How Legends Trained.

I notice a big interest among martial fans loving to read about how certain martial art idol of theirs train & so I decided why not just have a post dedicated to some of these fighting legends. 

So let me start off with a few great legends for this post.

Sanda Wushu fight videos @ SABAH FULL CONTACT CHALLENGE 2011

I got a private message from the organiser of the SABAH FULL CONTACT CHALLENGE (SFCC) after they saw yesterday's blog & they told me that there are more videos posted online if the readers are interested to see.

The videos below are some of the fights recorded that day. Mainly all have Sanda Wushu fighters (thus the takedown attack style). To me this is interesting as I have always heard about Sanda Kick Boxing but never knew that we had Sanda Wushu fighters around Sabah.
