    barehanded fighting rings in china? true or false?

    Ok, here is a quick question...

    some people have claimed that they fought in bare handed fighting rings in China... if this is the case, isn't it illegal, and moreover a "cage" fight" without any ligit certification by the Chinese government?

    San Da is a better format.

    they tried bare hand or with garden gloves on to avoid scractching or pinching from nails in the 80's at Kuo Shu meet in Taiwan.

    a lot of "fatality" or injuries occured. not a pretty picture.

    they quickly changed the rules the very next year.

    There was an American guy who made up a martial art called Cheng Hsin and wrote an interesting book based on it......Peter Ralston....who said he was in the last full contact martial arts tournament in China, and he was the first non-Asian guy to win it.

    I've run searches everywhere to find info on that tournament, and on Peter Ralston. I couldn't find anything.

    I'm not saying it's BS, 'cuz I don't know. But why isn't there info on it? Anyone know?

    The book actually has good training/rooting tips. I've never actuallly "seen" Cheng Hsin though. It sounds like a bunch of internal arts bundled together. But if he won a full contact tourney with it....it would seem legit, right?
