| Registered User | Thanks for the reply. I am just wondering, do you have any military experience, Hand2Hand? I posted this because I am tired of reading people saying that "Sanda" is Muay Thai with throws. Sport Sanda might look like Muay Thai with throws, but real Sanda is a military system, not a sport. The objective of the military is to kill or incapacitate quickly, so I don't think we should judge Sanda by what we see in the ring with 100 pages of rules. |

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. |
