more traditional aspects like what? forms practice? i'm curious to what you mean since this guy ben, is my student

@@hungsingkwoonusa650 He has uploaded a zillion videos on Sanda, so obviously he and his studens can use it. I was thinking about training before you put on the gloves. Basic techniques, stance training, principles explained, footwork, strategy in fighting. That sort of things.

@@Andy-ud1gd listen. if when you learn martial arts, you have never been in a fight before, then you are lacking the real foundation on what REAL martial arts for used for. just a shell of a martial artist. i make my guys spar from day one so they can truly understand how to use the tradition stuff and even for modern day use. all of what you mentioned is in our combat training. forms are good, but they are more of a USB stick holding the keys to how to use the system.

IWUF approved WESING brand male Sanda chest protector

It is standard in Sanda. The body padding is for judges to hear a decisive strike to the body.

For the tl;dr reaction, you can watch an interview where my Sanda coach, Laoshi Mark Lorenzo, former Guoshu (国术; guóshù, traditional Chinese martial arts, literally “national art”) lei tai (擂台; lèitái, traditional Chinese martial arts full-contact fighting, literally “raised platform”) and Sanda champion, and nationally and internationally certified Sanda judge under the USAWKF and IWUF, explains some of the similarities and differences between the two rulesets and his personal experiences in both: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kIWzeHaEh7Wleqcsi=dFNYiHDNmz9IJx1Z&t=2247 USAWKF Sanda is definitely at a higher level and standard of competition and skill, but although USKSF lei tai is generally sloppier, it is still entertaining to watch, you'll always find a show there lol The most obvious difference is modern Wushu Sanda generally lacks the combination of elbow and knee strikes which Guoshu lei tai allows. Theoretically, Guoshu lei tai has the advantage here, because of the more free arsenal of weapons allowed in competition. Personally, I have rarely seen elbows being thrown at the US International Kuo Shu Championship Tournament unless they were recent Muay Thai fighters with the exception of one Hung Gar fighter, however, I have seen quite a few knees there, which is a very interesting and refreshing element in fighting to see. Because of this, Sanda essentially has the same limitations as amateur kickboxing. An exception to this is professional Sanda which allows knee strikes The two methods’ difference in time limits for a clinching/holding between two fighters also highlights another limitation in modern Wushu Sanda which does not hinder Guoshu lei tai as much. The time limit for a clinch in modern Wushu Sanda is only a mere two seconds, leaving little to no time for a fighter to execute any viable throw or effective technique within the clinch; I can stretch myself to understand this for kick catches, but for clinching, there is no time to work any actual wrestling. In Guoshu lei tai, the time limit for a clinch is five seconds. While still relatively short compared to Muay Thai and MMA (Mixed Martial Arts), this comparatively longer time limit theoretically can, and has, allowed for more wrestling action to occur in Guoshu lei tai matches. Another thing Guoshu lei tai has which modern Wushu Sanda does not is the versatility of the hand. Sanda requires boxing gloves, which consequently limits all hand techniques in competitive Sanda to a closed fist. By contrast, Guoshu lei tai regulations require open-fingered gloves between 4 and 6 ounces, which must allow for an open hand, similar to and including, MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) and grappling gloves. Thus, Guoshu lei tai also allows for openhanded strikes, whereas modern Wushu Sanda cannot, due to the restriction of a closed fist in a boxing glove. Another comparative note to make is Sanda regulations also require chest protectors in competition, whereas Guoshu lei tai does not. Therefore, at least theoretically, one can see because Guoshu lei tai has less protection, there is a lot more intensity and risk involved; scoring criteria for strikes in Sanda includes audible contact to a legal (scoring) area of attack (ex: slap of thigh, clapping/cracking/popping sound of headgear or chest protector), which takes away from the necessity of full damage in strikes, whereas Guoshu lei tai rules state, "Only techniques which are delivered with full power, resulting in a trembling shock to the opponent, will be scored", which theoretically allows for more damage and therefore risk, but is also subjective. Again, professional Sanda is an exception to this, and does not have either of these requirements. However, believe it or not, Guoshu lei tai competition also lacks certain freedoms which modern Wushu Sanda has. Guoshu lei tai also prohibits any manner of strikes to inner thigh or close to the knee, which is very restrictive compared to Sanda and other kickboxing styles, and speaks to a lack of complete understanding of striking, because leg/low kicks ideally strike close to the knee. This ironically also brings up an issue of safety; exclusively allowing kicks to the outer thigh puts more internal stress on the knee, leaving fighters with a greater risk of an ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) tear, as Jason Liu, former three-time US Wushu Team member in Taolu and two-time US Wushu Team member in Sanda, World Wushu Championships silver medalist, and Pan American Wushu Championships gold medalist, pointed out, and should seriously be addressed. On scoring 1-point takedowns, Guoshu lei tai rules state competitors must execute "a throw causing the opponent to fall and landing on top of the opponent covering the opponent’s torso", which Mark thinks is overkill, but I believe is fair in terms rewarding superior positional control, however does not reward effective takedowns which do not meet this criteria. Conversely, modern Wushu Sanda rules are much more binary with a "down first" policy, where the definition of "down" is anything besides both feet contacting the lei tai, which is simpler and can overlook superior positional control, but still rewards effective takedowns more. Finally, ring/push outs with clear separation, including sacrifice throws, off the lei tai are scored at 2 points in Wushu Sanda, and twice ends the round, whereas they are scored at 3 points in Guoshu lei tai but do not include sacrifice throws, and thrice wins the match.

He also boxed the day before and doesn't even do fight camps anymore, just signs up to fight and is all about combat sports, dude's a monster lol

This is amateur.
