Choy Li Fut vs Tai Chi

[@JoseLopez-to2mr]

By the look of this, both fighters have little experience, but what the heck. They are there on the mat texting themselves and that's pretty good. You can't blame them for that. We all started that way

[@digitalcamaro9708]

I agree with you. One of the pitfalls of Kung Fu now is the lack of pressure testing vs other martial arts. I learned a lot about it during our sparring sessions. Chicken wing blocks suck, elbow blocks work, chain punch sucks, sun punch works, stuffing kicks is really effective, etc. Good on them for that.

All Kung Fu schools should teach Sanda ( Chinese kick boxing) & Shuai jaio ( Chinese wrestling) & Chin Na ( joint locks) while teaching their systems, because it takes waaaaay too long to be able to be proficient in utilizing complex systems in a an actual fight. Especially if you’re not actually fighting. Stop the madness! This comes from a someone who has practiced Wing Chun for over 20 plus years . I use boxing & Muay Thai in actual fights I have had on the streets & bars as a bouncer , Wing Chun only once I’ve closed the distance & it’s usually only a punch or an elbow . Sifus teach your students how to actually fight!

We should do a conversation about your martial arts journey on zoom if you’re down! I’ll put it on fight commentary chats.

[@hungsingkwoonusa650]

i do

[@ThePurussaurus]

Both fighters obviously do not have too much experience, but hey - they are stepping on the mat and trying to test their abilities. Kudos to that. If they keep it up maybe their styles might be starting to shine through one day.

[@hungsingkwoonusa650]

i agree with that. about the experience part. fighting is def a little different in china. not so developed. but choy lee fut in america have remedied that for our lineages

[@Brykk]

Tai chi guy looks like we see so many times, like he hesitates to strike like he has to have some kind of set up before he can strike. Instead of just being reactionary and fluid, its like he is just trying to be too structured, which leaves him waiting for the perfect time to strike. His hesitation is to his detriment.

[@donaldnewell4868]

These are two guys who’ve never even sparred hard before. What the heck!

[@fis-tarts]

Taijiquan(not Tai Chi) means "Grand Ultimate Fist" far as I know. According to Guan Nan Wang(TriEssence Martial Arts), modern Tai Chi is a system born out of people not knowing the purpose of Taijiquan. Imagine if someone tried to present taekwondo as a wrestling art? According to what I've heard, it's an accurate comparison.

[@jestfullgremblim8002]

Taichi does not mean that

[@cagemachine2492]

And to get caught up on "fist"....nah

[@championboy4782]

@@jestfullgremblim8002 Taiji-quan, not Tai Chi. Quan pronounced 'chen' translated as 'fist' or 'boxing', it is a term used for Striking arts. Xing-Yi-Quan Form-Intent-Fist Ba-ji-quan Eight-Direction-Fist Tong-Bei-quan White-Ape-Fist Hoenslty... Taiji and Tai chi Might as well be 2 different systems at this point. But that's my opinion.

[@tonbonthemon]

Taijiquan = Taiji (Grand Ultimate i.e. Yin Yang) + Quan (fist). The literal translation is misleading, it's more like Yin-Yang Fist.

[@assoverteakettle]

Meh...that's a bit pedantic. It's all just different spellings of romanized translations and an umbrella term. If you want to get literal them write it in Pinyin. Wing chun, wing tsun, and ving chun can all claim stylistic differences with their spelling and we can get all pedantic about it but it's all just wing chun.

[@MrCBTman]

You failed to acknowledge several strikes landed by Tai Chi guy.

[@jacksmith4460]

yep

[@ryanliu494]

a lot of wrestlers like myself miss the grappling from a striking scenario that hopefully taichi can fill but i rlly dont see it from this guy

[@monarch1651]

Tai chi standing grappling techniques only work if the dude was gonna miss you with a strike anyway. If you get clipped it just puts you in a bad undefendable position with your hands down/out

[@DarxydeDefi]

I hope these guys are inexperienced. Because if they're not... ahem.

[@hungsingkwoonusa650]

Choy Lee Fut typically favors the right hand. But some of us chose to put the power hand forward. and we generally use a Side stance guard.

[@zeus-io3hn]

Guys tell me is this real tai chi?😂 There is no pushing hand.

[@太炫]

古人在設計武術上是非常有邏輯.1把武學變成套路.換成現代科學去看.就是練肌肉記憶跟有氧運動.時間都在早上樹林陽光的地方.剛好形成.氧氣多紅外線多的一個修練場所.然後配合上一些石輪跟重兵器做重量訓練.發力運用.然後古代學功夫的又要兼具醫術面相.懂得吃懂得看自己身體問題.是不是符合現代營養學.如今的更好.因為有些誤差都可以透過網路查詢.可如今怎還一堆廢物功夫練習者

Tai Chi Guy could be good but he's got zero conditioning and tunnel vision.

In martial arts, internalizing techniques is crucial for effective close-quarters application, particularly in stand-up grappling and trapping scenarios. The concept of energy drilling-training methods that emphasize sensitivity to an opponent's force and movement-plays a vital role in these contexts. **Energy Drilling:** Energy drilling involves repetitive practice to develop tactile sensitivity and responsiveness to an opponent’s energy or force. This method allows practitioners to "feel" the direction, intensity, and intention of an adversary's movement, enabling quick and appropriate counteractions. This is particularly important in close-quarter combat, where reading the opponent's energy helps in making split-second decisions. **Importance in Stand-Up Grappling:** In stand-up grappling, energy drilling enhances the practitioner's ability to maintain balance, apply control, and execute techniques like throws or joint locks effectively. By internalizing the skill to interpret an opponent’s energy, martial artists can adapt their responses dynamically, countering or redirecting force rather than relying on brute strength. **Relevance to Trapping:** In trapping, which involves immobilizing or controlling an opponent's limbs to create openings, the understanding of energy is essential. Techniques like "sticky hands" from Wing Chun or similar drills in other martial arts focus on maintaining contact and interpreting pressure changes. This allows practitioners to trap and control effectively, manipulating the adversary’s movements by exploiting subtle shifts in their energy. Without internalizing these skills through consistent energy drilling, techniques remain mechanical and lack the adaptability needed for real-world close-quarters scenarios. Thus, mastering the flow and feel of an opponent’s energy through dedicated drilling is fundamental to the effectiveness of grappling and trapping applications in martial arts.

[@Autonamatonamaton]

Ngl i kinda wanna go to China and clean some of these boys up 😅 where do you even find these amateur kung fu competitions? In like local sports halls or something?

[@zefligsamdoo]

Bro... The effusive joy you take in these videos is so infectious. Haha! You've got me smiling and giggling right along with you. Even while appreciating your killer color commentary! Keep dishing gold, friend! 😂

[@FightCommentary]

Thanks man!!

[@MrDemicio]

In my honest opinion not every martial art was built for combat maybe some martial arts was for flow and mental health

[@rayray6490]

Sao Chui is what they call the wide arc looping strikes in Cantonese. They hit with either the fist or the forearm. That style basically turn haymakers into a art form

[@khamariblair4898]

Doesn't look like neither one of those two arts. Looks like regular street fighting.

[@hanyhj]

No martial arts here, just kids' play.

[@airthrowDBT]

These guys are aggressive, and fit and both seem to have decent speed...which means they'd probably be decent fighters if they studied under more practical systems. No critique here these guys are doing it.

[@DreanPetruza]

And I thought my amateur ITF fights were lame.

[@farkinarkin5099]

Didn't see any particular style. Yes, jab or at least feint it. Camera was giving me a headache. 🙂

[@jdubthaking]

Funny how all that training doesn't translate to sparring. They should just do mma.

[@BodhiKhan1]

This isn't Choi Li Fut vs Tai Chi, it's 2 inexperienced kickboxers or mma guys throwing down....

[@hungsingkwoonusa650]

why? cause they don't look like they're doing forms> LMAO people like you are so typical

[@gauloisasterix5460]

Aucun intérêt ils sont tellement nul tout les deux 🙄

[@lelieutenant7386]

it looked like two kids having a dispute lmao

[@DEAD4LIVE]

Never seen two fighters represent their martial arts like this😂😂😂

[@Purwapada]

lol both were so bad. I like CLF, and its the style dont by Lord Shen in kung fu panda (best villain in my opinion haha). wish we saw some peng, lu, ji, an, mechanics (掤 捋 擠 按) in the taiji guy. these guys just seem to do whatever and call it tai chi
