Chinese Wrestling: Shuai Jiao

Shuai Jiao is Chinese Wrestling. Classically, it contains everything seen in the standing game of modern Judo, plus strikes and kicks, but without ground work.

Some more modern interpretations have added ground work.

The SJ guys are known to be pretty tough. I'd love to see someone with a solid SJ background in an MMA match.

    You have to watch out for the Mongolian wrestlers (generally speaking, those from Outer are better than those from Inner [part of China)). They also made history in Sumo. But of course MMA is another game, another set of rules.

    I've got my hands full with a bunch of wrestler/bjj guys who are less than half my age!
