I'm fairly new to Sanshou/Sanda, but what I've noticed is that, often times, Sanda fighters are much lighter on their feet than, lets say, muay thai fighters. They also have wider stances and use in and out movement more often.
Do you think point system of Sanshou/Sanda matches is the reason why their footwork and stance resembles point-style karate?
