@Nhật Nam Trần Overrated in what sense? I can bet my entire life savings on Mike Tyson to beat any of these bullshit "martial artists". It's just like he said, everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face. Most martial art masters start with their fancy stances in fights, but switch to a basic boxing stance as soon as they get decked in the fuckin face. It's all bs dude, better learn that fast.

Iv been in karate, kick boxing. And finally boxing. Real training, sparring pad work. One on one with coach. That is not how one trains to fight with your hands

Tai chi is a load of crap, you've never been in the ring or on the street if thats truly what you think

Taichi takes way too long to properly learn in comparison to many other techniques. You can get muscles by working out in a month and already you can win street fights

No ones saying it’s useless, it’s actually a pretty good exercise for mindfulness. But it won't help much in a real fight

It looks so relaxing, and I could probably use that. But as a female, I want to learn how to properly defend myself.

Plot twist: It's the grandmaster observing from afar

It has definitely a meaning but in software engineering

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.

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

​@@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.

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")

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.

Except that in a real fight you don't know what the opponent is going to do and you don't tell him what to do

Actually no, in a real fight aggressors will not throw their whole body forward with no intention of stepping back, which is the only way these moves work.

the most powerful defense skill in the world right here!

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

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 !

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

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.

I think Joe Rogan said a very good quote , train matial art that could deal with trained fighters and not just regular dudes.

@@Llucius1 Actually this is the general idea behind martial art trainings, the idea is not coming from Joe

@@Steel9k Well , I cannot say I agree to your statement but I get your point. For some martial art training , it is true that has always been the case. For example , like Tai Chi , this is not made to defeat well trained fighters actually , and this is kind of the misunderstanding behind the art.

@@Llucius1 The things that were not made (/created) in order to defeat well trained opponents (in combat) in my understanding are usually called - chess - ballet - aerobic - danding - bread On the other hand -according to my understanding -which it makes sense - taichi and other martial arts contain techniques or movements that can cause severe, permanent or lethal damage to the human body.

@@Steel9k Well , if you really think about it , a person who has not trained could actually killed a person by hand , so almost all physical contact technique has a risk there. 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.

Never doubt it!

Yes 🙌🏻 it helps with ur heart lungs kidney breathing everything

True.

@Jack Actually it is even worse than that. These people get a false sense of security from this bullshido, and in effect make them self even more vulnerable when they think they can defend themself or someone else with this crap. also that dress they are wearing.... its perfect if you want to get strangled by your own clothes, shows you delusional they are about fighting:D

I was taught Tai-chi by a karate black belt whom had changed focus. He would teach me some martial applications when I arrived early. Most people who practice Tai-chi do it for inner balance and health and are not interested by applications.

@@donedeal725 有道理

There's no reason you couldn't use these techniques in MMA if you mastered them wholeheartedly. It's just about fighting experience and skill in your particular set of techniques. MMA is the cross-fit of martial arts. It's not terrible, but it breeds terrible ego.

The people who win fights are the ones who train hardest and most realistically. Your style is secondary to emulating the style of your opponent

Liar you did not understand shit.

nukedaddy "[These are not MMA fighting techniques. They are martial ARTs techniques.]" MMA stands for "Mixed Martial Arts".

nukedaddy Mastering a bunch of random techniques that may or may not be useful.... yeah good luck with that champ.

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.

iarcheese Yep if I want philosophy I will talk to a Greek. If I want spirituality I will talk to God. If I want real martial arts I will watch MMA or boxing. All this eastern "natural" "rhythms of nature" bla bla is just a bunch of oddly dressed people listening to blind man describing color. while getting a bit of exercise and fresh air. It keeps them off the street and out of the bars i guess

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.

iarcheese Yup

+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. And... I actually do not care if you do not understand. Fighting is of a lower vibration than peace, literally.

Your statement is more or less correct but this video is a terrible example of how tai chi can actually work in a "real fight"

Hmmm, I think MMA is the best,dif.&off.

Too many rules and regulations in ring fight to screw up martial art fighters. Chinese martial arts can be very deadly, which is not allowed isn't it? So they can only use their limitations.... to lose . Even in street fighting with no rules, wushu fighters are taught by masters to use defence technique to 'hua 化' fierce fighter, without using deadly blow to kill. A great wushu master would avoid any ruthless fighters, it's just not their teachings, unless under grave danger.

@@reynolsalvador564 in the pentagon it is probs the best. thats is why it is used there. outside of that, any martial arts ( real once ) have their applications. and i really dont see mma being effective in real fighting

@@bobmenendez8708 if they are that good u can probably still beat ppl up w/o being deadly. HEMA is a perfect example of that, and wrestling, and bjj... I am not saying that all martial arts don't work I'm saying a lot has been watered down and commercialized

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

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.

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

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.

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.

patience. any year now

Those are my thoughts 😅

nice lie, seems everyone makes up some type of bullshit story about this style.

Who is bashing ? We're calling out fraud when we're seeing one. He's not even sparing with an opponent aiming to also beat him, and you are catering to that bullshit because of what ? "respect" ? He's a fraud. his art is a fraud.

I would not call his style a fraud, it is just a style. The problem is with the video title, which is misleading/exaggerated. Perhaps a more genuine/descriptive title would be: How to apply tai chi in fight confrontations.

***** I only recently got up to rag doll status.. good times lol

+TheUnclefester13 That man is probably his best student, perhaps his apprentice. I know from experience with Tai Chi classes, getting thrown around like this is good because you learn a lot from it. In our school we call it tasting bitter. Sometimes our teacher will allow the students to take turns having a technique demonstrated on them - I usually try to go back for seconds. XD

I agree with you stars. Bitter training builds skills and character. It was the same in my karate class. I was not sensei's best student but I was the most experienced student he had. He always used me for demos cause I knew the first rule of being a uke, always make the sensei look good in front of company.

hey paid, to learn nothing

Same lol

@Jaro Mir wait so your saying Tai chi is soft (not trying to be disrespectful)

i watch it for fun but ive noticed most mma fighter have no foot or head work and cant even keep their hands up

Because in mma, the best skillset wins. They fight the way they do, to be the most effective and THAT brings money cause you get more and better fights. People want to see it there, because while mma has this process of rewarding the best fighters and with that improving the overall effectivenss, most eastern styles dont have that. So they want to see how it stacks up against mma styles. Just to know if its actually effective

@Jaro Mir The only type of people who demand "proof" are weak keyboard warrior who only like to watch other people fight. Stop being fucking fake. You aint about that life. I can tell. How did you study taichi for 13 years and you seperate "hard" and " soft". What do the Yin and Yang mean then? Isnt push hands hard and soft? You people be on here lying. OR you had bullshit as teachers and you get on here fucking up the videos with stupid ass comments that fuck up the viewing pleasure for those of us with respect here to learn

Same here.

For good reasons we will never watch a fight between a MMA and a real master; is not good for the business of MMA and a master will never accept a fight like that. One time, I witnessed a MMA champio fighting against a ream Ju-Jutsu master, and the result... Well, the first trains to win a summission fight, and the second to take lives into the battlefield. And I think that leaving this like that, is the best.

it wont take a random mma fighter to do that.... an average bloke unfortunately has plenty of juice to cause damage here....

Ive trained in Chinese arts, (and cross trained in many other arts), for over 20 yrs. The last time I did a demo for an MMA fighter... I used one arm against his two. He was unable to land a single hit on me. Near the end, he got angered because I utterly embarrassed him... and he amped up to using full power, full speed, with true intent to harm. 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... As lower tier fighters are not even a Challenge, to such a fighter. (hence why I tend to show these fighters how poor their training is, by only using a single arm against them)

"It's not the art but the artist. Thank you. I don't think any decently intelligent or wise person who knows anything will disagree with this." Outside from this being a childish Poisoning of the well-fallacy, it's also just demonstrably wrong. In fights with minimal rules we clearly see specific styles coming back. If the art didn't matter it would all be random. Instead, the common denominator in successful styles is a focus on sparring and less focus on magic. But it does protect someone who can't fight from ever having to admit that the art he is studying might be utter nonsense. It's an immunizing strategy. sites.google.com/site/maartenboudry/teksten-1/immunizing-strategies

Angelus Dobari I think your point makes sense, but you may have misunderstood what Seth wrote? The art does matter, of course, because someone trained in an art would almost always kick the ass of someone randomly throwing their arms and legs around hoping to hit someplace that hurts. Almost always meaning that nobody pulls out a weapon, and the amateur doesn't get in a lucky hit. But I think Seth meant that the artist is more important, because what the art is wouldn't matter much if the artist was one of those 'black belts' who only had the rank and lacked the training and skill. When you pit true artists against each other in a fight, I suppose it depends on their skills and whether the two arts are compatible/whether one art has an advantage over the other. I'm not sure if I'm explaining this clearly...

@ CyanceYes, that too occurred to me, that "the art [one] is studying might be utter nonsense". It is an unsettling thought but worthy of taking seriously. I have been practicing (as an amateur) tai chi for some years and from time to time feel it might be useless as a practical fighting skill. I've never had to apply it in a real physical confrontation situation, mainly because "the law" and situation complications put a break on my wish to try. Yet despite these uncertainties and unpredictable complications, I wonder - might the movements enable one to move through everything in daily living in a different way from how others/we normally move?These are all but philosophical ruminations on the theme of "how to live life effectively" .

But the more wise master is always better, the style is not so important, see Bruce Lee

Naaaaaah put a jujitsu black belt in front of the best tai chi guy and the jujitsu guy will destroy him. Come on man like are you serious? The reason these martial arts have progressed so much is because the real ones have perfected physics and how to manipulate the human body. There is 100% martial arts that are "better " and more effective than others and if you seriously think that's not true then you need to do some research

Argonaut, nobody is selling this as a "fighting system" first. Fighting is "second" in tai chi. The point was... That why would someone bother about it. It can work and any style is always superior to no style. Even then, mastering something is always a proof of excellence.

@@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.

@@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 :)

@@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.

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

Jeah and imagine the Opponent would do so, too. And now imagine that the attacker really wanted to harm him, and not just offer his arm ... wow

Although i know manderin (Chinese language)...I still agree with what you said.but very sorry, i dont know how to make it....

ali baba UKposts should let you or anyone make translation subtitles of the video.maybe email support for their help. If you add them you will increase views.

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

It's a tool that can be used to increase the your training routine. But using it as basis in a fight... Well not so good

Tai chi isnt for fight, that's a second thing that you learn

Probably a translation error

judofan Taiji is so powerful when you use deft movements. We have one words to say that: Four ounces can conquer five hundred kilograms.

No.

this video din't talk about chi or water at all. stupid

Says the guy who lacks knowledge on the topic.....

+SepticXable technically what he said is true

so "true" fighting is based on pre-imposted techniches praticed with collaborative partners and no free full-contact sparring? woah..this is the best way to get your ass kicked at the first real fight. Praticing techniches like in this video is dreamland, is just an illusion.

@mario spezzi They strengthen the body and advance the mind in ways that are not understood by an external observer. You have to actually practice it. And strength and mind are the most important elements in a real fight. Especially the mind. Try putting a western fighter to do any tai chi move. He simply can't in any graceful or meaningful way. And this is simply because he lacks the strength and motor skills.There are no shortcuts. Let me put it another way. Real fighting is like basic algebra. And that's what you'll face everyday. Internal martial arts is like a phd in mathematics. I suppose a phd mathematician can definitely cope with basic algebra. They don't get the phd to become better in algebra(although they do become), they just like mathematics and they want to understand and advance the field.

Neither saying that ufc fighters sucked, nor claiming that this is better than western boxing/mma or whatever. Ufc fighters who trained have a really good spirit n did not fear their opponents, which is something commendable.
