I trained at an HME workshop learning Taichi with Adam's brother! I was wrong about Adam Mizner!

I was in Brussels, Belgium, last week and this weekend visiting an old school friend. I was fortunate to attend a workshop taught by Gabriel Mizner. The experience made me realize that I was wrong about Mizner. Will be posting breakdowns of what I learned this week and check out my Instagram www.instagram.... as I will posting up my adventure overseas there.
Please double check the date of this video of it being posted and published. To make it clear, it's an April Fools joke.

[@orbanbalazs5357]

I don't have an opinion about Mizner, but i respect you for going to his workshop to form an opinion, and also i respect anyone who admits that they were wrong! happy to see that you have learned something.

wow massive respect! There is so much poor Taichi out there that it is very easy to dismiss it. But you went and tried it and was open minded. This makes you a very rare individual. JuJitsu is a great art I love it and if you are able to incorporate the Lessons from HME it will enhance it all the more. If you get the chance to train with his senior students like Curtis Brough you will get a lot out out of it. Wish you success in your martial journey. Respect to all.

[@24X7CARZ]

Keyboard warriors who’ve only trained externally: “I can tell this is BS from a video.” Internal martial artists since the dawn of the internet: “You have to experience it in person to understand.” Once you get captured and unbalanced by legitimate peng-jin and other internal skills, life is never the same! Recommend you train with Adam when/if you can. If you want to experience BJJ, judo, other aspects of MMA, weapons, and combatives at a high internal skills level, find and train with Dan Harden (Sangenkai). Sounds too good to be true? You know what I’m going to say next. EDIT: Apparently this video was for an April Fool’s joke. OK. Editing this post and leaving the relevant portions intact, and happy to stand behind them.

You should only apologize for being rude, but not for doubting the likes of Adam Mizner or anyone of the several internal martial arts practitioners because ITS ENTIRELY THEIR FAULT FOR SECLUDING THEMSELVES FROM THE MASSES AND CREATING AND MAINTAINING AN UNPROVEN AND HIGHLY OBSCURE MYSTERY OF THEIR ART INSTEAD OF SHOWING THE REALITY OF IT IN A POPULAR SETTING THUS DISMISSING THE ERRONEOUS CLAIMS OF SKEPTICS! Till one brave and integral soul who practices internal martial arts steps up to show the reality of his art, it will sadly remain a mystery instead of changing the world for the better. 😳🤦🏻‍♂️🙄/👌✌️🤲☝️🤔

[@JustSomeGuy69420]

Unfortunately you are 100% right. I do not think it will be traditional martial artists who save their styles/systems. I have pretty much lost faith in most of them and I'm not holding my breath for them to step up and make their techniques more practical. I think it will be curious and open minded sport grapplers and strikers. Already beginning to see more and more of it. Those people are always looking for an edge, so they will start looking at Tai Chi, Kung Fu, Aikido, Karate, etc... Karate has already somewhat been resurrected from the dead. When I was younger it was in this weird McDojo phase. Still is, but you have guys like Machida and Steven Thompson now, and probably some others I'm not aware of. Trust me I'd love to see some 60 year old kung fu practioner step up and start wrecking dudes...or some Aikido guy get a clue and start cranking some arms off in the cage. Totally possible. I just think it will probably be a grappler or MMA fighter who will do it first. Traditional guys are too concerned with being...TRADITIONAL.

I used to study Tai Chi, and I'd been "Miznered" before 25 years ago by other Tai Chi guys with the real deal training.

[@AndrewYouTubehandle]

Great to hear someone have an open mind based on hands on experience. Certainly a lot better than those who direct either hatred or aversion to someone without even experience. That says more about the person directing anger than it does any intended target. And even more so for someone who has years of martial arts training, which is so much more than learning how to cause harm to others, which in the deepest sense of martial arts helps one to reduce and extinguish their own violence whether physically, verbally or mind. I have no doubt that Adam Milner can do what he shows on KZbin and more. Respect 🙏 And neat Belgium moustache.

You are inverting the tradition. You're only not being a fool in April. And it's interesting that some part of your soul felt the need to apologise about it publicly. Maybe the part or you that knows martial arts has a valuable element of learning how to be humble and respectful with each other. And with other teachers and peers even if you don't align with or understand what they do. As is part of the beauty and discipline of character that is part of the Japanese arts that your art has it's roots in.

La difficulté pour un non pratiquant " confirmé " c'est de pouvoir voir la différence entre du tai chi efficient et du ressemblant à du tai chi où on vois des projections plus que douteuses , mais faire la différence entre les 2 , pas facile . Je pratique depuis 18 ans et parfois je me trompe encore sur ce que je vois ...alors ceux qui ne pratique pas ,comment leur en vouloir d' être ironique.

[@onemanstampede9881]

Not a basis for an argument. When someone would see unnatural hopping around as a reaction or unnecessary flips, the demand for more substantial evidence outside of demonstrations is needed but is not being produced. It would literally take a video with some tests with a known skeptic to prove either side wrong.

[@petermoore5689]

No idea what to think about Mizner but for someone to talk about fakery & then fake humility just to milk another man’s reputation is pretty low. The Marcel Marceau moustache speaks volumes: Cocky Clown. Why not grow a pair of balls & actually go challenge the man if you’re so certain of your prowess? If his power proves to be Bulshido Im sure you’ll earn money, if not maybe something much more valuable. Until then, seems to me the joke’s on you.

[@fudomyoomina]

Clearly, this is an April Fool's joke. Because you still haven't worked up the courage to actually meet Mizner. But when it does, at least you'll know what to say in the video after your date. What you have recorded here is a very good sample. You'll just have to rewrite it, but with a much more sincere apology to Adam. The important thing is that, even in jest, you are already approaching this reality. :)

[@onemanstampede9881]

🤦‍♂️

[@onemanstampede9881]

That whole thing of actually apologizing isn't going to happen and we both know it's because of his fraudulent practice and unwillingness to provide better evidence.

[@fudomyoomina]

@@onemanstampede9881 We both know the best proof is to actually go live and see if his practice is fake. And then, of course, you'll film those apologies a lot more sincerely. I count on you to muster up the courage and do what any self-respecting person should do if they want to be more than just a KZbin troll and stand by their words. I stand by mine - if you meet Mizner live and check it out, you'll surely record such an apology video afterward. Because, after all, unlike that not-so-mentally gifted clown from "In Defense of Traditional Martial Arts" (who doesn't even know what a traditional martial art is), you still seem like a decent person to me. I will await your meeting with Mizner.

Interesting. I'm not sure what to think about your experience. I've watched several of your videos about Adam and I was in agreement with your skepticism, but now I'm just puzzled. I've seen other people rail against any number of things and then, for one reason or another, do a complete turnaround and become true believers. I'm not suggesting that you didn't have a completely convincing experience, I'm just wondering if there is some underlying mechanism between your skepticism and your conversion that has you convinced. It's just a question, not an accusation. I do hope that you will pursue your new found interest in Adam's teachings. His workshops are out of my reach, and honestly I'm not terribly interested in the combat aspect of tai chi, but I am interested in interpretation of energy as it moves through one's body.
