When did Sanda come into being? Thank you, everyone.
Sanda, also known as Sanshou, is a form of martial arts confrontation and has a long history in China. Historically, unarmed combat was mostly carried out on the stage, also known as "beating". In order to inherit the national tradition and promote Chinese Wushu, the State Sports Commission decided to carry out Sanda training and competition research in 1979, and made it an official sports competition in 1989. 1993 was listed as the event of the National Games and the 2nd World Wushu Championship, and 1998 became the event of the 13th Asian Games. Modern Sanda is a sport that integrates fighting, competition and entertainment on the basis of inheriting and drawing lessons from traditional Wushu techniques and combining offensive and defensive techniques such as kicking, hitting and wrestling. As a national sport, Sanda has mushroomed in the motherland. Today's famous events are: China Sanda King Championship, China Kung Fu vs American Professional Boxing, China Sanda vs Professional Muay Thai, which are almost household names. Many excellent Sanda athletes, such as Liu Hailong, Baoligao, Chen Chao, etc., have also become household names and loved by everyone, and Sanda is becoming the most national and popular brand event in sports.
