  1. I’m agree with this last coment, i practice the A? kido & the Ta? Ji Quan, the Ta? ji helped me a lot in A? kido too & both have the same spirits, no competition, no fight only the training with a partenar

    I have to be honest I was skeptical at first with tai chi but it has really improved my standup game in Judo. Learning how to shift your body weight in very subtle and unexpected ways is very beneficial to take down defense. I would recommend Tai Chi to any Judoka or grapplers out there. Find a good teacher, swallow your preconceptions and train hard!

  3. i know i learned something today

  4. @ Is as important as sagaciousdonquixote Defense offense. If he’s on the floor then you can pin him there until authorities arrive, or Fuths disable him. You’ve definitely got a point that the attack is not harmed, but that’s part of the philosophy. Be better, karmatically, than your opponent by showing him mercy rather than retaliating with a counter-attack harmful. It is possible however, with some moves shown here, to break a joint if enough pressure is applied such as elbow or shoulder.

    It’s worth mentioning and wondering why these application do not do much to really disable the attacker. All propositions about the devastating effects of ‘internal’ power aside, the incoming attacker is deflected and often ends up on the ground, but would have little to regret for his more than a few Efforts scraped palms. Why do not we see more attacking, grabbing, and twisting of the head instead of simply disengaging the opponent and giving him another opportunity?

  6. It would be so shameful to get your ass kicked by a guy wearing his trousers that high!

  7. With minimal effort @ TietCanhVit like here? Taichi people want to point out subtle differences so say that after you’ve experienced the style

  8. 2:36 cannot be used for brock’s lessnar F5

  9. This Is Very Good! Ham Hao! Xie X? for this. Shifu Velzi Moreschi

  10. karate does the same thing without the fancy impractical movements.

  11. @ Greendragontaichi Wen Fu Long is in the blue shirt. Sheng Long is not in this video. The other two guys are students, but not family.

    Man I want him as a teacher please!

  13. Am i the only one hearing tho, thu, ophu, thaa, Phaa, thou all the time: |

  14. @ MrBloodFight Run away, or if you’re so inclined, a good kick in the nads ought to do him in too! Cheers mate.

  15. there `s just something with the past

  16. i will give whatever you want if any one can teach me tai chi

  17. this is so far the better video I’ve watch about tai chi combat

  18. @ MrBloodFight Push Hands is not about technique, it is a way of testing internal stength. It is not about what if he does this or what if he does that. In a real situation you are only going to use maybe four so called techniques in your life. Tai chi is about many different things but starts with making your health better, then if practiced properly and long enough you build internal power, then doesn’t matter if you get hit or you hit he will pay. Your body should react naturally, (no thought

  19. ok, that covers if he is pushing me. Thank you for that. But what he starts kicking me in the nads?

  20. sweet, never thought of a lot of that stuff.

  21. @ Nanhuazhenren So, some people have a misconception that all Tai Chi is slow moveing, but their are some out there that have forms explosive parts as well (in the forms). Anyway, I was referring to the circular hand movements as well as the linear foot work, sinking of body weight, breathing, ect. This is just my point of view though, its far from fact. Anyway, I love the internal arts and believe they are the best.

  22. @ Nanhuazhenren Well, I really can not say this move or that move as a reference, however some of the circular movements kind of remind me of pa-kua applications, and some of the more straightforward linear movements remind me of some Hsing-i. My experience in Hsing-i is limited but I do have more knowledge of pa-kua. Ofcoarse, I am not referring to walking the circle or anything like that, just saying that Tai Chi seems to be somewhat of a combination of the two, but Tai Chi is superior IMO.

  23. Well, no I mean you didn t answer my question ^ ^ Don t get me wrong, I ain t tryna offend you. Could you just give me some examples of moves or applications, # in which you can see this? And that he would dust A LOT of people is totally right:-D

  24. @ Nanhuazhenren You are correct, and I am technically wrong. In my experience with these three internal arts, from my prespective, sometime it seems that it has the characteristics of the two combined. Not always, but some of the time, I never said “always, rather its something like the….” Anyway, after watching this master, I have a tremendous amount of respect for him because he would without doubt “dust” me in combat. And I am only 32 yrs old LOL. Is that better said?

  25. It is totally NOT a combination of Bagua and Xingyi. Can you please explain why you would say that?
