MMA is not popular in Taiwan. But Sanda/Sanshou is popular there. This is my guys did in Taiwan (2006).LOL, no. Only someone who lacks real fighting experience would say this. A real fight never goes the way a sparring session does.
If your kwoon has you guys donning MMA gloves and getting into the cage, then I'll give you that. Anything short of that isn't gonna cut the mustard.
