Combat Sanshou - Part Three: Takedowns, Throws, and Finishing Moves

by Wim Demeere

Part Three addresses the final aspects of Combat Sanshou's vicious fighting strategy: slamming your enemy to the ground and keeping him there for good, if necessary. Relying on the simple, basic combative principles of immediate entry and taking away your opponent's base, he shows you fast, hard throws and takedowns that will work no matter how skilled a person you're fighting. Once your opponent's down, Wim Demeere demonstrates joint manipulations, slams and stomps to keep him from getting up and trying to fight with you again.

cool jsut asking are the throws effective in real fights? coz ihv heard that its not very effective coz its takes ALOT energy outta you which are essential for fighting and surviving in the fight, too it doesnt knock the opponent out , it just makes him more angry with you each time u throw him . is it? thx any reply is appreaciated

@MechPhantom It depends on a lot of factors, just like with any other technique. Sometimes throws work great, other times not so much.There are no guarantees in a fight, it can always go wrong at any moment.

does the whirlwind throw mostly take a lot of brute strength to perform or is there a leverage aspect to it like most throws?

[ptccm]

@culturaleyes It depends on how you do it. The lifting version takes some strength, though "brute strength" is something you should always try to avoid. But there are other versions of this throw where it's all about leverage. As always, there ar many variations and tons of factors involved. All of these come into play when you do the technique in real life.

what's the throw at about0.27?- the one from behind! Please, someone let me know of some links

[ptccm]

@heliojanusz It's called a "whirlwind throw".

[MechPhantom]

@ptccm yea true , still for me throws are awesome, but best is to stick to striking which is surely the most effective. after all too if hes heavier than you like a fat guy etc, u cant even carry him then that will result in loss of stamina and even your own life. peace thx nice vid man u own !

[ptccm]

@ZigZagRunner In theory, you're right. But like Animal said: the difference between theory and practice is than in theory, there is no difference.

Personally, I train for both both striking and throwing. Then you can pick the technique you want instead of having only one option. YMMV of course...

[ZigZagRunner]

@ptccm well ive only done training and sparring so i can only put common sense to it. a punch is small but fast. a throw has alot more weight and awkwardness to it if they land funny on a hard surface they will almost certainly break something for a punch they have to land it right on the chin for a knockout unless of course your mike tyson or something. im not say one will always and the other wont im saying the chance of a throw doing more damage is greater than the chance of a punch

[ptccm]

@ZigZagRunner I can only stand by my original reply to you. In my experience, it's all up in the air. I've hit people with my best shot and they didn't even blink. Others went down after I hardly touched them. Some guys I tossed on their head and they bounced right up. Others smacked to the floor after a measly leg sweep, fell badly and couldn't get up anymore.

I don't think anything is guaranteed in a fight. YMMV, of course.
