    Question Sanshou vs the world

    Do you think sanshou is a good way to represent kung fu against other ring sports?

    True, but that doesn't mean that a kung fu student can't fight in sport format.

    In most cases San shou is just Taekwondo/Muay Thai kicks with punches from boxing and shuai chiao throws allowed so it's doesn't neccesarily have anything to do with kung fu except for the throws(which may even be judo) but could just mean set of rules.

    You'll sometimes hear someone say San shou rules or Muay Thai rules or NHB rules.

    That's gonna vary from school to school. some coaches use cma techniques only. lkfmdc does this.

    Many styles draw from other styles. Sambo borrows some throws from judo. But if you go to a sambo place you will find it's very different from judo and wrestling even though it has a lot of the same techniques.

    BJJ comes directly from judo. But it is different.

    Now. About san shou. It may have techs from other styles but it is not the same style. Otherwise BJJ would be judo, and sambo would be judo, and everything in the world would be judo and we would all be walking around wearing judo gi's.
    Be cool, stay in school.

    I don't know. San Shou is a good art to study. If people trained in San Shou do well consistently in competition then it shows that San Shou is good. It doesn't mean a Wing Chun guy or a Shaolin Changquan guy could do well. I'm not saying those are bad style, they're just the first names that poped into my head

    A lot of people say San Shou isn't Chinese because they see techniques from others styles in the fights. Well, that's because many San Shou competitors are from non Chinese styles. Like Cung Le. He learned lots of Tae Kwon Do and was a college wrestling champ. San Shou competion is open to all different styles.

    Nope. Gung Fu taint no sport, sport.
    What about Shui Jiao(sp?)? Why isn't "Gung Fu" a sport? I agree it's more than just sport, but that doesn't mean there aren't sportive aspects to gungfu. Competition has been a part of CMA for a very very long time.
