The Ultimate physical conditioning program: Sanshou is a modern Chinese hand to hand combat, self-defense system and combat sport. Emphasis is placed on the physical development of the practitioner through a rigourous conditioning program that promotes stamina, endurance, strength and speed. Sanshou is composed of Chinese martial arts applications including most aspects
of combat including striking, wrestling and throwing. Sanshou's history involved barehanded fights in which no rules existed. However, as a competitive event sanshou developed in the military as these bouts were commonly held between the soldiers to test and practise barehanded martial skills, ability and techniques. Rules were developed and the use of protective equipment were introduced and today sanshou is a competitive combat sport practiced around the world. The emphasis of Sanshou is on realistic fighting ability taken into the safety of a combat sport environment. Sanshou includes da (punches), ti (kicks), shuai (grappling), and na (throws, locks, chokes). Sanshou unlike other stand up fighting styles has a very great emphasis on throws, precision attacks and counters. Our program is designed for beginners and seasoned practitioners at all levels of training, from recreational to competitive levels. (This program is
