Hello,

I would to know which style of fighting is used in Sanda ?
In this video :

at 8:54 we can see the occidental fighter explaining that he has to lose his old habbits to move up his shoulders, because of his english boxing style.
I have some questions for the one who know well Sanda :

-Is the way of punching in Sanda is like muay thai, english boxing ? Or something different with shoulders down ?
-Is there inspiration from traditionnal kung fu style to generate power while punching, like choy lee fut or styles like that ? Or the modern Sanda is totally different from traditionnal kung fu styles, in the way to generate power while punching ?

Thank you for you answers.
