Sanda, which literally means free fighting is a Chinese self- defense and combat system, also called Chinese kick boxing.
Sanda is normally not considered a martial arts style itself, but rather a training method often taught alongside other traditional Kung fu styles.
Although Sanda is considered a military combat style or modern wushu discipline, it still embraces the techniques, theory, training methods and spirit of traditional Kung fu.
Sanda, is suitable for use in one on one competition, however unlike Sanda, grappling is not allowed, or targeting vital body parts such as throat, eyes, crotch and the back of the head.
Allowable Sanda moves include:Punching, kicking, wrestling, take downs, throws, leg sweeps, catches, and in some competitions: elbow and knee strikes. Competitors must be in the same weight category and wear protective clothing during matches.
