Combat Sanshou - Part 1: Striking
by Wim Demeere

Most martial arts are activities, like sports. They're something you do with your opponent: he strikes, you block, you strike, he blocks. Combat Sanshou is a fighting art, and the purpose is to put your enemy on the ground without following him there: a true stand-up combat system designed for real-world combative application. This video set by master martial scientist Wim Demeere teaches you all aspects of Combat Sanshou and gives you what you need to know to take control in a fight, defeat your opponent and make certain he stays down for the count.

In Part One Demeere provides detailed instruction in the truly devastating upper body strikes of Combat Sanshou. Beginning with the essential punches that every good fighter must have in his arsenal, such as the jab, cross and uppercut, he then goes into the brutal forearm and elbow strikes specific to this fighting art. From there, he teaches lightning-fast defenses against these attacks, demonstrating how you can string offensive and defensive combinations together to completely overwhelm and defeat your attacker.

I wasn't aware that elbow strikes were included in Sanshou. I only thought it was a Muay Thai technique. I am just getting interested in Kung Fu and I am just looking at different styles here and there.

On another note, I like the video.

Glad to hear you like the video.

Elbows aren't allowed in sports Sanshou, but they are a big part of traditional sanshou in CMAs. Most styles have numerous elbow techniques. This video is about those things, not the sports version.

I can't really comment on what noobsaboot1 meant; your guess is as good as mine.

Thanks for stopping by.

Sanshou is the combat form of kung fu? That's the strangest thing I've ever heard.. Kung fu was made for war, not for sport.

Hi,

Please read the above replies carefully: The material *as structured and presented on these DVDs* is not taught in China. The separate components of it (sanda, hung chia pai, etc.) are.

"Combat Sanshou" is just the name given to the system on the DVDs. I'm well aware of what the PLA and Chinese schools teach under the name "sanshou". But that's not what I show on these DVDs. Some parts are similar, others different. I'm sorry to hear you disapprove.

Best of luck in your training.

Oh my god. Combat sanshou hasnt been taught in China??? Not sure how you worked that out. Sanshou is the comabat form of Kung Fu, no two ways about it. Whenever sanshou is taught it is combat.

This looks like a very watered down version of sanshou. I have trained sanshou in china for years now. This looks more like a weekend, Dad JKD style.

The comment was about "Combat Sanshou", meaning the material presented on the DVDs and nothing else. The Chinese government had nothing to do with that. I think you were talking about something else.
