More San Shou/San Da coverage in KFTC magazine?

[quickjab]

I would like to see more coverage of San Shou/San Da in Kung Fu magazine. Some profiles of the top fighters all over the world, some articles on the best gyms, etc... I think its crazy that your competitor, Inside Kung FU has a monthly Muay Thai section, but rarely covers San Shou. More coverage will help the sport grow and show people more of the sport fighting side of CMA.

Hot Ring girls in bikinis and high heels would do a lot for the sport

We don't really do profiles in our magazine nor do we rate the 'best' schools or anything like that. It's tempting, because it's a way to sell magazines, but a lot of that is really covert advertising. Money and favors change hands and such. And it has a lot of backlash if some one is left out. In a similar vein, we don't do 'martial artist of the year' things either.

To be frank, sanda isn't that big. We're hoping it grows and have been supporting it strongly for years. But right now, it's in the shadow of other sports like MMA, Muay Thai and of course, TKD. In terms of sparring games, it's low man on the totem pole. That's too bad, because personally (aside from my bias towards things Chinese) I find it a great spectator sport. Nothing like watching some one get dumped off the leitai. That being said, I'd like to see more sanda articles too. One major factor that inhibits more sanda articles is that sanda players don't seem to write much. There's only a few that I've seen that can write a decent piece and those submissions are few and far in between.

I didn't see you guys at the Sanshou tournament in Akron this past weekend (at least not that I knew of).

I was at the tournament in Akron and fought in the Sanshou.It is one of my favorite sports and I hope it continues to grows.
