hey Iron, i think i sorta remember you guys ... but i was there only for the finals late show. i rooting on my best bud. yes, i know Tjong, my buddy trains with him ( or Tjong teaches my buddy) and Howie Leung (well he trains with the guys from Shouyu Liang). haha, and i guess this is a minor detail, but i'm a chick :pony:! got to see those 2 chicks fight, and boy, i wish i'm still doing sanshou. BTW, nice pics! Ad, i'm not sure about the chinese kickboxing thing, maybe Iron can offer some answers, but i know that in training at Shouyu Liang, they are starting to incorporate knees and elbows...somehting like thai-ing sanshou and chinese-ing muay thai. a lot of the sanshou people are ex-thai boxers, so now the sanshou people are seeing what it's like. i think in the rules, there still aren't any elbows and knees....

hey, iron.... well,.... gosh it would be so easy to lie when i cant see you, but i'm not gonna so you won't have to end up kicking my butt (haha). i don't compete. i've done sanshou for about eight months, but had to quit due to conflict in time (i'd want to get back into it). i've been a spectator at the recent tiger balm, and last year's .... i cant remember right now... but it was held in richmond in november (not a big tourney). maybe you've met my buddy... weight class ~140pounds... where are you from? this rocks to hear from other people in sanshou!

i've done san shou before. anybody else heard of it? i think it's what Ad was referring to; chinese kickboxing. it's like thaiboxing but no elbows, and knees, and you get to grapple an throw. loads of fun (like everything else...)! usually they're in touneys with wushu and tai chi. oh, and yes, i think hung gar is the same as ho gar, because the name hung is actually the creator's family name. gar in chinese means family. so Hung (i.e. Smith) Gar (family) kung fu; named after the creator. people correct me if i'm wrong!

hello folks from all 'roun! i'm new to this and relatively new to MA. i've done muay thai on and off for about 6 months, and have recently quit my school. can anybody offer a good MT school in vancouver; home of the future 2002 stanley cup winners, the Canucks?
