what's the difference between san shou and pankration?

[TOMMY BEE]

Sanshou : punch,kick,low kicks,throw,smetimes knees, no kneck wrestling unecessary clinches except for throws. Knees and elbows sometimes allowed in pros also called Sanda.

 

Thai: Puches,kicks,Low kicks,kness,elbows ,kneck wrestling allowed.

 

modafied rules : mostly the same without elbows,sometimes knees only to body.

Hey Tommy Bee and Iron! Hows it going?

 

I still have your autograph and pic on my training room.

 

anyways, San Shou is a pretty good art if you look at it. San Shou is really young art and It is right there wiht Muay Thai, (expect for that defect...but we beat em last time).

 

But we are getting better and better.

I like to fight Sanshou / Sanda rules because it gives you alot of options.

 

I guess I am sort of unique in that I really apreciate all styles of fighting.

 

I am not really into one style or another just good fights.

 

This is why I always trained and taught my students to fight in all styles.

 

Punch,Kick,knee,elbow,throw ,grapple its all good.
