    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!

    A person who knows how to first of all block punches, and has an arsenal of offensive moves can really give someone who wants to hurt them the shock of their lives.

    The "graceful" way you practice isn't for show, it's so you remain loose and relaxed. You flow around your opponent's attacks, you NEVER directly oppose them with stiff blocks. I can't even call this "Tai Chi 101," cause it's even more basic and simple than even that!

    Just to demonstrate what I've said below, have a look at this video, I've just spotted.For some reason I couldn't copy / paste it. However look up, Taichi in a real fight, the best one by jianfei lu. I don't know that teacher, so I have no vested interests. However he has that internal stillness and calm demeanour. In 5.25 and again 6.04 he shows 'ward off' or a variation of it, the point being the waist and shoulders are in line. So it is in Mandarin, however you don't need to know the language to see how effective Tai Chi can be without the razzmatazz. Also shortly after 6.04 you see what real Fajing or internal Tai chi power is. It doesn't rely on external body mechanics, but on years of cultivating 'ch'i' 'qi' or the life force, that ignorant scientists still say doesn't exist but is ably demonstrated here. I've experienced it myself, so this is not 'acting' on the part of students!May All Beings be Peaceful

      Definitely. The haters can go away. But I do see what some people are saying, Including me. I know Xing Yi Quan, karate, and Taekwondo. As far as Tai Chi goes, I have no idea what its like other than it looking very smooth. But for your Xing Yi Quan video, I'm not hating on it at all, its just wrong in many ways and I want to point that out. I just don't want people to learn the wrong things. I don't want you stop having fun or anything like that, i just want things corrected :)

      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 3 года назад

      @@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
      @DanaWhiteOfficial 3 года назад

      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)

    @docrizz605 8 лет назад +6

    tai chi is based on a philosophy that you do not have to train using quick twitch type movements, the slower fluid controlled movements are actually very difficult, for you people who need a analogy cause your to slow to get that, do ten push ups and then do ten push ups as slowly as possible... the latter is way more difficult, before you knock something that you have no idea about do yourself a favor and get educated, instead of making fun of a fighting system centuries old and respected greatly among martial art's practitioners, it's crazy how many people do not understand martial arts at all, and with the introduction of mma people believe that traditional styles can not be effective even though mma fighters practice these martial arts individually, if you watch a mma fight you will hear all the time he is a black belt in this or that, because of the rules and the octagon it obviously favors certain styles, there are levels, mma guys like to fight, most martial arts are meant for internal peace, constant practice and physical achievement help build a strong mind and the goal would be to hopefully not be put in a situation to have to use your skill which could be potentially fatal.

    I'm not going to lie I used to think Tai Chi was for old, whipping guys, I ask my friend how can they fight with slow movements. He told me they move that way to become efficient let me show you something. Before I know it, man I on the ground he done some kind of lock on me with some kind of push movement. My friend said your tense pressure provided made me react and flow with your energy. Needless to say I found the cause of my ignorance. He started to train me on a few things....Respect to the Tai Chi guys out there.

      @cuttlefishn.w.2705 6 лет назад

      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. You might've needed those exercises back in the day where guys were collecting qi like it's steroids, but now people are lazy and impatient, so you can afford to be a bit lazier as well.

    I don't understand why there are so many bad comments here. At the end of the day, martial arts is like learning a style of dancing properly. Yes it's choreographed. Just like learning to dance, salsa for example. When you learn, you learn choreographed dancing with everyone in class. It takes a very long time to keep going over the same steps / moves over and over..Then you learn more steps / moves in different combinations. Then after a long period of time, when you are out in a social environment, you begin to put different steps together depending on the music, rhythm etc. Same as martial arts, you have to learn choreographed moves all the time and then after a long period of time, if you're put in a threatening situation. You won't use everything you've learned. But depending on the attack etc, you will know what to do and where to strike in order to put them down.
