Mr ikfmdc,

I was there and the Chinese was no match for the Thais. Look at my name clearly, I am Chinese and I practised Chinese Kung Fu long before I did Muaythai. Why did I switch to Muaythai???? Because I saw my kungfu buddies destroyed by the Thais in the early seventies in Kuala Lumpur and in Bangkok. I am not a "traitor" but I am just being practical. Chines Kungfu is good for a lot of things but definately not for the ring. Sanshou is a recent creation of the Chinese for reasons which I would not like to get into. They have some great fighters but I still feel that it will be many years before the Chinese can match the Thais.

One must also be aware that the two styles have different rules and to compareis like comparing apples with oranges. One point I like to make is that the Thais (and the Chinese too) wore elbow pads!!! Why??? If the Thais had to fight Sanshou rules in China, the Chinese should fight full Thai rules in thailand (without elbow pads).

This is my opinion and I am sure you will come back with excuses but please bear in mind that I have vast experience in both so it is no point arguing your points with me. Like I say, I AM JUST BEING PRACTICAL
