yas Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 San soo is just another transliteration of 散手 or san shou using pinyin. Same thing as sanda. A very comprehensive fighting system (or a collection of rules to be more precise) encompassing different kung fu styles, it has grappling as well that comes from mongolian wrestling.There are no belts and spiritual mumbo-jumbo in san soo (or forms to that matter). Nowadays if you study say Northern Shaolin in China you woud almost certainly be getting down to earth every once in a while, in san shou matches. Basically it is a way to give battle application albeit in a somewhat castrated way to all those things you were learning in traditional styles. As a martial art it is not very aesthetically pleasing however, well at least I dont see it that way, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushido_man96 Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Typically, fighting never does end up looking aesthitcally pleasing to most people. But, beauty is in the eye of the beholder... https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yas Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Fighting rarely does indeed. But I tend to get more aesthetic pleasure training in some martial arts than in others. Anyways that is too subjective an experience to go into as you have pointed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Rowe boat Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 I did it for a good while a long time ago. This gives you a pretty good idea of what it's like. Enjoy.http://youtube.com/watch?v=TskDuQcb7wI&feature=relatedThis video is where my son and I train. Their emphasis is on self defense. This is not an art for tournaments it is for the street. The Master where we train says it's " dirty nasty street fighting for beautiful people" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
