Sanda
Sanda is a new modern Wushu variety which is based on the tradition of martial arts. Attack is the essence of Wushu. In ancient times, there were combative contests. In view of the development of Wushu both at home and abroad, the Chinese Wushu Association made extensive investigations and practices before making Sanda an official competition event.
The first international Sanshou invitational tournament was staged the 1998 International Wushu Festival. In Sanda the contestants compete with such techniques as kicking, hitting and wrestling under certain regulations. They are permitted to use both hands and feet, which facilitates flexible moves and tricks. To keep themselves safe, they have to wear safety gear (head gear, boxing gloves, groin cover and shin guards).
