You've got a lot of garbage here

[@larsjune2345]

Did you aplly full force on Adam Mizner? How was your experience, when Adam Mizner tried to execute his Taichi-technique? What is your conclusion? Does his Taichi work? As far as I can see, sometimes his technique seems to work, and somtimes not. Once I trained in a course with a well known european Taichi-Master. He wanted to explain a technique to me, but I used full hard force on him and he was not able to execute his technique. On another occasion with another Master I did the same, but this time his technique worked excellently. So its hard to tell just from watching a video, if a master is truly a master, although I must say, that Adam Mizner seems to have no real fighting experience.

[@THEMARTIALMAN]

@@larsjune2345 I wrote about my experience in detail in this article: themartialman.com/how-does-it-feel-to-cross-hands-with-adam-mizner

[@lisar9425]

As a horse trainer/healer and riding instructor, I don’t know how I wandered over to this vid, but YES. People ask me how I can “adjust” a horse, how am I so effective with so little effort; I always say it’s not about size or strength, it’s about synchrony, vectors and speed. I don’t “adjust” the horse. I position the horse so it can adjust itself. When I train horses or humans, I am looking at how the bones interact with gravity. At 170lbs, I can stop a 1500lb horse at the end of my rope by simply setting my hips. No one taught me this (except the horses). It evolved from my daily practice. Now come to discover there is a “martial” art funded in these principles. For those watching with a jaundiced eye, thinking, “This has to be staged”-NOPE. It’s physics, awareness, and practice. Practice. Practice.

[@THEMARTIALMAN]

Thank you for sharing your experience. I found your comment very interesting to read in regards controlling a horse using body mechanics.

[@lisar9425]

Well, as with tai ch it begins with body mechanics; control of the horse comes from control of the self. But this actually happens, riding, only when you accept the forces of the horses’ movement. In the beginning this feels messy, uncontrolled, off-balance. If you resist it, you will be thrown, dragged, dumped. And this is part of learning. You have to fall to learn. When it finally clicks together, form is the furthest thing from your mind; intention and adjustment become one and the same. You can break it down into the physics, why it works, and this can augment learning. But what the body learns can’t be written down-it must be felt. Thanks for your vids.

[@billymandalay9504]

It's not an opponent. but your complement. 'Yam-yong'. Being chinese, such a worldview is practically instinctive to me. It's not a concept that I have to consciously learn or have broken down and explained to me. The modern western mind finds it hard to grasp this. Just look at the sceptical remarks in this comment section. smh. Notice, I said 'modern'.. Gained the world, lost yourselves. Nature helps you reconnect, however. Such is the Tao. We've seen 5000 years of miltary warfare in China. What does raw combat skills even mean anymore ? Uyeshiba asked the same question.

[@CALL-ME-SLY]

Tao Te Ching - Lao Tzu - chapter 41 The wise student hears of the Tao and practises it diligently. The average student hears of the Tao and gives it thought now and again. The foolish student hears of the Tao and laughs aloud. If there were no laughter, the Tao would not be what it is. Hence it is said: The bright path seems dim; Going forward seems like retreat; The easy way seems hard; The highest Virtue seems empty; Great purity seems sullied; A wealth of Virtue seems inadequate; The strength of Virtue seems frail; Real Virtue seems unreal; The perfect square has no corners; Great talents ripen late; The highest notes are hard to hear; The greatest form has no shape. The Tao is hidden and without name. The Tao alone nourishes and brings everything to fulfillment.

[@solomanifest]

Beauty is a subjective feeling/concept. I don't really think those words are beautiful. They are simply very meaningful and philosophical to me. Maybe the beauty is simply a side effect of their deep significance and profoundness. If you notice Mizner's bulging belly and puffy face, then I'd say his physique says "Weight training by way of gaining fat" to me. Having more fat on you doesn't really give you an advantage at moving people around. He looks more like a couch potato to me than somebody who does "Weight training" .

This is awesome. I like how when he is just talking he sounds Aussie, in the demo he's inner Asian Shifu comes out "COME ME, COME" "You wan strike me, I strike!" So good.🙏 My Chinese master would demo things brilliantly but the explanations with his limited English language, were lacking. Most the time he would say "Just do!" Which yes we can, but having great analogies like the fire hose, gun & all these things that can get you from 80% to 100%

[@academyofstreetdance1107]

[@alexi9108]

I can see, that good boxers or wrestlers have a good deal of internal skills. The problem is that they develop them by external repetition and are not actually AWARE of having them. And while coaching are almost never able to transmit them to their students.

[@soys8834]

It’s all fake tho

[@macrumpton]

Aside from the many years required to become effective at self defense in Taiji Quan, another difficulty is that it is hard for an observer to understand what is happening, so it often looks like your opponent is pretending to be thrown or struck because it does not resemble the expected physics of everyday life.

[@kingofaikido]

Nice interview. I like Adam. He explains tai-ji well. The beauty and the power is all in the "sung". :)

[@danielpanizza]

I'm genuinely fascinated by all the keyboard warriors who contribute with profound comments like "bullshido", or "this man wouldn't last a second against"-type of comments. I guess the blindest people in the world are the ones who don't want to see.

It is difficult to believe something that is outside of your own experience. That is exactly the reason why I created an opportunity for people to experience this first-hand and even learn the methods of how to do it at 'The Martial Camp.' themartialman.com/the-martial-camp-2020/

Great explanation of taiji chuan. And very impressive. Seeing his students doing it to you know it’s a thing.

[@THEMARTIALMAN]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@mcronrn]

Thank you for revisiting Mr Mizner. To most external martial artists like myself, I’m sure watching him effortlessly move you around from structurally unsound positions is quite baffling. What was it like being on the receiving end of such a display? Does experiencing it first-hand change your understanding of the martial arts and what’s possible? As a Shotokan practitioner, it would be interesting to see you interview one of its high-profile practitioners... :-) Thanks for your contribution to the martial arts community!

[@THEMARTIALMAN]

M Cron although it was painful at times, it's always an amazing experience being on the receiving end of someone with real internal skills, especially the level Sifu Adam is currently at. Thank you for your comment 🙏

[@Rehodigan]

better to think: if he can effortlessly move then the positions are not structurally unsound

[@mcronrn]

Louis I may have been unclear - Mizner could effortlessly move/push the host around when Mizner was in awkward positions...

[@Rehodigan]

yes, if he can generate force effortlessly then the position isn't truly awkward (for him) - it just appears awkward (to you). if you just think "he's in a structurally unsound position but still powerful" then his skill just becomes something magic that you can never hope to understand or benefit from. but if you consider it from the opposite angle (he's effortlessly powerful therefore he must still be in a structurally sound position) then a point being made by Mr Mizner is more evident: internal condition of body is more important than external appearance. in rewatching the video i do notice that "structure" is used to purely refer to external structure so that's probably where the misunderstanding comes from

[@vandamme6379]

My problem is with all the "Allowing" movements. None of this is practical against someone punching you directly in the face and kicking your legs with their shins. If they know wrestling or Jujitsu too then you're finished. Practical martial arts are the ones that train you using opponents who are resisting you. This just seems pointless.

[@nicholasnapier2684]

I like this guy's explanation of a lot he really gets into it like we made the analogy of the Tesla coil or how the energy is displaced quickly like that without having to put much force into it at all as I watch your videos you focusing on a lot of things it's interesting this guy really knows what he's doing

[@simonnaylor7983]

After watching this video with Adam Mizner and also having viewed the other ones with him on your channel I'd really like to experience Taijiquan for myself. It doesn't seem possible what he demonstrated and the concepts are really fascinating.

[@joejohnston3]

Simply awesome and amazing!!!

[@joshuakouma7073]

this is excellent! big fan of Adam Minzer. Do want to say though, his definition of other kung fu seemed to be geared toward WC which has much of the same principles of Tai Chi, through hip and shifting movements, absorbing and redirecting energy. The longer you practice it, it seems the more Chi you build and the more our body becomes loose and like a spring. Being stiff is the beginning of learning the movements and structure.

[@xxdummyfreshful]

Lol, Wing Chun has nothing in Conan with Tai chi, keep dreaming!

[@Alicia_lovepuppies]

Just train on your speed and accuracy.. extreme speed and pin point accuracy beats anything

[@chesshyrekat3258]

A monkey is fast and accurate jumping through the trees, but it couldn't beat an elephant. A sniper rifle is a tool of speed and accuracy and will kill an elephant easily, when it is used in the right way. Live is not as easy as one thing is better than the other. It depends.

[@billmurray7676]

But does it REALLY ever stop being about structure? take 17:42 for example. He is clearly recovering his structure, rooting and using his body and arms in a way very similar to Wing Chun as seen in this case in chum kiu. It's not very clear because in the demonstrations, when he is saying structure doesn't work, what he is really showing is that muscle doesn't work, and then he proceeds to use what I see as structure to break your structure.

[@DiscoverTaiji]

not about structure at all....

[@billmurray7676]

So with a high enough level, structure becomes a natural, almost subconscious consequence of what you are doing inside?

[@symbolsarenotreality4595]

Structure can have many positions and adam showed how from any position, weak or strong, the energy that filled his structure was more important than the structure itself which is why from weak positions he was effortlessly able to return to a stronger position.

[@rightsaidralf9018]

The obvious problem is, if internal arts are truly internal, and i think Adam is the real deal, whatever you see is not what is happening. Everything you (or me) see gets processed through OUR means of perception and compared with OUR experiences. As long as these experiences do not include truly internal martial art, we must arrive at wrong conclusions about what is going on.

Rubbish. For these "techniques" to work, the "attacker" has to stop his force coming and thus give the "sifu" time to adjust. And in case of attempted throws the "attacker" was standing on one foot having no root when the "sifu" applied his "jin" to throw the "attacker" away. Visit a nearest judo school and try these party tricks on students there. They learn how to deal with dynamic force coming to them, not just with someone who stands still waiting for the miracle to happen.

Tao Tao Pai my teacher sigung Mark Bram of the Lee Wah Yook Qi Quan system has developed a chi lifting technique that allows him to bench press over 300 pounds for 12 plus reps while remaining very relaxed without any strain or tension just very relaxed with chi sunk deep in tan tien so the answer is at a much higher level yes.
