Chinese Grappling: Shuaijiao

Steven Zoll · 2021-02-11T14:47:30+00:00

I found a post on Facebook by Black Belt Magazine about a Chinese style of grappling: Shuaijiao (also spelled Shuai-Chiao). The article states "It is a standup grappling style, meaning that although there are hip throws, leg sweeps, and hand techniques, like many other arts, there is no ground grappling. The goal of Shuaijiao is to end up in a dominant position standing." I've never heard of it. I was just curious if any of you have trained in this style and if so, your thoughts. https://blackbeltmag.com/shuaijiao-chinese-grappling

That’s probably true for me too. I just imagined two women cooking and cleaning for me, but I need to remember that I do all the cleaning, so adding another woman would probably just double my work.

Never put yourself in a no win situation they will end up teaming up.. Never willingly take a 2 on 1 match

Tim Cartmell in Orange Country, CA is supposed to be another knowledgeable practitioner of ShauiJiao and is also a BJJ black belt. I remember trying to ask him a bit about it back in the MySpace days but he didn't really seem to want to talk much about it. though maybe my questions sucked.

A friend of mine trained with him and I visited his school once. One thing I can say is, from the 20sec conversation he has with his wife, he speaks good Chinese so I'd imagine if you had any questions about any literature or conversations he would have the ability to translate/articulate it.
