Sanda/Sanshou

[lkfmdc]

Modern legal sanda is certainly not the future of TCMA.

no, clearly the future of CMA is pretty forms, tin foil weapons, shaolin monks and chi blasts

The best type of rules for TCMA are those of some underground fights in China. That's where some TCMA stylists have also shined but the thing about underground fighting is that it has to remain underground so for those who think they can know everything about kungfu by watching youtube good luck finding any videos online.

ah, yes, of course, the real is a hidden secret that no one can every really see

Can this be the future of TCMA?

TCMA is many things to many people. I'm sure we will continue to see manifestations all across the spectrum. Unfortunately, that is one of them.

I don't know why you want to make it mysitical. Underground fights exist in China and many other countries. In China Sanda and some TCMA fighters both participate, the rules are looser than mma and they don't use gloves. They can't put the videos online because of china's strict laws.

Question: Why the heck if you were any good would you fight in an underground match for nothing but an ego trip against a bunch of no name losers when there's real money to be made in the sanctioned legal stuff?

the last great underground fight to get caught on film

How much money do you think your average fighter can make in China? There is more money in Heiquan.

[lkfmdc]

hundreds of thousands of fights that are actually on film that can be viewed, yet there is no "real kung fu" on them... the only "the real" kung fu is in underground matches you can't watch

[lkfmdc]

Tiequan Zhang fought in the UFC and made more money doing that than 95% of China has ever seen

[xinyidizi]

The question is how many Chinese people you think can make it to the UFC. The market is not there yet to focus on producing such athletes and many things are still at amateur level. Anyway in my first post I said the best rules for kungfu people and was not talking about any personal macho agendas. I respect your opinion if you think UFC has better rules for TCMA practitioners.

[Shǎguā]

15 seconds per round is absolutely stupid. If both fighters are seasoned, nothing will come of it.

The only way 15 second rounds would produce decisive winners is if one or both of the fighters were complete noobs.

Greetings,

Shagua,

If you need three minutes to do your thing on the street, you are dead meat, conditioning or no conditioning.

I see more concerns about the sporting aspect and the money that can be made from it. I am not interested in that.

I would still prefer 15 second rounds.

I like 15 seconds game too. You can do a lot in 15 seconds. The following clip is the first 15 seconds of the fight.

If you only have 15 second, it will force you to move and not "wait". It may not work for Taiji fighters. They believe in "if you don't move, I don't move ..."

[mickey]

Yes YKW,

It forces the fighters to bring forth their best immediately. I think it would result in some very aggressive fighting.
