Tai Chi Martial Art Applications : Tai Chi: Attack From Behind

[314aloneinthedark314]

ive used this technique in actual combat and it has saved my life. except in my situation i followed with horse's mane rather than ward off - but that initial pose in tai chi, the getting low, it works.

This is good but what if you're too slow...

[Brady2k10]

yes but what if he penetrates you with his knob

[MrDASADI]

das ist der gröste sägmehl scheis den ich je gesehn hab.

[ohfuckingwell]

thats a good idea it goes with the "least resistance" idea of tai chi...you constantly lift your body weight as you go about your day. the easiest thing to do logically is to stop liftin stop exerting.

Why do you think that?

[WarriorBoy]

This isn't awful, but it does take the assumption that you haven't been firmly grasped and are already being held.

It's easy to break out of someone's grip before they have a tight hold, but there are ways Taiji can be applied to escape once you are firmly held, as well.

[TheZhongzheng]

@WarriorBoy very true

[Kepheri]

the footwork is also important as with any attacker who comes from behind; it can be a valuable suprise. Sinking, wraping, and turning of the waist are important keys with footwork.
