Getting out of the ring is a common scoring tactic in professional sanda matches.
The historical changes under the ring
In ancient Chinese folk competitions, the lower ring was often used. There are also relevant descriptions in "Water Margin" and "Sui and Tang Heroes", "Yan Qing Fighting", "Qin Qiong Fighting Beiping", which has become a good story for many popular people.
8 meters × 8 meters square ring, there is professional cushion protection under the stage. Sanda athletes can beat their opponents out of the ring through sanda techniques such as "fist and leg wrestling" during the competition.
In 1998, the rules of the martial arts sanda competition stipulated that in each round, the person who dropped the ring twice was the loser of the round. The score in the lower ring changed from 3 points at the beginning to 4 points, and finally from 4 points to 2 points, and the 2 points are still retained.

The lower ring was once "abused", and many athletes pulled each other, pushed the bull, and delayed the game. Starting in 2019, the rules of the martial arts sanda competition specifically state that in sanda competitions, only those who rely on sanda techniques such as "fist and leg wrestling" can score points.

In 2000, the Chinese Martial Arts Sanda King Championship was launched, which was a new attempt at Professional Sanda in China. The competition was changed from "8 meters × 8 meters square ring" to a rope ring. The lower ring was preserved, creating many "famous scenes".

On June 24, 2000, in the 75 kg class of the 14th week of the Chinese Wushu Sanda King Championship, "Jade Face Little Dharma" Zheng Yuhao faced Liang Yingchen, the "Sword Laugh".
During the match, Zheng Yuhao used a hug to throw Liang Yingchen out of the ring. Saying that it was too late and fast, the referees Li Shiying, Du Zhengao, and Zhang Hongbiao worked together to "save" Liang Yingchen so that they would not roll over to the stage.

In addition to the light and middleweights, there were also cases of rope wrestling in the heavyweight field. Sanda Wang was above 85 kilograms, and the Northern Sports Brigade", "Laughing Three Young", An Hu, fought against Chen Ruijie, the "Flower Gun Taibao" of the Chengdu Sports Academy.

After the match, the Thai side lodged complaints and protests. They argue that:
The way of hugging and falling out of the ring is unacceptable, causing great damage to the body and mind of the players, and such actions should be prohibited in future competitions.
In the Rules of competition for the Chinese Martial Arts Sanda King Championship (Revised Edition 2001), "intentionally throwing the opponent out of the ring" is listed as an "invasive foul" together with "hitting the opponent's forbidden parts", "biting the opponent with teeth", and "attacking the head of the fallen party with the leg method".
Since then, the professional sanda has completely bid farewell to the stage of history under the ring.
