[@troutfisher7182]

I recognize a lot of those moves. People don't realize tai chi martial applications are actually quite formidable. I had a tai chi teacher who taught the all martial applications of the form. She was a master at push hands and sparring. The push hands classes were awesome, and super fun. She'd barely touch you, it felt like a butterfly, and you'd go flying across the room. Its all about body alignment. It drove guys nuts because she was barely 5' tall, and unbeatable . She was an international push hands champ.

Firstly, I appreciate you providing the translation. Very thoughtful. Secondly, " And how usage is actually different from the actual practise. " - is a great way to get destroyed when the time to actually fight shows up. You must train how you will fight. All of the successful styles do this (boxing, wrestling, bjj, muay thai, etc.). You cannot train your body one way and expect your muscle memory to correct itself in a fight.

I don't speak one word of any Chinese language, but i think the point of this is not necessarily to 'win a fight' but to show the importance of the Form done correctly, and why hands are open or closed, or why a wrist curl is so important. For Tai Chi practitioners who never wish to get involved in any situation, the roots of the Form in its martial history is critical for the Form to become anything other than slow dancing. This greatly assists that understanding, whether you know what he's saying or not.

This is a wonderful video, with high instructional value. I wish we have this type of videos 40 years ago. Master Chen said something incredibly true, but let me tell you a short story first: In those days, my school's martial arts teacher was a gangster from southern China who won multiple martial arts competition, including the all Formosa (Taiwan) martial arts competition. Because of his wife, he stopped fighting for the triads and taught in our school, and set up a lion dance club as well. For 6 years, my friends and I trained 3-4 hours a day. Some of us were eager to test ourselves and joined rooftop fights on a regular basis, going from one to another (beating other boys, and get beaten up as well). Some joined triads where they get into street fights, get hospitalized and arrested by police etc. Along the way, we picked up Karate and Taekwando and all of us were able to get our black belts pretty easily. It was not till almost 12 years later (when we were in our late 20s) when our teacher told us we have to take a step forward, and he introduced to us a Taichi master. Only 5 of us from the original group of 60+ boys continued for the next few years. Taichi was an eye opener, especially for those grounded on the hard fighting skills. It taught us so many principles that helped us become better martial artists. But as Master Chen said, the funny thing about martial arts is that when you start to become pretty OK at it, when you are able to start formulating your own fighting styles... you lose the urge to prove that you are better than everyone else. You lose the desire to fight in the street when you have become a good fighter. You just want to practice and perfect your skills, and keep yourself healthy and fit. And be a better person. For those condemning Taichi as being useless, I do not blame you - because you are just uninformed and are casually observing the martial arts from a distance. I encourage you to sign up and learn it, instead of being an armchair critic.

The other guys are coaches from Master Chen's school. They all know how to fight, they all love kungfu with their hearts. If somebody doubts that Master Chen ( who won the World Championship in 2007) can fight with taiji-come to the school and try him.

I too have been in Wudangshan for awhile and trained among other styles some Tai ji under Sifu Yuan Xiu Gang , in my opinion I think people should not only talk about which style is the better, but focus on the different purposes they have and which historical time they were developed, for example: for sports, for life, for street, for the ring, for the MMA octagon. Most modern (seen) styles are developed for one vs one fighting and exceeds within their set of rules, for example in MMA ground game is a possibility, ground game doesn´t work equally well when you are outnumbered, locking one person out while his friends kicks you to jello from the sides. There a good hitter style would in most cases work better especially since most bar fights and similar isn´t master vs master but drunk bunch of guys vs usually smaller bunch of drunk guys. Bigger bunch usually being the agressors. Furthermore (hope I dont offend anyone) I experienced my wudang master as a keeper of lore, a person who is trained to keep the heritage of the wudang styles , not a specialist fighter in any specific style, my Sifu with whom I studied Baji gong fu told me that if I wanted to learn to fight with this, I should chose 6 different moves for 6 different situations and train each move for 6 months at a time (many thousand repitations) together with physical flexibility and conditioning training, to be able to properly execute the moves the way they are meant to be, (I personally dont know any western person with patience todo that including myself) but thats what I was told. Besides there is many of the tai ji principles in other styles and some of them has also entered the octagon as I see it. PS: this guy in the video is damn good at what he does IMHO

Many of you have seen Taichi in slow movement. Taichi was first pioneered in Wu dang mountain by a Taoist by the name of Chang san-fung.. Later on it was modified by different school. So Wu dang mountain is where taichi was first originated. Here a Wu dang Taoist instructor carefully demonstrates how the 13 movement in Wu dang taichi can go from slow form to invincible self defense. For those of you who want to see the heart land of Chinese martial art, here is slow and careful demonstration, very rarely seen. This one is genuine. You do not have to understand Chinese to learn. The instructor let you know which one of the 13 movements he will demonstrate first and then apply it to the attacker.

[@david1234lee]

the most powerful defense skill in the world right here!

[@david1234lee]

Wu dang is where taichi was born. This is all really. The defense skill has been copied by experts all over the world!

[@david1234lee]

m taichi in Chinese is pretty imaginary. It means far away, on the extreme and abstract end. Taichi has been viewed both physical and spiritual. but the application can be the best defense in the world. It is used, when necessary, to cripple the attack, to seriously injure or to kill. It is not for state show. If you learn it for health reason, you will be a more reconciled person with great breathing ability and tranquility !

[@david1234lee]

Wudon mountain and the Taoist temples were where taich first originated. The priest was showing how to used the 13 movements in basic taichi.

[@david1234lee]

he started with how to user "simple whip", one of taichi's easiest movement but the real usage is very profound and takes years to understand.

[@rojifox1386]

What most do not seem to notice at all is that he repositions himself in his movements so that the application of physics itself can be noted just in the reallignment in relation to the opponent as well as the attack on the joints. That being said there is so much more to Taichi than that alone; me in my 30's, my Master tapped/punched me once draining all the energy from my whole body neutralizing my strength completely- she was 69 at the time. To understand you would have to practice with someone good as in everything. It was a once in a lifetime chance to study under someone like this.

Sadly the dancing Tai Chi does not much and grows muscles and balance incorrectly. I hope a good teacher appears in your life. It completely changed mine for the better 🙏🏼

[@snakecharmer1542]

It is difficult to apply for real fighting unless the opportunity arises. Even so, you will also easily miss that opportunity unless you have practised diligently for at least five to ten years until it becomes as easy as hitting a mosquito suddenly land on your arm. Only a good master will point out what you missed and why you are being kicked. So now you know why people keep saying it can't apply in a real fight. It depends on how adaptive and fast you are to changing situations and how much you practised on those set movements. The longer you practise the faster it becomes your second nature. And how else you are going to use the movements to fight if you don't even know the purpose of the movements you have been practising. You can't use it to fight because you are not ready yet, because you have not practise enough, because your master can still manage to throw you around, push you to the protective fence, hit you hard and you still don't know how or why you got hit. I have been through this before. My master really hurt you when he picked you to punch and grapple with him. He made you realized you had to practise more because if you had not, you would get hurt more. He would walk right close in front of me and said: "Have you practised your Qigong?" Before I could answer, he already whacked me hard on the chest. I knew he was just testing me. He just wanted to know the Qigong he taught worked for me. His Qigong is also known as Iron Shirt, a combination of external body hardening an internal breathing. In my opinion. Its better to know you are not ready than to give up or think its useless for fighting.

[@MCSPARTAN501]

Here's what I think of these moves: 1:51 Works if your opponent completely commits to an attack. 4:17 Better if you modify it and hit your opponent with something stronger than a palm strike. 6:16 Works fairly well. 7:22 A variant of #3. Modify with a throat chop if your opponent isn't off-balance. 9:14 Looks really inefficient, though it's a solid hit if your opponent isn't expecting it. 10:53 You need to be strong enough to push your opponent away. Not that useful. 12:44 Makes you vulnerable to takedowns. Useful only when your opponent has little or no momentum. 14:33 Good for low blows but makes you somewhat vulnerable in the process. 17:33 Won't work for long against an opponent who's both fast and aggressive. Chain into something else. 19:39 Add a kick to the knee or use when there's a wall behind you. All in all, this stuff probably won't get you that far against a skilled opponent, especially if they want to clinch or submit you. You also have to be really fast yourself so you can sidestep attacks, which is a common theme for most of these moves. That being said, the only way to make any martial arts move work is to spar regularly. If you do full contact sparring, you might find some use out of them.

[@fionatsang9353]

The key to tai chi's effectiveness for combat isn't in the strength of its single strikes or single blocks, but in the way it can compound several fundamental techniques and principles at once to control and disrupt your opponent. This video probably isn't the best representation because his students are trying to hold their positions for the sake of the demonstration; but when they aren't holding static poses, look how much they are staggering about and trying to regain their balance. Tai chi's advantage - which is often underestimated - is its ability to upset an opponent's stability and disrupt their technique. The strongest opponent in the word isn't going to land a hit if their strike is being directed to the side, the forward momentum they committed to their attack is being accentuated by a grappling pull - the 'sticking hands' theory that so many martial arts that emphasis leverage over force utilize - and their feet are being swept out from under them, all in quick succession. It's not one move versus one move, but a compound defence/attack that often incorporates a block, hand strike and a leg sweep in quick succession. While it is mostly defensive, all the targeted attacks it does land are to key vulnerable points, eg. the palm strikes to eyes and solar plexus in quick succession, followed by immediately pulling the opponent off-balance so they fall to the ground. The force of those same strikes is also magnified by using grappling technique to actually pull your opponent into the strike, which is pretty nasty; that added acceleration which increase the damage drastically. The combination is very fluid, adaptable, versatile, and deceptively effective in combat, as 'soft' style are. It expends very little force and requires very little strength, but turns the opponent's own force against them; the force that the opponent expends is actually a large part of what is ultimately used to defeat them.

[@FindingReason4Life]

Mmm you both underestimate what a single strike can do. A palm jab can shatter multiple ribs. A chop well placed with full body weight can render an opponent completely unconscious. It’s reactionary fighting. Like chess. Moving only after your opponent shows their tactics. If they switch mid strike you must be able to switch as well. Simple as that. This man clearly isn’t a fighter. However the technical aspects remain true. A good teacher

[@fionatsang9353]

​@@FindingReason4Life very true. This is probably why tai chi - and many other forms of kung fu - use the technique of chi sau, or 'sticking hands'. It may seem dangerous and counter-intuitive to maintain physical contact with your opponent's forearms - especially since a single strike can be severely damaging or lethal, as you say - but this does what my sifu referred to as 'bridging the gap'. By keeping contact, you can feel your opponent's move as they are making it, react to it instantly and instinctively, take control of their movements (block their strike so if fails, capture and pin their arms, etc.), counter their actions as quickly as possible. My sifu used to say 'if you have to think it's too late'; I would also say that if you are watching for an opponent's attack, you're probably going to be hit by it in the time you register that you see it coming. It's very effective - to this day, I automatically tense when someone touches me on the arm, even harmlessly - though it can be taken too far, a couple of senior students decided to practice detecting an incoming punch with just the hairs on their arm when our sifu wasn't around (which sounds very Spidey and was pretty silly, not to mention any fighter who is less hirsute would be at a disadvantage :P) One of the best ways I can think of describing chi sau is in fencing terms (since I switched hobbies and fence now ;) it's similar to 'prise de fer', or 'the feel of the blade'. If your blade isn't touching you opponent's blade, you have no control over them or any sense of what they will do. If you engage their blade, then you can feel their attack coming by them putting pressure on your blade through theirs; you're already in position to execute a parry or bind, taking control of their blade so you have an opening along which to attack. Chi sau is a very similar principle, except empty-handed, with your forearm in place of the blade. There is a really good tai chi video of Master Adam Hsu where he says 'Chinese like to stay close to their enemy', it's a good way of putting it. A lot of kung fu styles that are geared mostly towards defensive tactics use a lot of close-quarter techniques; considering that in most forms of combat, victory is dependent on who can control the range between combatants best, being able to use your technique optimally inside an opponent's range, to the point of being too close for their comfort, is a very useful thing.

[@gerrekurquidez3044]

This is what I have been trying to say for years. I come from a family who's careers were martial arts in general. When I was 6-7 I started general bujutsu(karatedo, judo, aikido, taido, hojutsu, sojutsu, bojutsuect), western boxing/wrestling, hapkido, and muay thai. By 18 I finished at that and I enrolled myself in kali with arnis/escrima, taekwondo, krav maga and finally through my great uncle's sifu(master), in a local northern shaolin school with a couple southern systems added(hung gar, and choy li fut specifically), zhaobou and sun styles of taijiquan and sun style bagau. I have been told in past, and present, by all teachers/masters that stopping at one or a few fighting styles is asking to get beat, stabbed, or shot in total humiliation. If you train in gongfu/karate/boxing, you cant stay in the kwoon/dojo/gym and expect what you been taught to work fluidly. YOU NEED GENERAL EXPERIENCE. Along with speed, reaction-to-action, bone/tissue conditioning, strength, endurance, and primal movement training. People don't get that, its why most people opt not to learn to fight at all these days and become SJW hipster. Spread the word brother and make it known that you can have the traditional and classical, but theres nothing wrong with splicing them with modern influences to not only make them applicable, but to perserve these arts so that they don't fade or die out in time (unlike china..."sip.ahh")

[@Orbitus007]

You are MMA and not very smart. You can't see that even the ability to use the internal chi flow stands for MMA fighters as well. Not matter your strength, you use that chi flow to execute your strikes. These techniques are resonant to the oldest teachings of the martial arts. Not seeing the origins is a clear indication you never studied these concepts. Instead of trying to fight the old man yourself dumb ass, try to use his intentions to guide your own strength so that you can use the long chi or Dragon chi in order to return the opponents strikes and energy. These guys are from Wudan Shan. The most famous kung fu in all the world. Try to show a little respect for the old master as he opens this video to show you how to relate strikes and tai chi. which is literally trying to work the inner chi forces. Not strikes, not grapples, not MMA dancing like a useless boxer that resembles a gladiator. Hoping for the world to recognize not his intelligence but his stamina as he sacrifices the last of his brain cells for his own broken dreams.

[@emilysadasuhk4125]

The highest form of Marital Arts is Peace, not fighting. We train to cultivate the pearls of wisdom and internal calm so nothing takes us out of our center and we live in a non-reactive way, in the Moment, every moment. Life is only the now. Pride, Greed, Ignorance and Desire are the virtues that are causing humanity to defile this beautiful Gem of a home we live on called Earth, ourselves and each other. Tai Chi teaches us to know the self and the rhythms of nature as integral. This is a playful acceptance of the gifts of living as One. Life is meant to be playful. However, if needed, Tai Chi Chuan, when practiced authentically and correctly, will destroy your opponent. The harder they come, the harder they fall. Do your homework and, please, show some Respect even when you do not understand.

[@iarcheese]

Emily Sadasuhk Then don't try to pass non competitive arts as "higher" which is like a proclaimation that you are superior in some way. When if you stand around doing forms all day you can't expect to do very well against someone who spars with contact. Just because you don't like to seek to test your techniques doesn't make you "higher" than anyone, it just makes you an aestheticist which is basically like saying you got all the fancy guns but don't really have a sense of shooting them. If you don't spar, you get beat up. TMA practitioners like you always have to try and point out that your ONE style is better and "higher" than competitive fighting styles from guys who take a beating everyday to get better, and you guys stand around and dance. Don't undermine other people's styles, especially if you walk into their gym. And you can fight for peace, you know that right? If some dumbshit tries to screw with you or your family take em out, peaceful once again.

Grahame Nicholson Kung fu can be good, but tai chi is aerobics, no sparring. No sparring=shitty at fighting, that's just how it works. If you don't actually practice fighting there's no way you can be any good at it like any other sport. And if you don't treat it like a sport don't pretend to be a fighter.

[@emilysadasuhk4125]

+iarcheese Excuse me, I do spar regularly and have for more than 20 years. In fact, I find it quite fun. Higher, in my comment, truly means it takes more strength to stay calm than it does to fight.

[@snooker9773]

Many people don't even understand taichi. The taichi practice movements are not for real fight. They are just means to allow you to understand, feel, and learn how to coordinate your body and limbs. The core principles of taichi are: 1) Control energy flow in your body to enable power generation instantly (Yang), 2) Coordinate one's body and limb movements to dissipate power from your opponent's attack (Yin), 3) Absorb your opponent's power and change it to your own at a right timing for a counter-attack (Yin to Yang). These principles are not visual. If you understand them well, you don't have to stick to the practice movements, you can apply the principles in any fighting situation, though you don't seem you have already. If you have ever seen taichi boxers in the ring, you will see they fight like any other standing fighting styles. An obvious characteristic of tachi is that it mainly uses throws in counter-attack, rather than throwing back punches and kicks. Don't fancy real taichi fight is like the practice movements.

My forearms smarted for a few days. He even chided me for coming at him too fast-it clearly triggered a subconscious response, and he let me know I could have had bones in my lower arms broken. How did I know? The point? I learned way back that Taijiquan can very well be a defensive fighting martial art. I practice mainly as a form of moving meditation and to keep my old bones, joints, and muscles as limber and flexible as possible.

But the problem is that fighting a person who has not trained and a trained fighter is a totally different situation. A fighter goal is just to beat up somebody in general speaking , but TaiChi doesn't put this goal in the art. And here create a huge difference , and if an art is not willing to do everything to win , you are always on a losing side somehow.

Sometimes it is best to not say anything and seem wise than to speak and remove all doubt. All these "masters" are showing are the fundamentals for those interested. No need to bash a style. For no matter what style you might have studied, it is your heart that determines how effective it is. One may learn to fight but may never have to go to war. The battlefield is life itself. You survive using your combat strategies, and you might have found your calling. Teach, so others may learn. I am neutral and keep a teachable spirit. A thousand thank you to the masters that I learned from. Without their dedication to their truth and art, I would not have found my true self. I I remain who I was before martial arts and have added who I am and have become. Now, I simply am. Be happy.

you can tell you have no idea what your talking about and just repeating what you heard (spreading ignorance). not sure if u know but tai chi has more then a millennia of history if you think for a single second that they cant grapple or take strikes to the face then you are a fool who should delete your comment. think about this. tai chi has been around for more then 1500 years (nearly 2000), it was used in wars where people die by the tons. also tai chi means The Grand Ultimate Fist. hope i helped

[@c2dholla]

Noah G. you think tai chi doesnt use weapons? well you would be wrong. the vast majority of people in those fields are terrible fighters. the thing is mma is much easier to pick up and get good with. tai chi or any other art form takes time to get good with. give a guy a year mma training and another guy a year tai chi, i would bet the mma guy would win. give them 10+ years then i bet the tai chi guy would win. this goes for just about any martial art not just tai chi.

[@c2dholla]

Noah G. thats the thing mix martial arts is just multple forms used together, that is how it should be and how all so called traditional martial arts came to be, they took pieces from others forms and made thier own. but in todays world when you talk mma u are specifically talking about a style of fighting not multple forms put together. which is a flawed thought but that what people mean when that bring up mma. and that is where the problem comes from. which is why people call mma a sport and not what it is "MIXed MARTIAL ARTS". bruce lee entire life was about blending forms. with all that said you are very ignorant to what tai chi is are martial arts in general. good night

[@WhiteHawkmma]

Noah G. I personally think MMA is flawed in some areas, but so is tai chi, so is boxing, so is Kali and every martial art. There is no "best" martial art. As a comment on the rules, it's illegal to hit the throat, eyes, back of the head, and to even grab someone's wrist/hand(no holding gloves at all). That would be a definite game changer for me. My point is, every technique has a time and place. Even if it's flowery, it's still effective under certain circumstances. I do Wing Chun, and I've fought with it and it's definitely a useful art, but it's not the best at long range techniques. There's one of its flaws. See every art has flaws, but it's the one using the art that overcomes them.

[@WhiteHawkmma]

Noah G. The way wing Chun is portrayed on the Internet is different than how it's actually taught. Chi Sau is nothing but an exercise for sensitivity, the real fighting is just straight offence. A good WC guy never plays defensive. Always striking and moving forward to end it quick. It's gotten a bad rep.

I studied taichi and other internals alongside BJJ and several kickboxing styles (Muay Thai, savate). The problem is these guys talk about what someone can do about a linear structured attack, you see the same training in kenpo karate like a movie choreography. Not a resisting opponent. If you don't understand why this matters learn a simple jab slip cross combination and see how hard it is against someone who has their own timing, distance, and desire to win or just try and hit someone with a jab and not get jabbed yourself. Taiji helped me with power, relaxation, balance (against takedowns etc) and recovery. Kickboxing and BJJ taught me how to fight. But I will say internals (specifically not mentioning the lineage I do but not just any taiji is good) personally improved my fighting skill.

As usually - a holy war between TMA and MMA fans. Mostly those who didn't spare for a minute :)) I must admit the Wudang style of Taji presented here is pretty high level. It doesn't mean it can be used in a fight without 100s of hours of sparring. Master Chen will probably lose the fight to a subpar MMA fighter. On another hand, I personally heard a positive feedbacks from boxers/wrestlers about Taji form practice (Chen in my case). The reason is that all martial arts are basically about the same - effective use of human body mechanics. You can see TMA as solfeggio in music. You can be a great musician without it. But every musician will tell you how valuable the knowledge is. TMA would not survive if it was not tested in a real fight for centuries.

This caused my 15% level arm deflection, to amplify in collision forces.. and it nearly shattered his wristbone. The injury swelled up nearly double in size within the hour... and he was in great pains for many nights to follow. MMA is nothing but a collection of already sportized (watered down) arts.. that have been FURTHER watered down, by removing specialized training methods for all of the techs that they "Stole". Its downright laughable, and pathetic. MMA can get a fighter quicker working results, because of its Short-Cut training. However, because of these short-cuts... their fighters are Sloppy, Inaccurate, and Weak. Ive fought against countless fighters.. that are FAR superior, than anyone has ever seen, in the UFC. Im also one of the Rare few Masterclass level practitioners, that have fully mastered everything that I was taught. Ive only met about 5 Masterclass level fighters, in my entire Life. The difference between the average joe casual artists... and a Masterclass fighter, is like the distance between the Earth and Mars. There simply is no comparison...

Very rarely I see a real master of this style. And though I know just a few words in Chinese, I do see how fluent and flawless his moves are. I have practiced Xsing Yi, Ba Gua and Tai Chi. Tai Chi nowadays is considered a lost style - with no good martial application and practiced mostly for health and well being. Still, this master shows real application of the long and slow forms that are often misunderstood and considered to be just gymnastics. Traditional kung fu requires traditional training - the long hours of staying in positions, repetition of techniques, strengthening of the limbs and blocks, chi gong and meditation. And, of course, a good teacher to show you how things work in the system he is teaching you. I say system, because if you remove or change any of the elements that I mentioned, the whole style is ruined. I guess this is what happened to Tai Chi the last few centuries. From a legendary martial practice, it got converted to pointless movements for gymnastics. But this master proves us wrong - the style is still alive, with the application, chi and everything used on time and place. It is a real pleasure to watch these soft but powerful movements and I hope in the future he would train more people and teach them the real Tai Chi practice.

[@what4948]

FYI,White is easy to get in ancient China, just raw cloth before herb or mineral dye, we keep silkworms to make silk for wearing or export. the clothes they wear is called Hanfu(Chinese traditional custom), under mighty influence and power of western culture ,when entering modern society, dresses in China changed into western style except for some ancient religions like Taoism and Buddhism, as well as some minority ethnics. That’s why his wearing is different, the white clothes is called middle coat, just like white shirt in man’s suit, usually white,but other colors are also common, matched with the layers outside. By the way in ancient time we use honey locust’s fruits for cleaning and washing, but now I guess the master would prefer blue moon liquid detergent, it’s smell so good!😂

If it is not effective, that means it could not be applied for real fight !

[@dinhnguyen2110]

His student is still throwing that weak ass lunge-punch that no MMA fighter would throw out of a boxing stance. Movements are still too specific and would not account for a variety of blows. Your guard has to defend against takedowns, jabs, hooks, kicks, etc. The tai chi stance is not good for anything but that same telegraphed movement.

The supreme ultimate art

[@billy_mandalay.]

In one of the techniques, he said "If I were to use fa ching he'd be unconcious", and in another, he kicks the guy down and he says, "that's alright, he's falling on the soft grass" lol. This WuTang taichi instructor's techniques are crisp and efficient. And this is simply a video about the function of the postures. So please don't write dumb comments about this not being a real fight video. Fools only want to see brawls, but not appreciate the place of techniques of ANY KIND. That is like complaining army boot camp is not real combat. WHAT is the point of such a deliberately silly attitude ?

[@dwightgaston6079]

And believing that this is a real fight is how these masters get their faces rearranged in 10 seconds.

[@jassimarsingh6505]

[@mike-vg6hl]

bro, tai chi is perfection, also they train wushu and other more capable to beat your ass arts.

[@TheOmegaozzy]

@@mike-vg6hl Naw man, there’s a amateur MMA fighter on youtube from China that wipes the floor with these masters. This type of martial arts is good for your health and mind, but if you try this in a professional fight it’s over.

[@lukatrdina5108]

@@TheOmegaozzy The mma fighter is fighting fake masters, not real masters. I also dont really think tai chi is effective for street fights, but i do believe something like wing chun can improve your fighting, just dont stick to it like a blind fool and you can get a lot out of it, as many mma fighters do, but it takes time :)

[@TheOmegaozzy]

@@lukatrdina5108 I agree, but just like you said taichi or wingchun or kungfu is useless by itself but can improve an MMA fighter in certain aspects. Also, it wasn’t fake masters, Xiaodong is the fighters name and he is suppressed and was forced to apologize for a month and wear crown makeup because he beat these real masters with real schools and real students. It’s not just him, there are hundreds of videos of MMA fighters destroying masters.

[@ericseverin-cd2fi]

Where's the real fight? Oh yeah, the real fight is in their head 😅😂😂😂

[@dominiccampbell181]

For anyone who thinks this isn't a legit style, I'd advise watching 'Tai Chi Fighting......Awesome!', 'Master Xu YiZhen TaiChiChuan Sparring' and '1 Touch KO's & Combat Tai Chi - free seminar Peoria IL 2012'.

[@mintyfresh4855]

thanks those are good videos to look at. I will look into tai chi more.

[@deepvoiceman4913]

1 touch Ko's are entirely possible. I have never practiced Tai chi, But I have practiced shotokan karate as well as jujitsu, and I have seen it happen multiple times. It's not a question of how hard you strike, but how precise your strikes are. You simply need to know where to strike, and your opponent will collapse, even if he is 7 ft tall and well built.

[@deepvoiceman4913]

Patrick Bateman Hahaha! I have never seen a 7 foot tall person either, I was just using it as an example to say that even the toughest people can't withstand a precise strike to, let's say, the throat or the diaphragm. Ah yes, I just assumed they were talking about strikes. Although, there are many claims in old texts as well as more recent ones that state that you can theoretically defeat a person with a single touch, but it generally deals with the mastery and control of chi, which is, at its core, energy. I think we'll have to agree to disagree on the whole "knowing where to strike" part though. I guess different teachers have different teachings :)

[@dominiccampbell181]

DeepVoice Man I don't think it's fake though. Isn't there supposed to be a way to hit someone in the nose or chest that can kill them instantly?

[@deepvoiceman4913]

Dominic Campbell hitting someone in the nose from beneath with a palm strike can in theory force the bridge of the nose through the skull and into to brain, therefore killing them (I've never tried it myself) I don't know about the chest though.

[@shuozhang9732]

So the title of this video is misleading, for all you people who don't know Chinese, this is tutorial video of the application of Tai Chi in real fight. They are just demonstrating how different fundamental forms may be used in real fights. Just like when your boxing instructor/trainer shows you how to spar and how to hit a focus mitt with a combo for the first time.

[@ElfInflicted]

I see so many videos with deliberately misleading titles, but now I see it's just a translation error from someone who's English isn't fully developed yet. Thanks for the clarification!

[@shuozhang9732]

ElfInflicted No problem, I saw a lot of conflicts in the comments due to this title. Hopefully this clarification will help

Yes we can only imagine and pay them money to teach us, because unfortunately these masters would never risk losing by accepting Challenges.

Great job Master Chen! I love the world of martial arts. And a little advice to all friends out there, try also sparing after training or demonstrations, because it's like that you handle with single letters or words but your goal is a poem of movements in a stress situation. so keep calm and stay focused. peace

[@roderik4]

From the title, one would expect to see a real fight at some point

[@seraphinaaizen6278]

Taichi is functionally useless in a real fight. The odds are you will never see it being used in a real fight. I have seen some real fighters successfully graft some of the techniques found in taichi into a more functional martial art, like wrestling (taichi is clearly meant to be a grappling style. The reason why none of the con-artists peddling it today realize this and try to make it about striking is because nobody has used taichi to fight for centuries and nobody has any real idea what it looks like), but I've never seen anyone actually use "taichi" itself as a fighting style. Trying to fight with Taichi, and traditional martial arts in general, is like trying to have a conversation in Latin. It's a dead language. And even though there are some people who can read it, we don't really know exactly what it sounded like and even two people who understand it can't really have a conversation in it. They can just mimic a conversation. Taichi is much the same; it's a dead martial art. Nobody has practiced it for real in centuries, nobody knows what these techniques really looked like when they were first developed or how they were meant to be applied, and nobody really knows how to use taichi in a fight anymore.
