散打 Sanda
Sanda, also known as Sanshou 散手, brings kicking, striking and throwing together in partner practice.

In the Monk Wise archive, Sanda is described as a way to put martial arts skills and movements into practice. It draws on traditional martial arts alongside ideas from boxing and Thai boxing.
