MuayTB1 Posted November 24, 2001 Posted November 24, 2001 Today, while i am doing some san shou wiht my brother, we switched kicks and I was kicked in the middle of the leg I was wornder, in San Shou fights, are cups allowed? Under a real fight, is it allowed? "Don't think!! Feel..." -Bruce Leehttps://www.muaythaiboxing.friendpages.comThis site is dumb but I made it so it is good.
matbla Posted May 13, 2004 Posted May 13, 2004 i am not sure but it is a good question to ask. from matt blake
G Money Slick Posted May 13, 2004 Posted May 13, 2004 Yes cups are worn. If your enemy refuses to be humbled......you must destroy him.
Amosite Posted May 14, 2004 Posted May 14, 2004 Cups are compulsory in most competitions, and for good reason too. An opponent once tried a turning side kick that was low to say the least. Anyone else got some good cup-related stories?
Northren Ogre Posted May 15, 2004 Posted May 15, 2004 While fighting in the San Shou Gold medal match of the 2002 Tiger Blam Internationals, I was kicked in the groin on 3...yes 3 occasions. whenever I got rolling..BAM!...right in the nards. thank god for cups.(I won too) http://prkickboxing.tripod.com
Drunken Monkey Posted May 15, 2004 Posted May 15, 2004 i got a pretty good kick on the box once. i was ok for about ten seconds before i got the incredible urge to crouch down, curl over and go into the fetal postion. it doesn't hurt as much but it still hurts..... post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."
Guy_Mendiola Posted May 16, 2004 Posted May 16, 2004 In San Shou I've heard there are taekdowns that you could and I've been wondering if this is true?
Thuggish Posted May 16, 2004 Posted May 16, 2004 hell yea cups are required just like gloves are. and though its in different threads- yea, in san shou takedowns are where you get your points (at least in american san shou fights.) thats the biggest difference between it and muay thai. a broken arm throws no punches
italian_guy Posted May 17, 2004 Posted May 17, 2004 In San Shou I've heard there are taekdowns that you could and I've been wondering if this is true?Yes, (I never practiced San shou but it is practiced in the kung fu school where I go) it looks like kickboxing but it has some throws. The throws that you can do wearing a boxing glove.
kenpo4life Posted May 17, 2004 Posted May 17, 2004 Cups are your friend!! I think tha they are mandatory. If my survival means your total destruction, then so be it.
