An hour?! Not that I can't do it, but sheesh, the boredom! LOL
I am really bad with names and now I'm on a med that one of the side effects can be forgetfullness  Do you know how mad a wife can get when you forget her mother's name, even for a moment? It makes for a great excuse for why I didn't do the dishes though  |
San shou isn't kickboxing. You can wrestle for take downs,throws, and employ every sweep in your arsenal. Muay Thai won't let you do that; neither will Euro/American kickboxing. The only thing I don't like about san shou is that you can't use wrist locks because of the gloves, so that takes out at least half of my best techniques.
Also, it isn't realistic, because you can't bite, break someone's wrist, sock them in the groin, or rip their ear off when they go for a throw.
