Mark L, I've addressed most if not all of what is said, people just like the answers. Even though the Thailand event resulted in a "win" for Muay Thai, the other two events were "wins" for San Shou, so why all the gloating and carrying on? Is Muay Thai strong and good? OF COURSE IT IS. I just can't stand the zombie mentality, like the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu zombies. This overwhelming, pathelogical, obsessive need to believe that Muay Thai is "best" and to try and explain away any time a Muay Thai fighter has a loss

Niether myself not ANY san Shou person started a thread here to "gloat" after the first or second event. Instead, you saw a lot of Muay Thai people complaining and carrying on about how they weren't real wins and trying to tear down San Shou. And when a San Shou fighter even wins in Thailand, the zombie mentality is that "oh, he must have used Muay Thai to win". My community is sick and tired of hearing the Muay Thai people claim everything in the sun was created by them... get over it.

As long as human beings have two arms with joints called elbows, two legs with joints called knees, the ability to ball up their fists and a desire to smack eachother around then they will develop to a certain degree the same sorts of techniques. Muay Thai didn't invent knee strikes and leg kicks anymore than San Shou invented throws.

Ignorance is bliss to the fanatic, ignorant of the facts they can go on believing that everyone is simply copying their favorit art and they can believe in the "unbeatableness" of that art. But the idea that a San Shou person can not beat a Muay Thai person is no more real than the idea of chi blasts that blow chickens up at 30 yards
