Over the years, from the first tournaments organised by the International Chinese Kuoshu Federation in the 1950s to the most recent tournaments organised by the World Kuo Shu Federation, the Lei Tai has maintained an amateur status.
Today, Pro Kuo Shu (UK) Ltd in association with the Chinese Kuoshu Institute (UK) will take the Lei Tai onto the professional stage. And, in a return, to the ancient tradition, only the very best martial artists will have the privilege of fighting on the professional Lei Tai, EXCLUSIVELY @ The Martial Arts Show!
The Lei Tai (擂臺) has a proud tradition spanning back to the dawn of Chinese history. In ancient times, the Lei Tai was the platform on which the very best martial artists fought duels - sometimes to the death. Today, the modern Lei Tai maintains the tradition of two fighters on a raised platform with rules that allow the use of: Ti (踢) Kicking; Da (打) Striking; Shuai (摔) Grappling and Throwing; Na (拿) Seizing. |
