hwo many years ur invovled in kungfu don't impress me. many ppl have done it 30 years , does it matter to me? the more you do kungfu, the more biased you are towards it.
people learn kungfu because they are brainwashed by the media and myths, nto cuz tis effectiveness. no one like kungfu because of statistics.
i didn't say san shou has no links. i said it does,sna shou was created cuz kungfu kept losing to MT, was it not? i just said san shou ISN"T kungfu due to its philosphy, goals, etc.
heck,does kungfu believe in competition? does kungfu believe forms are worthless? does kungfu suceed to prove itself? nope. san shou does. why do u say san sou is kung fu? what do they have in common?
tjat link u sent, says that san shou is struggling to survive popularity in china. i'm not suprised. traditional chinse people (who are the majority of china chinese) don't want to beleive this certain style, where u wait, think, KICK, punch straight, block, is an effective style. they like to see tiger punch, mantis flop, ape fist, panda butt.
