My father has always been my greatest source of inspiration but at the same time he has remained an enigma to me my whole life. When the world went into Covid lockdown I took it as an opportunity to really sit down and interview my father about his life and share his incredible story with the world.

I am happy to report that in November 2022 Dopplehouse Press will release the book “I Am Oum Ry”.

This book is a fascinating read for all martial arts lovers, for people interested in the tragic details of the Cambodian genocide and for a unique “Coming To America” story.

“The story of the legendary martial arts fighter and kickboxer Oum Ry called Cambodia’s Muhammad Ali is by turns pulse-pounding disturbing and powerful. His is an astonishing life told beautifully
by his daughter Zochada Tat and writer/teacher Addi Somekh. The book will grip you from its first pages and not let you go.”
