| Fighting in the Malaysian Fighting Championships (MFC) Brooklyn Monk, Antonio Graceffo, cross trains with San Da champion and formidable MMA fighter, Raymond Tiew.
San Da, Chinese kick boxing, has many advantages over Muay Thai. Since most MMA fighters have cross trained in Muay Thai, a San Da fighter has the advantage of looking different and surprising his opponent with unexpected attacks. San Da utilizes more straight kicks than most Muay Thai, with knockouts often coming from straight kicks to the head and face. San Da fighters are experts at catching an opponent's kick and throwing him. Most MMA fighters would then follow the man to the ground and win by choke, submission, or ground and pound. Raymond prefers to remain standing and punch the downed opponent.
One of the coolest techniques in San Da is the lift and throw, the body slam.
The primary advantage that Muay Thai fighters have had over San Da fighters in MMA has been experience. There are more opportunities for Muay Thai guys to fight each year than there are for San Da fighters, unless they live in China. But the art, San Da, is worth taking a look at.
