INITIATION TO WUSHU SPORTS COMBAT
«The ultimate essence in the practice of martial arts is combat. Each combat is so uncertain and unattainable, so elusive and unpredictable, that nothing can be predetermined, it would lose its fantasy and originality. We can fine-tune each of its elements (kicks, blows, etc.), but the form must remain as empty as the mind itself, victory and defeat are nothing more than circumstantial elements with which we move and that have nothing to do with it. influence to express what will constitute the essence of combat.”

Sanda is one of the sports modalities within Wushu, a sports discipline recognized as such through the IWUF by the IOC in 2002. Wushu encompasses the different Chinese martial methods in the field of sport. Within Wushu, Sanda appears as a sport combat modality in which athletes of different martial styles can participate under a single regulation. It is considered a very rich and powerful sporting combat style, which contains a wide technical, tactical and strategic spectrum, of great spectacularity and enormous media coverage.
The idea of combat in the field of sport conditions it based on the rules that are established.
The sports framework ensures the safety of the athlete and promotes the values of the activity above victory at any price.
Rules, refereeing equipment and athletes educated and trained in the art of combat allow you to enjoy all the potential approach that regulated fighting brings to the traditional martial artist.
Although there are many variables in terms of categories and regulations, this can be a reference of the typical combat categories in this modality:
1. 48kg (<48kg)
two. 52kg (>48kg – <52kg)
3. 56kg (>52kg – <56kg)
Four. 60kg (>56kg – <60kg)
5. 65kg (>60kg – <65kg)
6. 70kg (>65kg – <70kg)
7. 75kg (>70kg – <75kg)
8. 85kg (>80kg – <85kg)
9. 90kg (>85kg – <90kg)
10.>90kg
Although its historical background is very old, Sanda, as we know it today, was treated for the first time as a sport in the National Martial Arts Championships in 1989 held in Jiangxi, China.
Since then, as a modality, it has been in constant evolution, as evidenced by its first official inclusion as a sporting modality in the 2nd World Wushu Championship held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, in 1993.
Later, with the first Sanda World Cup in 2002 held in Shanghai (China), it was consolidated as a modality with great international representation and aroused enormous interest among combat modalities, a position it continues to maintain to date.
There are multiple organizations that promote Sanda, both at the amateur level and at the professional level. Federations, associations and organizations of sporting events have grasped the development potential of this magnificent sporting combat modality.
The total of techniques included in the sports arsenal of the discipline can be grouped into four sets. Said classification responds to the different patterns of action that occur at the moment of combat, taking into account their active nature against the opponent; as well as the way in which our biodynamic structure intervenes in contact situations.
These four groups are:
•Da: Hit and defense techniques performed with the upper limbs.
•Ti: Hit and defense techniques performed with the lower limbs.
•Na: Holding techniques, immobilization, push/mobilization and control of the opponent.
•Shuai: Destabilization/imbalance, sweep and projection techniques.
These four groups apply differently to the musculoskeletal system. Despite this, for actions in which more than one element is combined, it is very complex to specify exactly where the individual intervention of each combined element begins and ends.

The practice of Sanda requires a series of materials that guarantee the safety of the athlete and that allow, among other aspects, to explore the maximum offensive and defensive potential of the system.
The usual protections for training are shin guards with instep protection, cup, boxing gloves and mouth guard. In the case of girls, a protective breastplate is necessary.
For practicing in competition, the helmet and the protective bib are included in this protection pack.
THE SANDA IN WUSHU UNIVERSITY
Sanda sessions are the sports practice complement that we establish for our traditional Kung Fu students.
They are sessions of an hour and a half weekly in which all the technical, tactical and strategic elements of the modality are addressed, as well as the specific physical preparation required.
Our periodized approach starts from an annual competitive assumption for which a general work plan is configured purely sports.
All students participating in the activity prepare as if they were going to compete in the test, although their attendance is not mandatory. We use the appointment of the competition as a reference to display the program of six annual mesocycles that we project within the framework of the discipline.
Students interested in competing join the school competition team. This team complements the work of these sessions with a personalized practice program specially designed for this test.
