GM Wang Chieh Pushhands Practice 2006

[kaindrg]

the body mechanics are so subtel i wish i could see it more clearly :(

[Anderzander]

What a loss. So much potential not realised. I hope some of his students can realise it in his place.

[yangclaw26]

Farewell Mike, I will see you on the other side.

[taichigong]

good tai chi

[andymach33]

mikemartello, you have a great attitude. a credit to martial arts. there is much more to MA than blood sport. good to see some people working on taiji

[mikemartello]

andy33, thanks for the nice comments, I also see you enjoy taiji, it is hard for many to realize the wonderful art form of taiji. Keep up your training and enjoy a strong old age...

People come here under-educated. Taichi is the best exercise to achieve internal balance, poise and internal strength from the superior reservoir of chi and mind over chi. The Chinese philosophy of 4 ounces bouncing back 1000 pounds(Jin) is reflected in the calmness and concentration of mind over matter. Taichi can cure disease, boost our mental and physical health and get us in touch with a larger being than ourselves. The movement is so beautifull su is the flow of chi. Why fight?

[wizcoolc]

Yes that is me standing still. It is also me doing four push hand matches,one sparring match and two wrestling sparring matches.

[wizcoolc]

I looked a your videos. I saw you moving your hands and some guy jumping in the direction of your hands. Come on in this day and age everyone knows that it doesn't work like that against a resisting opponent.

[mikemartello]

Wiz, your opinion thats fine, if we reveiw your bagua swim vid, there is a guy standing there doing nothing while the appz is shown? Is this just as unrealistic as you say my vid are? I try to show ideas that most CMA/IMA on the web do not, I always say there is no magic, yet everyones wants blood and heads to fly off, then and only then is is real. Please grow up and bother someone else or do something to help the state of CMA. peace.

[mikemartello]

Wiz... again, it is very hard to show CMA/IMA without everyone wanting realistic proof like what the MMA people show. I stand down to them, MMA are tough guys but they train for blood sport.

I train for health, old age and self defense. Besides a wonderful art form which is dying as you see also.

[david1234lee]

@wizcoolc

But you are completely wrong. I am from Taiwan and have seen stuff like this many times. This is actually very fundamental.

[wizcoolc]

I know I'm being a little bit of a dick here. But it's true that this is why people think Kung Fu is a Joke.

[wizcoolc]

Ting ping jing talk is cheap lets see action.

[mikemartello]

Wiz, now you are just trolling.

Like I said look at other vids if you don't like these...

spammed....

[KristianAaHansen]

Wiz, Im totally agree with Mr. Martello here. He points out a very good point here about learning and understandig Ting Jing. Btw Mr. Martello, Shifu Paolo says hi! :)

[mikemartello]

Krist... Thanks, it is very hard to show CMA/IMA without everyone wanting realistic proof like what the MMA people show. I stand down to them, MMA are tough guys but they train for blood sport. I train for health, old age and self defense... Besides a wonderful art form which is dying...

Please say hello to Paolo for me.

[wizcoolc]

Every time there is an old man and his student letting him do what he wants there is a 5 star rating. Then go to the competition push hands where people are really trying to move each other and there will be like 1 star. Just goes to show how realistic most of these tai Chi guys are.

[mikemartello]

Wiz, you miss the point, by allowing here, I am learning the process of how the teacher uses his tinjing and other control principles. I am willing to lose here to learn here, instead of fight and be pig headed. Look at other vids were we play rough and I try to use the ideas instead of comply here. Learning is a slow process, not always a fight.

[killersushi99]

Who knew Borat was in Taiwan! YES I LIKE!

[yingjow]

this is very nice.

thank you for this.

[kamikazitwat]

Nice moustache

[joetaichi]

Great display of sensing hands good to see your still active mike your chen homeboy josef.

[mikemartello]

JF look to my Bagua DaDao vid, and see yourself... That was many moons ago... hope your well...

[Anderzander]

great stuff - nice to see practice in the same vein as my own

[vboy13]

hi mike great stuff thanks for sharing

is Master chieh a big advocate of standing san ti or otherwise?

i hope i am half as healthy at 81

wow

[mikemartello]

Teracher Wang is more old school CMA... By real combat has developed his skills, during the sino jap wars... He always says by a good teacher & practice one can achieve.. He really means then; by his practicing on you, the skill will be learned....

[mikemartello]

ee88, please refrain from useless comments...

As a troll comes by...spammed... Peace...

[steveg219]

Mike - thanks, I appreciate your attitude of sahring and seeking improvement!

[mikemartello]
