short history of San Shou, originally was a MILITARY training method. Military people obviously aren't interested in points, they are interested in FIGHITNG to live... From 1927 to around 1980 San Shou was strictly military activity. NO one else was allowed to do it. You could even be put in prison for having San Shou books or teaching it to non military.

Russians and former Soviets got exposed to San Shou by military exchanges, politics dictated for a long time that Russians and Chinese military would have exchanges. Most if not all Russian and former Soviet San Shou fighters of early day (coaches NOW) trained with Chinese military in military academies

Same for many other non-Chinese countries. My teacher = ex military

ie outside of China many if not most programs are military = POWER flavor

In 1980, Chinese gov't decided to make San Shou a SPORT and present it on world stage, set up SPORT academies, etc

National team and many King of San Da guys are from this SPORT = POINT flavor
