Northren Ogre Posted September 6, 2004 Posted September 6, 2004 Fun stuff San Shou. I train, instruct and compete in San Shou. It is similar to Muay Thai, but with emphasis on throws, rather than clinching. Most tournaments do not allow knee or elbow attacks, even though they are San Shou techniques. Some are starting to allow knee strikes in amatuer competitions. http://sanshou.com http://prkickboxing.tripod.com

Iron Arahat Posted September 13, 2004 Posted September 13, 2004 How does one prepare for full contact fighting and develop muscles that can protect areas like the kidneys? One could write a book on how to prepare for a fight, especially something like Sanshou. Success though comes through good conditioning, and a strong basic foundation to be built upon. San Shou is essentially rules for fighting (sport). Every school has there own "style" within Sanshou.

thaiboxerken Posted September 27, 2004 Posted September 27, 2004 San Shou is a relatively new sport that is China's answer to Muay Thai. They emphasize throws which greatly changes the environment of the competition. IMO, I think it is a sport tailored to Kung Le, who didn't want to fight in Muay Thai or MMA events. Just kick 'em, they'll understand.- Me Apprentice Instructor under Guro Inosanto in Jun Fan Gung Fu and Filipinno Martial arts.Certified Instructor of Frank Cucci's Linxx system of martial arts.
Iron Arahat Posted October 11, 2004 Posted October 11, 2004 San Shou dates back centuries, but modern style San Shou is only a recent development 1960's not incorporated with Modern Wushu until 1991. As for being catered to Cung Le, not really, he only placed 3rd at the world championships, an has only fought a handful of IKF sanctioned belts, before hosting his own events. Maybe one of the US's better San Shou fighters, but some who is more focused I think on a movie career. Cung has fought K-1 events, and is more than willing to fight Thai Rules, which means no throws for a San Shou fighter.
