Original SANSHU UK Hoodies
Due to popular request we have released the official SANSHU UK hoodies for winter and cold weather training. The are also good to wear after class to keep warm upon leaving the training grounds.
NEW SANSHOU SHORTS!
We are please to announce the new customized SANSHU UK sanshou/mma shorts! The shorts also include shifus sponsors logo.
Sanshou rules state that the competitor must either wear red or black therefore we chosen black as our clubs main colour. These specially embroidered shorts can be used for both training and competitions.
We will be competing next year in amateur MMA, Sanshou and K1

Life is too short
Here is one for the older students and parents
Every morning take a step back, sit down to breakfast and take a
sip/bite of your food, relax, to remind yourself of who you are before you step
into the world of “this is who we think you are” and "this is what we want you to be".
It’s great for the soul. :)

Its all in the hands
It’s all in the hands!
I’ve found the condition, the texture, the thickness, the shape all give you an idea of the level of the instructor (for hard styles).
I first realized this when I was introduced to the Shaolin Monks when they visited the UK to perform (I did some demos with them in south east london), each and every monk had calluses on their hands. I guess this was built up from tireless practise, palm striking, knuckle push ups and lots of external qi gong.
Now I know this has no implication with regards to the quality of forms or techniques but it does show the instructor to be dedicated to various aspects of his/her training (unless they have been working in construction for the last 10 years .... or on a farm).
I have observed the same hand ‘mods’ on boxers, Thai fighters and various other style teachers.
So the first thing you should do is run into your club grab you teachers hands ....... have a good look .......... apologise.......... and do some pushups!
