Poorly written and confusing article about a non-notable martial art. Article starts out talking about a historical martial art and then switches to the discussing the modern form of this art, which apparently is a family style. Either way there's not enough significant independent coverage to show this meets WP:GNG or WP:MANOTE. There's also no evidence the modern version has anything to do with the historical one.Mdtemp (talk) 15:33, 11 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The article is very confusing and there is no indication what the connection is with the convoluted history section with the titled modern art discussed latter on. The history section is already covered in Bokator where it belongs and there also seems to be some duplication with Kbach kun boran. The unique portion does not demonstrate notability.Peter Rehse (talk) 16:41, 11 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I showered improvement tags on this early in its life hoping against hope that there was something notable or at least noteworthy there. A month has passed and nothing of any substance has been added. I agree with the nominator - this fails WP:GNG and it seems most unlikely that better sources will appear. I couldn't find any.

Delete My search didn't find the significant independent coverage I believe is needed to meet WP:GNG. To see if the modern version is notable, I also checked for coverage of the current master of the art. I found no significant independent coverage of him, either--just things like Facebook and youtube. The modern version may exist, but it doesn't meet WP:GNG or WP:MANOTE.
