Wushu Sanshou is composed of Chinese martial arts applications including most aspects of combat including striking and grappling, however when Wushu Sanshou was developed as a sport, restrictions were made for safety reasons as well as to promote it as a non-violent sport. Examples of such restrictions included no blows delivered to the back of the head, throat, spine or groin and the discontinuation of the combat when any of the fighters fall to the ground. However many schools, whether traditional or modern, practice it as an all-round martial arts system with no restrictions, only adapting their training in relation to competition rules prior to the event.<sup id=\"cite_ref-6\" class=\"reference\"><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sanshou#cite_note-6\">[6]<\/a><\/sup>Sanshou tournaments are one of the two disciplines recognized by the\u00a0<a title=\"International Wushu Federation\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/International_Wushu_Federation\">International Wushu Federation<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Wushu Sanshou&#8217;s competitive history involved barehanded or\u00a0<a title=\"Lei tai\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Lei_tai\">lei tai<\/a>\u00a0fights in which no rules existed. However, even sanshou as a competitive event developed in the military as these bouts were commonly held between the soldiers to test and practice barehanded martial skills, ability and techniques. Rules were developed and the use of protective gloves etc. was adopted. It was originally used by the\u00a0<a title=\"Kuomintang\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Kuomintang\">Kuomintang<\/a>\u00a0at the first modern military academy in Whampoa in the 1920s.<sup id=\"cite_ref-7\" class=\"reference\"><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sanshou#cite_note-7\">[7]<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0Later it was also adopted as a method by the\u00a0<a title=\"People's Liberation Army\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/People%27s_Liberation_Army\">People&#8217;s Liberation Army<\/a>\u00a0of China.<\/p>\n<p>One can see Wushu Sanshou as a synthesis of traditional Chinese fighting techniques into a more amorphous system and is commonly taught alongside traditional Chinese styles, from which Wushu Sanshou techniques, theory and training methods are derived. The emphasis of Sanshou is on a more amorphous fighting ability.<sup id=\"cite_ref-8\" class=\"reference\"><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sanshou#cite_note-8\">[8]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Sport_variation\" class=\"mw-headline\">Sport variation<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>Y\u00f9nd\u00f2ng S\u01cend\u01ce (Pinyin, Sport Free Fighting), or Jingzheng S\u01cend\u01ce (Mandarin Chinese, Pinyin Free Fighting)<\/b>: A modern fighting method, sport, and applicable component of Wushu \/ Kung Fu influenced by traditional Chinese Boxing, of which takedowns &amp; throws are legal in competition, as well as all other sorts of striking (use of arms &amp; legs).

It has all the combat aspects of wushu.<\/p>\n<p>Sanda appears much like Kickboxing but includes many more grappling techniques. Sanda fighting competitions are often held alongside taolu or form competitions. Sanda represents the modern development of Lei Tai contests, but with rules in place to reduce the chance of serious injury. Many Chinese martial art schools teach or work within the rule sets of Sanda, working to incorporate the movements, characteristics, and theory of their style.<\/p>\n<p>Chinese martial artists also compete in non-Chinese or mixed combat sports, including boxing, kickboxing and\u00a0<a title=\"Mixed martial arts\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mixed_martial_arts\">mixed martial arts<\/a>. Sanda is practiced in tournaments and is normally held alongside taolu events in wushu competition. For safety reasons, some techniques from the self-defense form such as elbow strikes, chokes, and joint locks, are not allowed during tournaments. Competitors can win by knockout or points which are earned by landing strikes to the body or head, throwing an opponent, or when competition is held on a raised lei tai platform, pushing them off the platform. Fighters are only allowed to clinch for a few seconds. If the clinch is not broken by the fighters, and if neither succeeds in throwing his opponent within the time limit, the referee will break the clinch. In the U.S., competitions are held either in boxing rings or on the raised lei tai platform. Amateur fighters wear protective gear.<\/p>\n<p><b>&#8220;Amateur Sanda&#8221;<\/b>\u00a0allows kicks, punches, knees (not to the head), and throws. A competition held in China, called the &#8220;King of Sanda&#8221;, is held in a ring similar to a boxing ring in design but larger in dimension. As professionals, they wear no protective gear except for gloves, cup, and mouthpiece, and\u00a0<b>&#8220;Professional Sanda&#8221;<\/b>\u00a0allows knee strikes (including to the head) as well as kicking, punching and throwing.<\/p>\n<p>Some Sanda fighters have participated in fighting tournaments such as\u00a0<a title=\"K-1\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/K-1\">K-1<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a class=\"mw-redirect\" title=\"Shoot Boxing\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Shoot_Boxing\">Shoot Boxing<\/a>. They have had some degree of success, especially in Shoot boxing competitions, which is more similar to Sanda.
