Does anyone know the story behind this kung-fu sparring video?

...at least they are hiting each other, hah. Some of it looks choreographed though. Is it just fully fake?

It mostly looked like legit Sanda/Sanshou fighting to me (striking and takedowns, but no groundfighting) .

The only weird thing about it was the way that last guy falls down at the end of the clip- that looked kind of staged, or something.They weren't wearing any safety gear, either, unlike most Sanda/Sanshou clips I've seen.

Probably a full contact Lei Tai event, but I'm just guessing.

Pretty hilarious, but you know, if it was just after the decades of banning spariring WTF do you expect? I mean, it's a bunch of frail guys, fighting each other, so, anyway- it's still funny.

yeah, it an amature lei tai san shou event from back before china opened up.

I've always wanted the video this clip was made from. It's such a tease.

Heh, it's nice to see the CMA guys learned early that flying kicks are going to get you thrown or knocked on your ass. Oh, ****, wait...
