So throws/takedowns are taught later then? Is this because striking is more important (in San Shou) or because your students compete in other formats and can use the kickboxing skills in any of them (well not boxing, only the boxing skills there =)

Well, by this level (level two) you have single leg, double leg and front body lock, and those are probably the most successful throws anyway. However, in general we teach hit to set up the throws and have found that when you work too many throws at first guys lower their head and just rush in to try and throw. Against people who know what they are doing, you get HIT doing this :)

Regarding competing in other formats, San Shou is all about adapting to win/survive. All you have to do is understand the "game" and have some tools that fit the game. Al Mitchell, former US olympic boxing teach coach, told me recently that he took a guy all the way to a silver at the nationals with just a jab. The guy didn't have a good hook or cross (ie no power) and uppercuts don't score much currently. But the guy was fast and had good footwork.

what's a front body lock?

thanks

ttt for anyone that cares?

I'm still here =)

oh, a front body lock in San Shou

put your arms around the person from the front. Around the waist, Lock the hands at the small of the back. Bend them forward so they fall backward

also called something like "ogre steals the maiden" in Muay Thai I believe
