[@kweaver2459]

So how does it feel to study and teach something that is completely useless?

[@Nothing-zw3yd]

I started studying Yang style Tai Chi a couple months ago, and I lucked out with my teacher... we go through the meditative form, then afterward, he'll walk me through the fighting application of each step of the form. I really enjoy both. I'm looking forward to progressing enough to start with the sword form! On a side note, one of my best friends has been studying karate for decades, and I said I bet I could push him down... he said no way. My teacher taught me the method to push down to break their plane (shoulder and hip), then push out to get them off their feet... worked like a charm!

[@ravindusithuvam1800]

Yes.....

[@colinfrye3829]

Quite honestly, having a Yang teacher who even knows the combat applications is pretty amazing, consider yourself lucky! I recommend looking into Chen style if you like the fighting applications, but that's just my opinion and experience.

Tai chi is fantastic for self defense, it's just that you have to spend 5 years on basics and qi-building exercises before you get to the combat. Keep practicing with your friends, and work on all that internal stuff on the side.

[@Davoda2]

Tai Chi is a physical exercise, not a martial art. Maybe that could be it.

[@DanaWhiteOfficial]

Davoda 1 technically, it is a martial art. There are many internal martial arts that are popular or originate in China. They’re called neijia, and they’re usually for self defense and/or meditation and health benefits. They’re all based around qi (or chi), which in simple terms, is the flow of energy. However, Tai Chi and other qi-related martial art matches are sometimes full contact with strikes and takedowns. This video was advertised as such

[@Davoda2]

@@DanaWhiteOfficial Tai Chi is not something that teaches you how to fight, therefore it cannot be called a matrial art, that literally means war art. You could say the origin comes from there, but as in a great many things, where it comes from has little to do with what is now. Example: Modern so called "ninjutsu", is mainly made up, even tho the term is real, it had nothing to do what people think today.

[@DanaWhiteOfficial]

Davoda 1 not sure where you get your information, I’ve never seen that definition of martial arts presented as fact. a majority of martial arts are based around self defense and spiritual betterment. the ones you see in mainstream media are competitive martial arts, in which they are fighting. you’re pretty much saying that a martial art can only be a combat sport in which competition takes place. that doesn’t seem like a very sound argument

[@Davoda2]

@@DanaWhiteOfficial martial arts, a.k.a. arts of Mars (Roman god of war) were created to make a system for people to fight. So anything that is a system to teach people how to fight is a martial art. Kung-Fu (and the million+1 versoins of it), Karate (and the million+1 versoins of it), and not just something that is from Asia. Kravmaga (well yes technically it is asian as well) was created for the Izraeli Armed Forces, how to use a firearm, or all the European ones. They were all created, so that you can fight. And spirituality and sports have nothing to do with it. And yes, a martial art can be a sport, but that is not why it was created. You can use a weapon as paper weight, but that doesn't mean that it was made to do that. You can call a car a ship, but it won't make it float. (not will it be a number)

Not sure why so many people trash your video and teaching style. I really enjoyed the video and your teaching style. Thanks! I subscribed.

Because it’s total bullshido. He’s not only never been in a ‘street fight’, he’s never ever sparred someone to test his horseshit moves.

Great sir thanks

[@CaptainRumPanda]

for all of you guys who said tai chi is stupid is because you don't know the way tai chi works ... tai chi is not an offensive fighting style, tai chi is a defensive fighting style ... you don't go to the enemy, you let the enemy come to you and if the enemy don't want to come and fight you ..... YOU WIN ALREADY !!

Jenova Corporation, Yh! You're almost 100% right but I'' give you a 96% cz there this type of tai chi called chen tai chi chuan which combines hard and soft attacks, so if u practice chen tai chi, then u don't have to wait for the opponent to attack u first. IMO, it's the best type of tai chi because u are flexible: You can hit either hard or soft depending on the situation.

[@gorillajits]

Tai chi won't work if u r really being attacked. Go learn some Muay Thai, BJJ or wrestling.

Lol I have done plenty of things mostly my 5 years of krav maga and I promise none of this would work in a fight for one if you have ever been in a fight well good luck blocking my attacks with one hand I'm going to knock the shit out of your jaw if your that open two these hits would hardly hurt at all probably wont even bruise I do believe in tai chi as a for of meditation but fighting? Come on world knock it off with the bullshido people are going to start getting really hurt from shit like this

[@GabrielKnight666]

Now please show us some sparring with a skilled boxer who knows what he is doing and who is not playing along. And then demonstrate how your blocks actually work in a REAL fighting situation that is not programmed. Thanks.
