I have been doing Kickboxing for a bit of fun now for about 4 months but it's well krap. It's one of those large profit organisations that employs instructors just to make money out of people so of course I'm a bit fed up with all that spinning kick krap. I will be starting Chinese boxing on Monday with a Tai Chi and Chinese Boxing instructor and was wandering what is it like? Is it like Muay Thai at all?

 

I want to continue doing a combatitive art like kickboxing alongside my Karate (Martial Art). That is why I want to start Chinese Boxing.

 

thanks,

 

regards,

 

Neil

I guess you mean San Shou? This is pretty much the same as MT, although MT boxers will claim MT is better.

 

Basically they are the same, although ofcourse San Shou is more Kung Fu based.

 

Take Care.

 

Oh how is the Goju Ryu Karate?

Given enough time, any man may master the physical. With enough knowledge, any man may become wise. It is the true warrior who can master both....and surpass the result.

I haven't watch too many San Shou matches but they look more like Muay Thai kickboxing with takedowns that looks like a combo of chinese and western styles of Wrestling

 

i have never saw a san Shou fighter using real Kung fu moves in the ring. But like i say. I havent watched many fights.

i do chinese kickboxing,

 

and i find it very similar to normal style american kickboxing, though some of the syllabus is very similar to external kung fu

 

therefore i would imagine chines boxing to be very traditionally orientated with a combination of western boxing,

 

i would say it would 60 % western boxing and 40% kung fu

That's really a generalization. If they punched, kicked or thrown thee opponent if they study kung-fu they used kung-fu. What are people expecting, tiger style, matis pose, monkey? (rhetorical question).

 

The ringsport also involve gloves, hence restricts techniques.

 

Anyways to answer the original question, classes will be dependent on the style of Chinese Boxing. Chinese boxing is just a label like Kung Fu.
