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. | Neither is Sport MMA, but those guys hurt just like any others in other competitions set with rules. Quote:

There are sweeps and throws, hence my comment about that being where you'll see the chuan fa. San Shou is a sport with rules. No one claimed it was realistic street fighting. | He may think that because it is from China, it isn't a sport.
