San Shou translates as "unbound hand", which refers to a form of free fighting where the rules are designed to accurately simulate actual combat. What makes San Shou matches so exciting is that they are typically fought on a raised platform called the "Lei Tai". Historically, the Lei Tai dates back centuries in China where challenge matches were fought both bare handed and also with weapons and no rules often resulting in death or serious injury. Of course competition format does not exist and modern training in San Shou is safe and sterile in comparison to its historical roots. Whether you simple wish to tone up, relive stress or compete on a highly exhilarating format of combat: San Shou is for you. Chinese Kickboxing is a conventional system of fighting that includes boxing, kicking, takedowns and throws. However, elbow, and knee attacks are also taught during these sessions as well. This class is perfect for men and women seeking something more competitive and fitness driven. Our Martial Arts training includes focus pad, kick shield and heavy bag work.
The strategies of San Shou are very different to conventional kickboxing, more exciting, varied and fun. Come along and see for yourself! |
