NYSanDa Punching and Clinching DVD Review

[QUOTE=sanjuro_ronin;840667]Cool, is it ok to just come to one day?
Our little one just turned 6 months and we have issues leaving her toomany nights with her GP, just because we will miss her like heck !
I could try to come alone, but its the wife’s BDay in March, and even though I am getting here a new SUV, if I go to NYC (where she has always wanted to go) and don’t take her, I will be choking the chicken till I am old and gray ![/QUOTE]

I’m sure Ross won’t mind if you pay full price and only attend one day. :wink:

Thanks MK.

That thread was good and then bad…like all of them.

I guess I should sabotage this thread and make the claim that:

[SIZE=“1”]1bad65 is ducking Rudy.[/SIZE]

it is usually $159 for the whole weekend (if you are not an STS member). A single day is $60

I have a question about san da.

What constitutes as san da?

Is it the rules that make it san da like muay thai, international, full contact, etc?
Is it an organization such as san da organization and anything under that association is san da?
Is it theory like in JKD concepts?
Is it national origin?
Is it just a name?

The reason I ask is because if it looks like kickboxing, i might mistaken it as KB.

Thanks

That title is almost as good as mine;

Intergalactic mystic ruler of the martial arts.

I noticed a lack of chi-sao in the outline. Does that cost extra?

you have to join the “innner cirlce” to learn the secret chi sau

I was interested in chi SAO, not chi SAU…obviously your lineage doesn’t know anything.

that’s how you spell it? LOL! man, you really know nothing

its Wiki, but its as good as an explanation as you’re gonna get.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_da

I know the translation at the time of conception. You’ve probably got a watered down, communist infiltrated version that misses most of the original intent behind using an O instead of a U.

Oh, and it’s spelled: sa’aen d’a.

That wikipedia entry is interesting. Especially how it talks about san da as not really a specific style but an arena of combat.
Although many techniques are very similar, I’ve found in sparring with individuals from other systems, that there is a definite difference in flavour between styles.

I’m curious to ask how people find this to be the case between schools that focus just on San Da and schools that offer this as part of the curriculum? Is there much of a difference? Do San Da specific schools train and perform in roughly the same way?
Is there many San Da clubs with trainers who have no wushu/kung fu background?

[QUOTE=WinterPalm;841630]I was interested in chi SAO, not chi SAU…obviously your lineage doesn’t know anything.[/QUOTE]How about this, if you come I’ll make sure I’m in town. for $50 I’ll give you a chi sao lesson.:wink: (I suck but honestly thats still better than most people). chi blasts will be a extra $100.

Ha! I get chi blasts regularly out here for $20 a pop.

But I’ll be there, registered for the seminar, got my plane tickets and booked my kidney donation room.

Last time I was in New York I slept a night in Central Park. This time I get a bed!
