Muay Thai Vs San Shou (sanda)

[Cullion]

Some Lei Tai competitions allow elbows and knees. In the UK there's a nascent Kuo Shu league allowing elbows and knees, MMA gloves and 5 seconds on the ground.

there also seems to be a trend here in tournaments to have (body) knees in normal sanda and shinpads instead of body padding, without head gear.

still, some of the rules are a bit weird e.g. 2 times out of bounds loses the round and encourage going for points.
