San Shou of modern day is much like MMA but with extensive variations of technique, each school of Chinese Martial Arts puts there individual stamp on the type of techniques incorporated.
Gloves and protective equipment are used.
As an unarmed self-defence, close quarter combat system, Sanshou includes toy (kicks), da (punches), shuai (throws), and na (locks).
it modern times it has been used as a primary training skill for the Chinese Army, as well as the development as a sport competing in varios tounaments including muay thai, k1 and mma. one of the latest stars of the sport is Cung Le Strikeforce Middleweight Champion after beating Frank Shamrock.
We are not a competition based club although we do have fighters that compete with excellent results.
We are very happy to train complete beginners and these are great classes for fitness and strength of mind!
