San Shou - orthographically after Pinyin : Sanshou - ( Chinese 散 手 - "Freehand") is an important basic partner exercise for the real duel in traditional Chinese Wushu . This exercise of the external martial arts is opposed to the Tuishou exercises of the internal martial arts .
In modern Chinese Wushu it is mostly known under the younger term Sanda - 散打 - "free fight ". The modern Sanshou - 現代 散 手 / 现代 散 手 or modern Sanda - 現代 散打 / 现代 散打 , usually called "Sanda" for short, contains many aspects of traditional Chinese defense and martial arts elements, but also elements from other combat systems . Accordingly, typical elements of martial arts such as kicks - tī , 踢 - "kick" and blows - dǎ , 打 - "hit" as well as throws - shuāi , 摔 - "throw to the ground", grappling - ná , 拿 - "grab", for example , using levers and strangleholdings as well as takedowns and sweeps - diē , 跌 - "rush" as special elements of the sanshous.
Principle and technology
San Shou is an informal hand-to-hand combat system , which is a synthesis of traditional Chinese fighting techniques. During the Republican Era (1912-49) the traditional San Shou was developed as a modern close combat system "Sanda" in the Whampoa Military Academy in Guangzhou . After the founding of the People's Republic of China , selected Chinese and other Asian and Western martial arts styles were combined and supplemented by the People's Liberation Army in the 1950s . The sporty San Shou - competition-oriented Sanda - was later developed by some Wushu teachers as a form of competition alongside the modern Taolu forms .
The focus of the training is on improving the fighting skills and knowledge that are necessary for realistic duels, while perfecting forms is not given any importance.
