Rudolph, san da means free fight. Originally, it refers to the old raised platform matches where masters would challenge one another. It was school vs. school and style vs style. Their were many popular rivalries: wing chun vs. choy li fut vs. hung ga, shaolin vs. wutang.

They would try to either launch their opponent off the platform with sweeps or throws, throw them high and hard (head first) or overcome their opponents with strikes.

San shou is the ring style that looks like muay thai with throws. Literally san shou means free hand (not kong shou =karate) free as in no rules.

The only way anyone could know military san da is if they served on the People's Republic Army. Military san da as I understand it uses alot of styles qin na and shuai jiao.
