Hand-to-Hand: Dornálaíocht
 * The Irish are well known for their bare-knuckle boxing style. Dornálaíocht's stance is often reflected in Irish caricatures such as that of the Notre Dame Leprechaun. The lead hand stays at a greater distance from the body than done in modern boxing. The lead arm's shoulder stays tight against the jaw while the other arm is tucked tightly to the body, using its fist to guard the jaw. This is due to the bare-knuckle nature of the style. The lead hand is used to block the incoming attack while side stepping and back stepping to create an angle or swaying the torso away from or towards the opponent. The Irish often utilize wrestling grapple techniques in combination with Dornálaíocht.

Khymer Rouge
The USA invaded Cambodia between 29 April – 22 July 1970 to target the Ho Chi Minh trail of the Viet Cong. Thousands of Cambodian citizens were killed or fled to the cities, making the Khmer Republic (who supported the USA) extremely unpopular and The Khmer Rouge were seen as a government that could replace the Khmer Republic; which did very little to compensate Cambodians for allowing the illegal US invasion. They forced the Cambodian people into rural areas and commited genocide against people that represented the "old society," such as intellectuals, monks, merchants, and minorities.
