Not quite true.

Sanda striking can look like whatever you want it to, as it's a format. It really depends on what the coach's background is. I've trained under coaches who've had western boxing, xingyi, or cailifo in their background, but when the sparring starts, you only notice small differences or occasional tricks that each style brings. Whatever northern gongfu I've learned typically has more dramatic defense/counterattack rhythms than western boxing, and attacks are either linear or moving in a forward zig-zag.

Anyone who says that their shaolin gongfu evaporates into mist as soon they put on boxing gloves is just being silly.

He is Roger Su who had defeated Robert Smith, a 3rd degree black belt in Judo when Roger was only 17 years old with only 1 and 1/2 year of SC training.

He looked like he had ability.

Any clips of him in action?

I have trained a lot of traditional northern Kung fu in China, i find it in no way similar to sanda striking.

I'm sure there are lots of differences in stance, close range short power, footwork and follow up attacks but what do you think is the difference between them in just jab, cross, uppercut and hook?

Greetings,

If all you get is four hand strikes out of your style, you would be better off with boxing. Save on your money.

IMO, the TCMA use low stance such as the bow-arrow stance that may be good for training but may not be suitable for the striking art (the throwing art does need low stance). Also the way that TCMA may use jab, cross, uppercut and hook are usually used when arm bridge or grip is established (clinch) which may be different from the boxing which is a "pure" striking art.

A TCMA guy may use his left palm to

- press down his opponent's leading arm and then use his uppercut to at his chin.
- grab on his opponent's leading left arm and then use his hook to aim at his head.
- grab on his opponent's leading left arm and then use his cross to aim at his chest/head.

A boxer will never use his left hand this way. As far as the jab, a TCMA guy and a boxer may apply the same way.

The problem is if you are a boxer and you also cross train the throwing art, you may have difficulty for your integration. A boxer will not have the "bridge (clinch)" concept which is a must for the striking art and grappling art integration. If your goal is to have a good striking art, the boxing may be better than the TCMA. If your goal is striking and grappling integration, the TCMA is definitely better than the boxing.
