sanda is just a combat sport. It's chinese kickboxing, that is kickboxing with throws.

it has very little to do with TCMA, in fact sanda is as modern as modern wushu...But unlikely wushu, sanda is very good for combat

[myclicks]

Hello Mike,

Since you know so many Chinese styles, I have a question for you. Do you know what style Sanda fighters use? Or what they use is not Kung Fu at all.

Thanks.

[o0Diomedes0o]

well, i know something about it, as I am currently training in shaolin kung-fu. I still find there are several flashy moves which are completely useless. Also, i find alot of the moves operate on the premise that you will be incredibly faster than your opponent(you would have to be in order for these moves to be effective IMHO). Also, they discount the opponents strength much of the time.

[superbouncykid]

You practise slow and over and over again to refine the technique, the timing, the coordination and the breathing. Good Tai Chi masters are fast, read: very fast in a fight. You won't see it coming. I have seen so many people slacking off slow motion movements like tai chi, but when they have to do it themselves, they can't do it well even after years. It is easy to say something doesn't work when you don't know a thing about it.

some music is from the soundtrack of HK action movie Ä man called hero", some songs are from a China/Mongolian band called Legend of the Phoenix.
