Do you believe that TCMA tournaments that hold San Shou events should limit participation to only TCMA practioners or should any style be allowed to compete under these rules. Personnally I think it would go a long way to allow all styles to compete under San Shou instead of trying to make it strictly for Kung Fu. Thoughts?

I know there are events that anyone can compete in San Shou but I have also heard of "closed" type events where San Shou competitors have to prove they come from a TCMA background. I think this is a negative approach and further alienates us Kung Fu practioners from the rest of the martial arts world. It also takes from us the opportunity to fight and learn by competing against competitors from other arts.

sure, why not? It has a rule set, so any style can enter, they just have to stay to the rule set and it's all good.
Kung Fu is good for you.

Yes we have everything form forms, weapon, push hands, continuous, Shuai Chiao and san shou.
Although we invite everyone from all styles and areas, no one outside of CMA comes to our event for Shuai Chiao or San Shou? Now why is that? Why is it that other styles don't come? Do they feel they can not modify their technique for our competition? Are they scared they will see how bad they really are?
Any other CMA tournament promoters see this?

San Shou/Sanda comps should be for everyone regardless of style.
Everyone benefits from such an approach.
