Drunken Monkey Posted March 2, 2004 Posted March 2, 2004 y'know, i've only recently seen san shou rules fights. for a long time i've taken what you guys to be talking about to be proper san shou, as in traditional chinese loose techniques fighting. totally different kettle of kippers. but a general question. isn't it all just about a different set of rules? 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."
SevenStar Posted March 2, 2004 Posted March 2, 2004 Q1. If not for Muay thai, sanda would not even been invented. that's not true... The thai's aren't credited with inventing full contact fighting. If that's the case, if not for alexander the great, it's possible that there would be no muay thai...
Ali Posted March 3, 2004 Posted March 3, 2004 San Shou = Combation of practical combat technique that taken out from form Sanda = Chinese way of free fighting rule Sanda started from 1984 again after the Cultural Revolution end on 1978 During the revolution, martial artists are being insulted or killed by political reason. Chinese Martial Art decline and stopped for nearly 1 decade from 1968 - 1978. Meanwhile, Chinese martial art divide into 2 mainstreams: 1) Wushu - Using Long fist (One of the northern style Chinese boxing) to represent and emphasis on jumping and flowery skill. Present only in form and demonstration. Combat technique is nearly ignored. 2) Sanda - Wearing glove and nearly full set of protection - Helmet, Body shield, glove and knee pad. Punching, Kicking, Throwing are allowed but no knee or elbow. Recent years, rules are open more to allow knee and elbow with pad. And taken off the Helmet, Body shield. Just remain glove and groin pad. Darkness grants me pair of dark black eye,Yet I determine to look for Brightness
Drunken Monkey Posted March 3, 2004 Posted March 3, 2004 that's what i'm talking about. the 'san shou' that the guys here are talking about is the thing taht that cung li dude plays in. it's kinda like a kickboxing fight with a slightly different set of rules. it's not 'san shou' (loose hands)as we know it from cantonese, which is more or less the same as 'san da' (loose hits). it also sounds like that there is another application of the name 'san da'. 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."
Thuggish Posted March 20, 2004 Posted March 20, 2004 san shou isnt really watered down muay thai, that site isnt entirely accurate. basic diff is san shou has throws, no elbows... MT has elbows, no throws. a broken arm throws no punches

SevenStar Posted March 22, 2004 Posted March 22, 2004 yeah, that's quite inaccurate. those two differences alone mean huge diferences in fight strategy. There are some takedowns allowed in MT, however, sweeping via the cut kick or via a knee from the clinch are allowed.
