Tai Chi vs Wrestling Match At Xu Xiaodong Gym Leads To Tantrum Over The Rules

[@FightCommentary]

Update (8/2/23): After extensive research, we found the Tai Chi Master. His online name is 唐老推 (Tang Ole Pushhands) and he's pretty known in the Chinese push hands community. So like many of you guessed all these years, Tang's experience is mostly in different styles of push hands (which have all these bizarre rules) making him unable to deal with more free-style wrestling. Here's a timeline of events to the best of our understanding: Xu vs Andy Pi - 2003 (Xu discovers BJJ and becomes a MMA fighter) Xu vs Lei Lei - 4/27/2017 (First MMA vs Tai Chi match) Xu cries after his social media's shut down and Shichahao (Xu's Sanda school) disowns him - May 2017 Tai Chi practitioners claiming to be from a Chen school try to intimidate Xu Xiaodong in a hotel - May 2017 Xu and Tai Chi Ma Baoguo Arrange Match - 6/26/2017 (Event stopped by authorities) Xu vs Ding Hao - 3/18/2018 (Fight ruled a draw; Ding Hao says he wasn't given enough to eat) Xu drives to Tai Chi Zhu Li Xiao's house to finalize rules for match after Zhu challenges him - April 2018 (match never happened) Xu goes to Kickboxing gym to spar their best and gets hurt - Aug 2018 Lei Lei tries to test his newly acquired kickboxing skills (and fails miserably) - Nov 2018 Xu vs Tian Ye - January 2019 (Birdboxing fail) Xu's social credit lowered - Early May 2019 (Due to court case with Chen Xiaowang) Xu vs Lv Gang - Mid May 2019 (The first clown painting match) Ding Hao rechallenges Xu - Mid 2019 Xu social credit back to normal after apologizing for seven days and paying fine to a Tai Chi Master - Mid 2019 Iron Palm master challenges Xu - Sept 2019 (not November like Wikipedia says) Ding Hao takes on A Hu and gets KOed - Oct 2019 Lei Lei vs Tian Ye - Nov 2019 (Xu Xiaodong opponents match) Xu vs Yuichiro - Nov 2019 Wu Tai Chi Master who challenged Xu earlier in 2019 runs away from fight and never heard again - Dec 2019 More Chinese martial arts examined: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2q8lYZ8iJ14oMU Xu's channel: kzbin.info%E5%BE%90%E6%99%93%E5%86%AC%E5%8C%97%E4%BA%AC%E6%A0%BC%E6%96%97%E7%8B%82%E4%BA%BA

Why are these kung fu guys so afraid to use their kung fu? Kung fu is good. I don't think they are serious about fighting. These people train as if kung fu was a hobby. You can tell. "Out of shape, no stamina, no control, no power, no awareness, and scared. You can tell they don't really train in kung fu. They play kung fu, like children play. This is depressing to see this happening".

[@emptyemptiness8372]

Xu is a great showman,hilarious. Taiji guy did ok considering he is out of shape and older. He tried and i respect that. Unfortunately the constant presure made him tense up thus loosing his song and root. This is a good example of why taiji needs to constantly presure test like it did 120 years ago. Its easy to gain song and root in your taiji class if you practice but it is totally different trying to do it under constant attack from an opponent with different skills/style. Only when you have mastered this can you really be able to start taijiquan boxing, until then you are really just learning taiji and are not ready to fight. I think taiji people that seriously want to fight should regularly visit or join bjj,muay thai and mma schools to experience their skill set , learn and test their own skill seeing what they can pull off. This gives them a better understanding of their art and at what level they really are. This is what some of the taiji guys i trained with in thailand did regularly. It also built great freindship and respect amongst the instructors and students of the different styles.

The problem with Push Hands is that when doing it, there's a lot of instances where you let up on pressure follow specific rules of the "sport." You're not allowed to use excessive force. In a scenario where you have to use it in self defense, I doubt you're brain is gonna switch from passive to aggressive just like that.. It has great concepts that can be "APPLIED" in actual combat, but that's exactly what MMA stands for. Taking what works and making it your own. I hope the Chinese community understands this. This was a message that Bruce Lee tried to teach the world.. I've tried it out myself and I understand that there are tons of rules and restrictions. The most apparent being no touching of the lower body. In short.. IT'S A SPORT!! Also, in this moment 6:36 you can tell he's proud of his guys. When your coach or master backs you up, it's always a very great feeling. I really hope that kid who sparred doesn't get barraged by hate.

Former wrestler here. You could tell he had position for some throws and wasn't using them. It's why he elected for a simple push when he was on the side and was under the other guy's center of gravity. As the taller guy, it's all about the sprawl and the arm drag. Once in a while you can throw a guy either in a bodylock (suplex) or head & arm, but 90% of stuff I did was keeping the other guy away by sprawling or defending / trying get the head or arm. Of course, I knew the single-leg, double-leg, & fireman's, but catching someone shorter who's the same weight class in them is tough. I did TKD in college; fun and you learn some neat stuff but it's all about points. I got attacked on the street and I wrestled. I've always been interested in martial arts from when I was a kid; took a class called "basic martial arts" which was mostly judo before I wrestled in HS. Friend of mine showed me some mu thai; I put it together some with other stuff I picked up. Tried kung fu, but, aside from the weapons training, the most effective part was sparring. Sifu's demonstrating some complicated thing and I automatically turn my elbow and he says "you've had training". Well, yeah...a lot of TMA's are pretty techniques that work against people who know absolutely nothing, and nobody else... I think I want to see what BJJ is all about, but I'm closer to 50 than 40 now.

Xu Xiaodong shouting reminded me of the Dynasty Wars type chinese films, the badass General rallying the troops 🤣

Godammmit, Xiaodong, GODDUMMIT The Taichi guy can be good or decent if he wants to do these Hardcore Catch/Pro Wrestling Stamina Complaining and quiting about a Knee on belly? lol?

Alright here are the rules. First rule: You're not allow to beat me.

[@senseihitmanwayofkempo8305]

The tai chi guy looks as old as me = 50+ but the mma dude look under 30 hmmm..... once again this dude picks on a old yoga teacher n beats them up... so what i say is ... pick on someone u own age n someone who has been trained 2 really kick ass.. not a aerobics coach....

[@inhometraineroakville1174]

One major reason why the Tai Chi guy lost was simply his lack of conditioning and physical attributes. A lot of people downplay the importance of that, but it's super important. There's a reason why physical conditioning is so important for fighters. It makes a huge difference even if you're less skilled than your opponent. Seriously why are there so many fat martial arts guys out there?

[@valerierodger7700]

It seems to be a running theme. I'm rather confused as to why so many practitioners in China think that they can fight when they are horribly out of shape and appear to have never even sparred before.

[@inhometraineroakville1174]

@@valerierodger7700 Some of that may have to do with the Chinese cultural revolution. In the old days martial arts training was of course taken seriously and trained hard. Physical conditioning, full contact training was an important part of it. Then when the cultural revolution hit and China wanted to get rid of all the old ways, a ton of martial arts practitioners left China and taught in other countries. The people in China now who train so-called traditional martial arts are actually training watered down crap with no direct lineage to the old systems. Essentially these guys are hobbyists and bullshitters passing themselves off as masters This is one reason why most of the legit people who can actually fight live in other countries. The real masters left a long time ago. I'm in Canada and I was taught traditionally with heavy emphasis on body conditioning and full contact training as well. We also believe in evolving the arts as well whereas so many of these bullshit masters are stuck on stagnation without growth. The only people in China who can fight are Sanda fighters. And contrary to popular opinion, they actually are much closer to the traditional martial arts than all these idiots in their silk pajamas posing as masters. Using logic, adapting to your environment, growing, hard training, and adding what is uniquely you. THIS is real Kung Fu! Anything else is shit

Xu is one scary dude. His student is scary too. I’ll stay here in my house in IL, so I don’t run into him on the street.

The Tai Chi guy did pretty well. If he is standing like that with only Tai Chi training, then it is impressive.

[@goyonehiro1]

-good work on your commentary man, keep up the awesome work 💪

[@artistpenguin5890]

To be honest, the tai chi guy was not as terrible as I've come to expect. For sure he was weaker (I mean just look at this stomach) but it was not that bad. He has at least some grappling skills.

I fucking love Xu Xiaodong! I don’t blame him for getting pissed considering how childish and pathetic these Tai Chi guys are. They basically don’t want any technique they’re unfamiliar with being used, like what do they think fighting is?? Ridiculous.

I thought Sumo is the only "martial art" in which being fat is the ideal body type. That "master" is likely eat a lot and train very little.

[@YourManifoldWorld]

Of all the martial arts, I think Wrestling is the most difficult most demanding.

[@seanh7585]

Let's be fair, no single or double, no tie ups, no arm drags, no schucking or whizards, no ankle picks, no headlocks... basically just no wrestling

[@modemmack]

Considering the absolute whippings that other Tai Chi guys have received against non-compliant opponents, this one wasn't too bad.

[@diegocasimiro9997]

I love xu's energy throughout the video

[@gxtmfa]

Honestly, the tai chi guy did better than I thought he would. Had he done more sparring with wrestlers, some of his ideas may have worked (or at the very least he’d be ready for the wrestler’s counters and follow ups). He still got his ass handed to him and complained incessantly l, though.

[@ScileSc]

The best thing is Xu constantly holding his happy meal stopwatch into the camera.

Tai chi masters must understand that tai chi vs tai chi does not exist anymore now is just like tai chi vs MMA
