Cung Le Sanshou: The Complete Fighting System

Two things I always look for in a martial arts book or DVD are techniques that are street applicable and a fighting style that will baffle opponents through its uniqueness. Cung Le Sanshou: The Complete Fighting System definitely covers both of these requirements, and includes dynamic striking combos, side kick attacks and counter attacks, high-amplitude throws, devastating takedowns and sweeps, and Sanshou drills.

Ken Twaddell, a leading international martial arts authority, says of Cung Le: “His style of fighting is technically simplistic yet explosive and brutally practical. I met Le at the 2006 Martial Arts Super Show in Las Vegas, and I admire what he has achieved through doing the extra yards and constantly improving his skills.

“Sanshou is one of my favorite combat styles and a total package featuring kickboxing strikes plus sweeps, takedowns and submissions. The lead-leg side kick is the most utilized kick in Sanshou and is often used in conjunction with punches to set up sweeps and takedowns. Cung Le’s special blend of kickboxing and Shuai Jiao (Chinese wrestling) provides a lethal combat system,” says Twaddell.

Born in Saigon, Vietnam, Cung Le moved to California when just two years old and was forced to take up self-defense lessons due to being a victim of constant schoolyard bullying. Le went on to become a kickboxing champion, MMA champion, and IKF Light Heavyweight Sanshou World Champion. On March 29, 2009, Le proved to the world he was a genuine article when he defeated Strikeforce Middleweight Champion, Frank Shamrock, by TKO after breaking Frank’s right arm with a kick.

Cung Le Sanshou: The Complete Fighting System is 260 pages of powerhouse coaching by the master himself. And as the back cover states, “Whether your goal is to learn a proven system of self-defense or broaden your fighting style, this book is for you.”
