Is there or has there ever been any Kung Fu style fighters in K-1?

maybe some obscure san shou/sanda guy, no names off the top of my head though.

Xu Yan fought this past week, maybe he did some Sanshou before.

Tony Valente.

Also, Xu Yan is a sanda champ. There've been random sanda guys in the regional tournaments, but they've mostly been canon fodder.

This guy who fought Kaoklai was a sanda heavyweight champion.

I think Patrick Barry said he did kung fu perviously, but I might be wrong.

I'd say Tony Valente is the closest thing to Kung Fu that we have seen. Straight out of a Bruce Lee movie. Wasn't all that effective tho...

Barry did San Shou.

Chen Qing "lost" to Su Joeing Lim at K-1 WGP Final 16 recently.

Also, Xu Yan just won at K-1 Max.

Zheng Yuhao and Wei Shou Lei have had some fights in Japanese Shootfighting,

There's also been a couple other Sanda fighters in K-1 recently, mostly prelims, none of them famous in China, but they're coming slowly to Japan.
