I respect any fighter regardless of style or even skill level as a fighter.

I have nothing against San Shou.

Getting hit in the groin is very common in Thailand so don't go talking about on purpose. You can be counted out/kicked out of the ring if you don't want to fight after a groin shot.

We seemed to know that thows would be allowed.

My bud Somsak is fighting in Vagas. Its no elbows. if he knows that(not sure that he does) and then gets there and says he can fight elbows...hey great I don't see the problem.

I am not going to go on about MuayThai vs San Shou rather the implications of foul play and what I may think of some of your arguements.

I don't recall ever seeing a Thai upset from getting pushed in the face(in a fight). The other may simply show respect after. The one resieving knows its a fight. I think this is just something you threw in from reading somewhere about Thai culture. But in the ring its a fight.

So what do the Chinese have that makes it disrespectful to hit someone in the groin that Thailand or any other country doesn't have? I don't know that much about Chinese culture, though I lived in Singapore for 7 months I still don't know that much. What is there thats different from Thailand or the rest of the world? please enlighten me.

Fights fight. I like a good fight and I respect any fighter as a fighter. I still think MuayThai is stronger but thats just my opinion.
