street fight scene from the movie "Xanda"

A scene from the Chinese action flick "Xanda", which is a movie based on the martial art "sanda" (also known as "sanshou"). Sanda is a modernised form of kung-fu which evolved from various wushu styles with foundations based on Jeet Kune Do and Shuai Chiao (Chinese wrestling). It is now a popular full-contact sport much like kickboxing that also allows the use of throws, body slams and take-downs.

This scene shows what it would be like for a practitioner of traditional kung-fu to be pitted against a professional sanda fighter. The guy in black is using traditional Chinese kung-fu against the guy in the grey tank-top who is a full-contact sanda competitor.

Sanda or sanshou methods are older than jeet kune do. Also the methods you see in Sanda today aren't exactly the same as the one's you would see in military sanda and even more so in ancient sanda.
