Summary Kill Arman is a 10-episode martial arts travel show that tells the story of Arman Alizad, an average man in his mid 30s who is out-of-shape and loves his cosy lifestyle. Arman has no previous martial arts experience, but now has only six months to train before facing the ultimate challenge: battling 10 warriors of 10 different martial arts in 10 different countries around the world - with only his martial arts skills to protect him!The series goes behind the training and techniques of real martial arts fighting. The historical, cultural, spiritual and philosophical backgrounds of different martial arts are all brought into the spotlight through the people and cultures that live and breathe them everyday.Thirty years ago, the Cambodian genocide saw almost all of the masters of the ancient combat art of Bokator murdered. Only five masters survived the Killing Fields, among them San Kim Sean, the last remaining grandmaster of Bokator.Arman lives and trains in Kim Sean's school, located in the slums of Phnom Penh, and explores the terrors and effects of the genocide just three decades earlier. He then travels across the jungles of Cambodia to visit the ancient Bokator temples of Angkor, finally facing San Kim Sean's top fighter in his own personal showdown.
