Hai! You're wrong!
Sanda/Shansou is a modification from "LEI TAI = FREE FIGHT (WITHOUT RULE)"! If you looked at Chinese History, you will see that all kungfu master fight (with weapon or hand empty) for live and/or got new studies/challenges. They fought each other without any protection (body protector, gloves,etc). Shansou/sanda is a new model of fighting which is prepared to protect the fighter! In 70-80, many people or kungfu practioner fought across China Mainland, like as Taiwan, Filipina, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Canada, US,etc. Most of them beated local martial art! In our country, Muay Thay Fighter never win the fight if he met Sanda/Kungfu or Pencak Silat fighter (tournament or non tournament)! Why? because, rank of skill and his martial art is below then them! So? SHANSOU/SANDA IS NOT MUAY THAY! Do you know that Kungfu Fighter through Shansou/Sanda won several times at "KUNGFU VS MUAY THAY" Event both in China and/or Thailand? You should learn more deeply before you give your recommendation! Thanks.

For years Muay Thai was consistantly beating Sanshou/Sanda, until Sanshou has become more Muay Thai inclined, i believe the Chinese employed Thai fighters to teach Muay Thai to Sanshou artists. Now days things are more even, other than the fact that when the two styles fight the Chinese win in China and the Thais win in Thailand, its all biased judging and biased rules. I will say however that Sanshou only seem to win by points wheras the Thais knock the their opponants out. Another thing to consider is that the Thais who fight in these mixed matches arent the best Muay Thai fighters, but their opponants from Sanshou have been the top ranked fighters in their disapline.
