sanshou vs muay thai... hmmm...? that's a toughy. sure sanshou is great, but so is muay thai. aren't they pretty much the same? i mean theere are some differences but they are the almost the same. and isnt one of the reasons that sanshou fighters win against muay thai fighters the throws? doesnt throwing your opponent add a point to your scorecard? that would mean that if you were a muay thai guy, who was dominating a round, and the sanshou guy threw you, it would even out the round or give the round to you. kinda blows. but anyway.., cung le is awesome and so is sanshou. and as for techniques go. i dunno if a lot of people join muay thai right away. they probably have a base in another art and take techniques they like and use them in muay thai. i use the axe kick when i spar at muay thai. its more of a shocker than a powerful kick. it can really throw someone off if u time it right.
