Chinese National Champions – Kung Fu Fighting Chinese Sanshou

Only! It Stays Here! Your Kung Fu is pretty good… Me Chinese. Me Make Joke: Me hit you with a solid left-right punch combination to the body and then head, fake high with a kick and deliver a chopping shin strike low to your leg. One follow up stomp thrust kick to your chest, pull your face in for a knee hit and then crank your neck as I sweep your leg out from below you and drop you to the dirt! A few hits of ground and pound and you are OUT! BITCH! Stay Down! Sanshou has been gaining use as a base of striking skills for MMA fighters. Still to dethrone the old standards of Western Boxing (my choice) or Muay Thai, Sanshou does include one benefit (not inborn nativity in the other two) in that it already incorporates the use of takedowns and ground game into it’s overall mechanics. That and the fact that is is fucking awesome! This DVD sets shows GREAT combinations of strikes. Hits and counter hits from different positions (starting and those encountered later in a fight) which lead to three hit- or more- combos and then takedowns. The fighters show good pace and this is useful to study and drill on.

If you need to work on openings for strikes and angles of attack: Check it out.
