Dynamo,

In your post you act like you know a lot about San Da but clearly you do not. The King of San Da circuit is professional San Da, and has existed in China now for close to three years. The government certainly allows it, the idea that a Communist regime doesn't have professional sport died in China in the 80's! China now adopts what they refer to as a "Socialist Market Economy".

Like some sort of drone, you fall back on the argument "There is no way the thais will loose"

But didn't they? They lost in China, one of them lost in Thailand this time.

But like most drones, when there is a loss you fall back on the argument that either they were not "the best" or that the rules matter. So is Muay Thai only "the best" when elbows are allowed? The Draka fights were with throws and knees. San Shou won 8 out of 9 matches.

China usually is not strong beyond 65 KG, and usually dominate 56 and 58 KG. San Shou's amateur world championships are held every two years, so those who won more than two world championships ago may not be still active. But from the last two world championships China has Shang Xiaobang who won a silver medal, Chen Lijie who won a gold, Zhao who won a gold, a few others I am probably forgetting. None of them fought in Thailand this time did they? In fact, the timing of the event was not good for the best amateurs as the last world amateur championship just concluded this November.

The Chinese Wushu Association informed me that the fighters who fought in Thailand have not even fought in the world championships, much less placed

"Lulurtu guy is the top"
According to you maybe? Why do you say this? Never fought in the world championships, isn't a current King of San Da professional champion?

A true professional vs professional match would have put the King of San Da circuit people against the Thai fighters. Why they didn't do this an put amateurs in as well I do not know. Why they put amateurs in who are not on top of the sport I don't know either. But you can look at the results of the last two world championships and see that none of those champions fought in this event
