In a Sanda kickboxing bout, fighters employ a mix of powerful strikes, kicks, and dynamic takedowns to dominate their opponents. Common striking techniques include fast, straight punches like jabs and crosses, as well as powerful hooks and uppercuts to break through an opponent's guard. Kicks play a crucial role, with roundhouse kicks targeting the legs, body, or head, and sidekicks used for maintaining distance or pushing an opponent off balance. One of Sanda’s signature elements is its emphasis on wrestling-style throws and sweeps, such as hip throws, leg sweeps, and shoulder throws, which can score points or create openings for follow-up attacks. Fighters also employ strategic footwork and counterattacks, using feints and angles to evade strikes and set up their own offensive combinations. The blend of striking and grappling makes Sanda kickboxing a dynamic and unpredictable combat sport.
As an integral part of most Chinese Kung Fu competitions, Sanshou has been an important event in World Kung Fu Championships and Sanda competitions are held in more than seventy countries abroad nowadays. The rules of Sanda permit full contact punching, kicking, takedowns and throws derived from the traditional application of Chinese martial arts.
