Lead leg side kicks are still used heavily in sanshou to this day, my knee is going kaput because of it!

It is true sanshou sidekicks became popular because of Bruce Lee, but it has evolved alot from his days. Sanshou sidekicks are thrown predominantly from the lead leg and are different from those of other arts, china's version and those from other parts of the world are also different from each other. Each has its own merit, but predominantly meant for speed than power.

Like all techniques in any ring sport, it goes through a trend like aviator sunglasses., today it may be popular, in 3 years it fads out due to more counters and predictability from opponents. Then it will come back again in another round and become popular. I think for a while, sidekicks were easy to catch, because of heavy emphasis on training to catch it.

To your earlier post, I use a slim 6 foot banana bag, I stop using heavy bags since I stop competing.

It shouldn't be any difference to performance, I have been using twins for about 5 years and going, no issues there. The sanshou gloves are generally very rounded and the wrist brace is softer, to encourage more freedom in grabbing, but they wear out faster. The only gloves you should not buy are training gloves as the glove is flat at the knuckles and have a thick wrist brace, it is not conducive for falling and can be dangerous especially if you are being thrown over the shoulder.

What is your weight? Anyone above 70kg uses 10oz and 80z for below by IWUF standard. IMHO, they should increase the glove weight for those above 95kg to 12oz.

yes you turn your body sideways on so you have no follow up, if you miss are hugely exposed and also its quite easy to counter if you know how i.e move in rather than move away .... hence why its not used in MMA, MT etc etc

I have to disagree with your opinion on sidekicks (but this is a forum where we can agree or disagree without being judge). I would have agreed with you once upon a time when I was still learning my sidekicks, but that was 14 years ago. The sidekick we do in sanshou requires us to throw it fast and recover fast without getting caught and being a mile away after hitting the target. There are little follow up or set up for it, more like a one hit wonder when the opportunity strikes.

Saying that, I have sparred with a 5th dan BB in Okinawan goju ryu sensei, I have got my fair share of his karate sidekicks and it did hurt after landing from my flight. So I will not say what art or technique is better, but how well you use it.

Hi all, I notice this old post has been floating on the net for the longest time and the information really old. But Strike Combat is well and alive and growing!

It has been a full circle and we have moved from Chinatown to Judo Federation in Guillemard Road and back again to Chinatown, but even bigger and stronger than before. \\:D/

I have added the link below to the other post for your reference of where we are located now:

Also this is our offical webapage: www.strike-combat.com
