Chinese People

Learn Chinese Sanshou - also called Sanda (Chinese Boxing) - at a quiet and peaceful place located in the Yuntai Mountain in a fantastic vicinity near shaolin, the origin of all martial arts. All trainers trained wushu since childhood. Of course they have a lot of teaching experience and speak Chinese and English language. Sanda is a modern Chinese, hand to hand self-defense system and combat sport.

AIM

This unique Chinese Martial Arts program is designed to immerse participants in Sanda (Chinese Boxing). At the origin of of all martial arts you will train Chinese boxing like the famous shaolin monks. The trainers themselves trained many years in shaolin  so they have a lot of experience how to fight.

The emphasis of Sanda is on realistic fighting ability. It focuses on punches, kicks and wrestling. Its aggressiveness enables one to fight very effectively against any other martial arts styles.

Sanda still follows the fundamental rules in Chinese kung fu. Softness against Hardness. This means that when fighting against a taekwondo fighter, fight him very closely disallowing him to take effective kicking strikes whereas with a Thaiboxer, use wrestling skills to overcome his superiority in knee strikes and hardcore defence.

Practicing Sanda develops physical and mental fitness, mental agility and mental concentration. In addition, practicing Sanda improves strength and self-defense skills. Training focuses on: fitness training, stance training for balance, strength, repetition of movements for power and speed.
