Sanda ( Sanshou - Chinese Kickboxing )
In this section you will learn sanda kicks, punches and throws.
Sanda is in particular a chinese combat sport very
similar to Muay Thai ( Thaiboxing ) and
is also know as Sanshou. The term Sanda has a longer history, while the term Sanshou
was invented
when the chinese government formalized the sport.
Sanda means: "free fighting" ( not MMA free fighting ) while Sanshou means "free hand".
The term Sanda is the more popular one.
Punches,
kicks and throws are allowed. Knee, elbow and head strikes are not allowed.
Some differences between Sanda and Muay Thai are that in Sanda there
are no ropes
surrounding the ring and elbows are not allowed in the
chinese fighting art.
Another difference is, that in Muay Thai the
hands are held much higher,
because attacks below hip level are always
blocked with the shing.
