Sanshou Kickboxing
Sanda, Sanshou or an "unsactioned fight" is a Chinese self defense system and combat sport. Sanshou is a martial art which was originally developed by the Chinese military based upon the study and practices of traditional Kung Fu and modern combat fighting techniques; it combines full-contact kicking and punching which inclue close range and rapid successive punches and kics, with wrestling, takedowns, throws, sweeps, kick catches and in some competitions even elb ow and knee strikes.
ITMA offers Shanshou in place of the traditional Muay Thai because of the throws and takedowns. We believe that Sanshou offers more of a competitive edge. Ask an instructor for details.
