Is it just due to being beaten up for 3 rounds that it didn’t click in his head that Tenshin was about to do some showboaty move after doing a pro-wrestling taunt?

Well Burma has been a regional pariah for ages now. They have a lot of people and this is their martial art. I assume there is a decent amount of local talent as I doubt lethwei fighters have really been given a green light to travel or train much elsewhere. I have no idea how the Cambodian striking scene is structured but if they tap into that as well I think they could have a decent amount of talented fighters on their roster. Throwing money at middling Thais could always work too.

So where can I find the burmese versions of petjeeja, chommanee, sawsing, saifa, loma etc,,

I dont recognize anyone on the card but I'll just quote my old post.

Seltzer posted:

Glory 33 was a really fun event. I recommend anyone attending if they run near you. A few notes- the one negative was that the arena was only about 50% full. Of that 50% only about 25% seemed like they were kickboxing fans, the rest seemed to be there to watch people get beat up for only 30 bucks. UFC events have a lot more knowledgeable people or at least casually knowledgeable people in my experience. Essentially, the atmosphere could've been better but it did get loud for the bigger fights. I don't know why they ran in Trenton in the first place. It's not really a fight town in and it's basically right in between two massive markets that they probably would have done better business running a show in. We showed up a little after 9 right in time for the Parry vs McDonald fight which was perfect imo because the card went on quite awhile and the rest of the undercard looked pretty trash. The upside of the event being thinly attended and long was that security didn't give a gently caress and we walked down to seats incredibly close to the ring a few matches in. Every fight we saw was awesome except for Gerges vs Inocente.

Two main highlights 1- Wilnis vs Marcus 2- A drunken man in his 50's dressed like he just came from a horse track proclaiming "New Jersey is the best country in the world". :agreed:

The World Sanda championships are going on now in Shanghai. In honor of Duncan who thought the matches were really entertaining, I'll wade through and post stuff I think is cool.
For now, here's a guy I fought in 2016 (and got handled by his throws and overall wrestling):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NAK-Ld7hW44&t=14959s
McKenzie is fighting pretty much how he did 2 years ago -- not a very active striker but likes the lead kick, good at timing into a takedown if you telegraph a committed kick, doesn't really care about distance cuz his tie-up is really good, likes to stall out from there. Not super fast, but he looks faster here than against me.

His opponent is on the low end of the skill spectrum for worlds, and McKenzie's kick catch counters could have won him the fight pretty handily, but he just left off the gas in the 3rd in crucial moments.
That's sort of sanda for you -- the lead can change very quickly without you spending a lot of energy or even hurting your opponent.

Funny enough, he got counted on a groin kick just like I did on my first fight.

Just watching them on the organizing federation's channel:
http://youtube.com/user/iwufwushu/videos
Note that the Sanda events are being held in conjunction with various wushu form competitions.

e: I have two posts on the ruleset and scoring in sanshou:
https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3630848&userid=118079&perpage=40&pagenumber=2#post476988189

"sanda" is sometimes used to refer to the pro ruleset, which has knees and is scored by who won the round instead of technique points, and is usually in a ring. This is mostly to entice other kickboxers to have a larger competition field.
But in this event, sanda is just sanshou.

Quick scoring rundown followed by a goofy self-inflicted slide off the platform:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4mwZEP_mSA&t=1595s
The plastic canvas is only just grippy enough, so it's very easy to not be able to stop yourself from sliding off that last meter of danger zone before the edge of the leitai.

e2: oh, same as last worlds, one of the announcers is the fuckin ref who gave me the 8 count for getting kicked in the balls (it's a small sport so they're hurting for anyone to commentate on it).

This is a fun takedown:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4mwZEP_mSA&t=3391s
The big gloves give you some different grip options from wrestling or mma. Blue traps the lead hand under her armpit, using the bulk and texture of the glove as a handle, and then keeps her other arm free to reap the leg as she throws red over her back.

More standard 2 on 1 arm throw:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4mwZEP_mSA&t=3430s

e: blue making the rookie mistake of staying out past the yellow line and pays for it, stepping off with one foot after that spinning backfist:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4mwZEP_mSA&t=4567s
The sidekick was a stylish finisher.

Fight goes into round 3 (so tied 1-1) and coming to the end of the round very close. Each fighter is trying to find one winning exchange to take the round.
Red throws a lead round kick to try to hit the body without much engagement, but it's too telegraphed.
Blue catches the heel, feints the punch to the head and steps in to kick out the red's support leg, but comes up short as red hops back.
Red's kicking foot is free and plants far out, giving him the base to wrench blue backwards for the takedown.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4mwZEP_mSA&t=11876s
There's some flurries from blue at the end that I think could easily have been called, but were not.


This is a good showcase fight. Red dominates with a variety of kick catches and smart ring tactics.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4mwZEP_mSA&t=12770s


The only fight where one fighter landed heavily enough to get multiple standing counts (watch through the end of the fight):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4mwZEP_mSA&t=14205s
From the world championships I've watched, winning on hard striking is not a common strategy. It seems risk in terms of energy expenditure.

ok, watched through the first session of Day 1 there.

ok, finally got back to watching.

Sweet takedown to counter blue trying to do something by switching to southpaw:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w17hN2Jd3Ec&t=4837s
Sanshou fighters' ability to take a lovely bent over at the waist body lock and do something with it amazes me.
The kid from the US was pretty mediocre when I last went to nationals, but he developed enough to take his weight class. Just not nearly enough for the world stage.

Didn't see the succeeding throw coming at all:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w17hN2Jd3Ec&t=5144s

Very fancy and high energy setup for that takedown, but it worked:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w17hN2Jd3Ec&t=6172s

The mercy rule is at a 12 pt differential. There's live scoring somewhere within view of the fighters, I think. The announcers can see it, but it's not overlaid on the stream, unfortunately:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w17hN2Jd3Ec&t=6500s

Interesting bit of ruleset tactics by blue:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w17hN2Jd3Ec&t=7562s
To make sure red doesn't stay on his feet and score 2 for the throw, blue turks red's leg on the way up to ground red, to reduce the throw to 1 point.


When it's two Western Europeans, you're bound to see mostly kickboxing, as that's the training backgrounds of the fighters. Less charitably, they washed out of being competitive in those sports.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w17hN2Jd3Ec&t=8135s
1:22 for amusing lack of ring awareness, 0:39 to lose the round by 2 ring outs in the round.

Very efficient ring out victory rounds, in 50s of total fight time:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w17hN2Jd3Ec&t=11642s
Even though wrestling takes a lot of energy, it's undeniably a good way to go if your edge lets you cut rounds short.

It was JLB being decently fast but pretty chinny and not being able to take down Datsik like I expected even a fairly reduced JLB should have been able to do.
