I agree that this is the way that most san shou fighters fight, but if a kung fu entered the tournament he wouldn't be forced to fight this way...I think san shou refers more to the set of rules than the style the fighters use...?
BTW, regarding the clip of real kung fu:
I usually use a lot of kickboxing when I fight but this weekend is my grandmaster's tournament and if it looks like I'm kickboxing he's gonna be ticked big time...I will probably end up kickboxing anyway but if I do in fact succeed in using some kung fu I'll put the clip online...
How did the fights go?
