Questions about Sanshou?
I need very descriptive and very informative answers about sanshou.
When sanshou was made did it incorporate knee,elbows, punches, and kicks from other martial arts not chinese or did they come from styles of kung fu, I know the throw, takedowns, and grapples come from kung fu but I need to know if the strikes do.
Is Sanshou knees and elbows any different from Muay Thais if so how different is it like how do they use them the way Muay Thai doesn't?
I need to know if sanda is true kung fu/Chinese Martial Arts or a copy of other countries techniques with only Shuai Jiao and Chin Na as real chinese martial arts. Also please I want a real answer as in don't just give me afew words give me information and detail and history on sanda, I need the best information you can give me and your sources to verify you're right.
Sanshou or also known as "Sanda" didnt start off as a style. It translates as "free fighting". Originally, Sanshou was a type of fighting event. Leaders from different schools would meet up at a raised "lai tai" platform and fight (often to the death), to prove their school was best. there were no illegal strikes. If you were knocked off the platform you automatically lost. Usually after a school won about 200 fights they would be praised and everyone wanted to study there.
In the 1900's , the government became concerned. Too many great masters were dying due to these ancient and barbaric fights. So the government outlawed unsanctioned bouts and issues a set of rules, and made the fighters wear boxing style gloves. After rules were set in place, and Boxing Gloves became issued, the fighters started to noticed that their techniques were becoming limited due to these rules and gloves. So, they had to find a way to adapt. So, many master came together and decided to turn Sanshou fighting in a style itself. The strikes are all basic strikes found in kung fu. Sidekicks, knees, spin kicks, sweeps, front punches, jump kicks. While the throws all come from traditional forms (aka kata in japanese) and Shuai jiao. However, the elbow is illegal in sanda. The government outlawed the use of elbows, but knees are allowed.
There are now two types of Sanda. The sport version, and military version. The military version is just like the sport version, except for the fact they train their Chin Na submissions, ground defense, and weapon defense. They also utilize pressure points and grabs found in styles like Eagle claw.
I dont think sanda was inspired by muay thai in terms of techniques, because kung fu has elbows and knees, and everything else in between. But, i do think modern sanda was inspired by muay thai in terms of having gloves and rules.
Today, Sanda is mainly fought in a ring, but the raised lai tai is sometimes still used. Sometimes, they use "water" lai tai. If you fall out of the ring, you land in a lake. This scores big.
