19th,
but have you ever seen kuoshu style fighting? I think that you might enjoy it, as the rules are in some ways less restrictive than muay thai or san da…
I’ve heard that they use this name instead of san shou in taiwan but I’ve never seen a tournament advertised for it around here.

19thlohan; come visit us at boston sanshou and we’ll teach you all about the differences between mauy thai and san da. san shou and san da are very similar actually, san da just has a slight rules variation to deal with, but its basically the same thing. theyre a unique animal, only the uninitiated think its just like thai boxing or american rules kickboxing.
Thanks. I’ve trained in all three before and I already have a place to train I was just looking for info on san shou tournaments. I’ve done san da before but becuase they allow knees it turns 75% or more of the fighters into tough guys who don’t care about skill and unless I personally see a big change in that I wouldn’t go again.

Where have you trained San Shou and San Da?
Where did you fight San Da rules before?
Be specific, because some us might otherwise think you are full of it…

Okay, gotcha. You must be one of Lefty’s peeps, right? I like you guys, and he runs a great club. Don’t give up entirely on San Da, we need all the CMA fighters in this sport that we can get, otherwise we do end up fighting a lot of mauy thai guys, and those match-ups often do have a different flavor (although i think theyre still a good experience). I still insist san da is quite different than mauy thai. I hear what your saying though.
Peace.
