The most basic meaning of san shou - free hands is: barehand fighting without rules. The same term is used for combative competition formulas of various styles and organizations of Chinese martial arts. The specific rules can differ, but generally it is stand up fighting with use of hitting, kicking, sweeping, throwing and pushing opponent out from the fight area (or platform).
