Do most Sanshou kickboxers (have to) learn traditional Kung Fu before Sanshou kickboxing?
I watched and heard of Sanshou from Cung Le and I'm sort of confused.
There are couple of Sanshou schools that teaches traditional Kung Fu styles along with Sanshou that I have seen. I heard that Sanshou isn't really recognized as a "style" like JFJKD. Sanshou is considered a fight format. Sanshou was created from all Kung Fu styles and Sanshou was formed(Am I correct?)
Anyways is it mandatory for Sanshou martial artists to learn a traditional Kung Fu style first or anyone could begin martial arts by being able to choose Sanshou?
What I meant was Sanshou was formed with basic strikes from Kung Fu styles. and it's my guess too.
I have fought in san shou/san da and also teach kung fu. San shou means "free sparring" and was created as a way for different kung fu styles to compete against each other in a regulated format. Most schools will not allow you to train san shou without also learning kung fu also. I make my students take the kung fu before they are allowed to train in san shou. In my experience, people interested in the fighting do not do as well as the ones who have the basic foundation of a traditional martial art. I have met and trained with Cung Le and he is truly a talented martial artist. He started off in Tae Kwon Do and wrestling and then went on to san shou becasue it was full contact and he could throw. He trained with famous Sifu Shaw Liu (who has also trained many other good fighters including UFC fighter Pat Barry). I am not sure if Cung was required to train in kung fu as well.
Eihter way, you should have some experience in a traditional martial art before going into san shou. It really will help you develop your skills as a fighter.
