lol, i see why you say so, but actually a skilled martial artist will always win if he is more skilled than the opponent no matter what style/discipline it is.
p.s fight someone who practices tai chi quan properly and then tell me he couldn't fight.
the martial art you study is a huge factor. a shitty wrestler can whoop a straight muay thai champion by taking him to the ground. a jiu jitsu guy can tap a much more talented wrestler if the wrestler isn't familiar with bjj submissions from guard. you are oversimplifying a complicated situation, positing equality where none exists. there is neither reason for all martial arts to be equally effective nor evidence to support such a claim.
@nicerebound , read this guys books retard, he has many blackbelts in many arts and he would surprise you, internal arts don't look like the movies when they hit, but they hit hard enough to break bones and damage internal organs!!
I regularly floor external martial arts guys, using tai chi redirections of energy, I regularly escape from BJJ "unescapable" holds by gripping pressure points and knowing the limit of my body...as taught by standing post chi gung techniques.
@nicerebound yeah maybe all these ground fighting skills will work on him but you have to be able to throw him to the ground first, tai chi guys study throws as well maybe a tai chi guy will throw him first and by the way bjj guys and wrestlers don't even learn how to take punches
@nicerebound You make a valid point in that not all martial arts (and especially not all martial arts schools) are equally useful in combat. But to claim that you can defeat ANY fighter of another art is clearly a ridiculous statement and one that suggests a huge gap in knowledge. I know people who cross-train tai chi chuan and MMA and use tai chi principles to defeat MMA fighters in their element. Style is important, training methods are important, but so is the practitioner.
Tai Chi strikes are like a rubber-mallet which fails to damage a surface much, while knuckles hardened by experience are like, a steel-faced mallet which does mark. That is the difference between internal energy and measurable-hardness on the surface. This act of refusal to stop a person with a hardened-fist can be perceived as, intentionally causing more medical complications, because a dead-person is different legally.
Incredible...

@Sjnjerak Mind over matter! The mind is a very powerful component in any combat situation. I'm yet to lose a bout -- and I've been global since 2001.

The inventor of your martial art was a Tai Chi practitioner first then invented Aikido.

No, the whole of Chinese medicine is based on internal energies.
Once we couldn't measure the magnetic field of the earth, that doesn't mean it only appeared when we could measure it
It was still there, even if unmeasurable at that time.
