You need to get out more :rolleyes: [/B]
Why? Is it a lower number? 
You gotta learn how to take a critique.
Actually, what gives San Shou a bad name is poorly trained people entering the divisions and fighting like crap, they are usually guys from so called “traditional” schools 
Look at the athletes from the real centers for San Shou/San Da and you HAVE to be impressed. You can’t look at Albert Pope, Mike Norman, Max Chen, Rich Acosta, Josh Bearegard, Ian Morgan, Jose Palacios, Duncan Duffin, Brian Madigan, Russ Middleton, Ed Carpio, etc etc etc and not be impressed unless you have an ax to grind…
Again, in all seriousness this time, people who THINK they can fight often enter our competitions and then get DESTROYED and look bad in the process…
Also, there are TONS of bad Muay Thai athletes, go to any kickboxing show in the US and you will see TONS of them…
