Some of the most delusional martial artists I’ve seen were Wing Chunners. They think they can beat any style, but they usually lose to Muay Thai fighters, but they claim their style is effective but ONLY for street fighting. What do you guys think about and rate these kung-fu styles when it comes to effectiveness:
Sǎndǎ ), formerly Sanshou (Chinese: 散手; pinyin: Sǎnshǒu ), also known as Chinese boxing or Chinese kickboxing , is the official Chinese full contact combat sport.[2] Sanda is a fighting system which was originally developed by the Chinese military based upon the study and practices of traditional Kung fu and modern combat fighting techniques
Sanda it’s a tournament format, not a style per se. I know they use Shuai Jiao (Chinese wrestling) and probably some techniques from Kung-Fu, but most of their techniques looks very similar to Muay Thai.
MMA sparring with any level pure TMA guy is usually a walk in the park. But I used to train with a Wing Chun guy who was an absolute motherfucker. He just had a gift for it.
