Why Sanda is not a traditional martial art?

Sanda is a martial arts event in which two people use offensive and defensive techniques such as kicking, hitting and falling to subdue each other with their bare hands according to certain rules. It is an important part of China Wushu.

But Sanda mainly refers to modern Sanda rather than ancient Sanshou, so it is considered by some people not to be a traditional martial art.

As the earliest development of Sanda in ancient times, Sanshou should be able to fight against single and weapon or multi-person fighting, attacking with head, fingers, palm, fist, elbow, shoulder, knee, leg, hip and arm. The main techniques are hitting, kicking, taking, falling and falling, among which elbow and knee are techniques. Pay attention to surprise in war, not seeking flowers, but seeking victory and being practical.

Modern Sanda is a common attack and defense technique consisting of straight boxing, swinging boxing, copying boxing, whipping boxing, kicking, kicking and throwing.

Sanda has no routines, only single strokes and combinations.
