    Thanks so much for showing applications in almost real speed! These typical slow motion demonstrations alone are so totally useless, dangerous even, because they lead people to believe they have acquired a real fighting skill, where in fact all they have learned is how to counter a slow motion, simulated attack. Most people have no idea how fast fists can move in a real fight.

      @@dwddindin Tai Chi as a fighting style per se is pretty useless fighting other Tai Chi practitioners. As a foundation for freestyle fighting, absolutely amazing. But if you stick to the style you've learned, you're most likely going to lose against a skilled boxer, or whatever skilled fighter.

    You can make any movement into something practical. I guess the idea is to spar often to know when to use what and get you muscle memory in the right place. I think that everyone's different in different areas and we want to maximize the effectiveness of whatever choice we make in a confrontation. So train, train, and train and with as many different people as we can. Agree? I guess I'm being philosophical but that's me. Have fun.

    As an Indian, i can see that this is very similar to YOGA. But, this should never be used as a self defense technique. It is not! A good boxer will send this fake sensei into another dimension! We have a lot of these FAKE martial arts in India too.... Lol!!!

      I dont think you have a firm understanding of Taiji. Its not Yoga, its not like Yoga. It might look supernatural sometimes but its not. Its just internal body mechanics. Nick Ozspiac is an MMA fighter that has used Taiji in the ring.

You don't need a PhD in anatomy and body mechanics to know that Adam Misner has a black belt in Bullshido🤣. I don'mean to be rude, Taiji is probably good for your joints if you're over 70.

      @@arbogast4950 My friend, I know it's not yoga or anything related to it. Yoga is about static positions and stretches. Sadly, it is also sold (by us Indians) to impressionable rich white folks who think any Eastern style is mystical/magic.

It's just plain unethical

      @@antapps I've seen plenty of footage from Xu Xiadong. Why does he (nick) have to be famous? The fact that he can even step in the octagon is enough proof. Those other "masters" don't even spar, so it makes perfect sense that they get knocked out in 10 seconds. Ive actually grappled with competent Taiji practitioners. Ive gone over its principles and mechanics with state championship wrestlers. Its not mystical. It has martial value, mostly for grappling. Also, im not saying that Mizner is an untouchable God. I am saying that he has a very good grasp on the mechanics of Taiji and their original intentions.

      @@arbogast4950 any random guy can 'spar' with Taiji masters and still look good. Im no master. I have about 3 months of boxing training, that's all. As you said, I can also 'step into the octagon' and get my ass whooped by a real fighter. Stepping into an octagon or challenging someone to a fight doesn't mean anything. If Taiji worked as a self defence system, it would have known globally as one. It's been around forever right? Is there any footage of a Taiji master (using Taiji, not MMA) beating a real fighter? All these years of search and I haven't found one🤷‍♂️. Kung Lee is a legendary Kung-fu/Wushu master who fought in UFC and had good success, until he got KOd by Micheal Bisping, who was not even the best Middleweight at the time. The Only Chinese MMA champion Zhang Weili is actually a Muay Thai fighter... So.. maybe there might be a hidden master with unbeatable skills, but proof matter and as of now, I can't take Taiji as a serious martial art. Good movement exercise for sure! Nothing else
