Sanshou Martial Arts

Should I take Muaythai or Sanshou as both methods of learning a martial art, and health?
There are couple of Muaythai schools around where I live, and one Sanshou school where I want to study, and lose 20 lbs. I personally believe both styles teaches good martial arts techniques where I want to learn and also lose weight. Does anyone know which style has training where it will help my body become more fit?
My advice: go to each school and see whether it provides the kind of training, and the atmosphere where you think you can train, if not comfortably, then at least without unnecessary distractions.
Specific things you might want to look at:
1. How new students are treated by the instructor(s)
2. How instructor(s) react to questions from practitioners
3. How members of the school treat each other (i.e. is there an atmosphere of mutual respect between senior and junior practitioners?)
4. How instructor(s) react to questions from prospective members (i.e. ask them questions, about, say, their affiliation, training method, etc.)
More often than not, it's the atmosphere of a specific school, instead of the style that it teaches, that will ultimately decide whether or not you will find what you are looking for.

Sanshou Fight - 2008 International Chinese Martial Arts
Do most Sanshou kickboxers (have to) learn traditional Kung Fu before Sanshou kickboxing?
I watched and heard of Sanshou from Cung Le and I'm sort of confused.
There are couple of Sanshou schools that teaches traditional Kung Fu styles along with Sanshou that I have seen. I heard that Sanshou isn't really recognized as a "style" like JFJKD. Sanshou is considered a fight format. Sanshou was created from all Kung Fu styles and Sanshou was formed(Am I correct?)
Anyways is it mandatory for Sanshou martial artists to learn a traditional Kung Fu style first or anyone could begin martial arts by being able to choose Sanshou?
What I meant was Sanshou was formed with basic strikes from Kung Fu styles. and it's my guess too.
I have fought in san shou/san da and also teach kung fu. San shou means "free sparring" and was created as a way for different kung fu styles to compete against each other in a regulated format. Most schools will not allow you to train san shou without also learning kung fu also. I make my students take the kung fu before they are allowed to train in san shou. In my experience, people interested in the fighting do not do as well as the ones who have the basic foundation of a traditional martial art. I have met and trained with Cung Le and he is truly a talented martial artist. He started off in Tae Kwon Do and wrestling and then went on to san shou becasue it was full contact and he could throw. He trained with famous Sifu Shaw Liu (who has also trained many other good fighters including UFC fighter Pat Barry). I am not sure if Cung was required to train in kung fu as well.
Eihter way, you should have some experience in a traditional martial art before going into san shou. It really will help you develop your skills as a fighter.

There’s a good reason why the world of Islam rotted away as the Western and Asian civilizations grew. Not to worry, though. If Islam begins to reestablish a threatening foothold in Europe, I will be the first to pass around the collection jar to sponsor Charles Martel’s all-expenses-paid return to Europe in glory to finish the job he first set out to do in 732 AD. I’ll even offer to carry his luggage for him. Maybe we can send Ymar to accompany him as lead samurai and Book as his martial arts drill instructor. I sure hope that he isn’t feeling his age, though. One can get a little moldy after 1,200-something years.
