feeling behind on day one
- Travelers with only a day or two in Siem Reap who want to make the most of limited time with focused coaching
- Anyone training toward a specific goal — a fight camp, a fitness milestone, or simply faster technical progress
- Shy or self-conscious first-timers who'd rather not learn a new physical skill in front of a group
- Experienced fighters who want targeted correction on a specific technique rather than general class drilling

How to Book, and Combining Private With Group Training
Message us on WhatsApp, Telegram, or call +855 96 228 8585 with a rough idea of when you'd like to train. Because private lessons are arranged directly around a coach's availability rather than a fixed public slot, a little notice — even a few hours — makes it easier to lock in Phanet or Ramon specifically if you have a preference. Plenty of students do both private and group training: a private session or two to build fundamentals and confidence, then joining the daily 5:00 PM group class once the basics feel natural. There's no rule against mixing a monthly pass with private add-ons — it's a common way to get both structured 1-on-1 correction and the energy of training alongside other people, and switching between the two week to week is completely normal. If you're not sure which setup makes sense for your trip, tell us your goals and how many days you have and we'll suggest a mix rather than leaving you to guess.

FAQ
How much does a private Kun Khmer lesson cost?
$20 per class, one-on-one with Kon Phanet or Ramon, with all gear provided and nothing extra to arrange yourself.
Do I need any experience for a private lesson?
No — private lessons work well for complete beginners precisely because the coach can build from wherever you're starting, without needing to match a group's pace.
Can I choose which coach I train with?
You can request Phanet or Ramon specifically when you message us; we'll confirm based on availability and let you know if a swap is needed.
How far ahead should I book a private session?
A few hours' notice is usually enough, but earlier is better if you want a specific coach or time slot, especially during busier travel seasons.
