Not question as such is absurd, but there are so many factors, that making fast conclusions without understanding more general situation might be kind of absurd.

Right, the new rules don't ban continuous punching, fortunately. But you can check that after introduction of new rules, still in many competitions in China they prefered to adopt old set of rules.

In cases of some trials, they also tend to use the set of rules which is more convenient for one side, or at least makes it safer.

[dacheng]

Asking this kind of questions about what happend is just absurd. There were many meetings and trials, in different situations and with different results. Just opportunities of getting various experiences and better understanding what you are doing, what others are doing, what are differences, what can be adopted, and what should not. There is nothing special to talk with those who don't understand anything, and seek other meaning.

[dacheng]

It was changed only for some professional events, like Sanda Wang, where only those who previously got medals at all China level in normal sports sanda and additionally conformed to high standard of physical fitness (had to undergone many tests, including running, jumping, laboratory examinations etc.)were admitted.

dacheng, the particular sports sanda punching to the head is outdated. I think it has been allowed to punch continuously to the head for a number of years now, at least since the start of Sanda Wang.

It's good if the intention is to challenge oneself. But it seems excuses are made about losing and people doesn't seem to want to talk about what happened?

[dacheng]

This rule is still valid in normal sports sanda and it will not change, as long the Chinese still think about making wushu Olympic event and eventually also make sanda part of it.

[dacheng]

And if some yiquan people win in sanda, so what? It only means that they spent enough time in training specific for sanda rules. Which is something completely different from yiquan approach. So why should people care about such things? Better start learning, and not only start, but continue longer, so you can better understand, instead posting absurd comments and absurd questions.

[Yuxian09]

Why is it absurd to ask about what happened?

You are still wrong re the continuous punching rule. Even in sanshou (ie. amateur events) now, it has been allowed for a number of years now.

[Yuxian09]

Anyway I found the site so I will post something there to find out what happenned. I am not here to bad mouth yiquan. I just want to know more about the event. Thanks.

[dacheng]

So apart from the fact that most are not professionals, because in present situation yiquan doesn't allow this kind of carreer as sanda, even if they are really good, it doesn't mean that they need to win in part of chess or other game. But would you say that yiquan is useless after you learn that some yiquan person lost in chess? :-)

[dacheng]

Normally yiquan people don't train like this, because it makes no sense from point of view of normal fighting. They learn continuing attack and destroying with all possible means, like for 'die or stay alive' extreme situation.
