@ShredST: If you have to ask, you don't know them. Any good book on Tai Chi will give you a good introduction to them. What we're seeing here is wrestling, not Tai Chi. It's a shoving match, nothing more.
@panicpgh if this is Tai Chi, then Elephants do fly. rooting goes out the window and basically this is "Bull Chi" not Tai Chi....the masters of old would have decimated anyone trying to grab them., so much for liars
This looks to me Tai Chi is very similar with wrestling/judo, the shorter guy always have two underhooks, that is why he keep on winning, the tall should fight for those underhook so he can use his height as leverage
I do not see the classics of peng, lu, ji, an, tsai, lieh, zhou, khau; zhan, nian, lien, sui. What the heck are the grabbings and holdings? Wrestling is the name that suits this game - definitely not Tai Chi Push Hands. Neigh...neigh...
He is a good wrestler, but it is not Taichi. A good thrower does not mean skillful in pushhand. Never the less, his wrestling skill is pretty good even his opponent is not very good in wrestling, just all muscle and not much of skill. This is the problem of Mainland China's lack of understanding of real Taichi. Most of these Tai Chi tournaments are just a wrestling matches. Against a real "hard" opponent, if the person don't fall off right away, it is not Tai chi
tai ji is art, jing is strength in your body or muscle. tai ji is about timing and manipulate other strength, so they use this kind of excircise to gain understanding in strength so they can strike at right time and right direction in the flow of force. layman opinion.
i speak the sensitive perception, you don't understand. the energie of transfomation is use in the old taiji or neijia quan. this is the higth level of taiji.
@laurentgarciaatc to those who cannot read the description...it says that the tournament strictly forbid the use of punching and kicking, thus, many other alleys of Tai'chi was left unexplored in this match.
I'm sure if we tried say, boxing, against these guys it would be very interesting (not saying any style is better than the other).
Great competition. Many people are brainwashed into thinking tai chi is something that you are going to move slowly and just touch your opponent and he will fly away. That's not going to happen with 2 equally matched opponents. tai chi has many wrestling and grappling moves in it. You won't learn that at a Chen seminar.
@thinice2k in mma we do help each other and respect our opponent ,check my vid and you will see .if someone is not able to respect the other he will not be able to fight again becuz mma is built on martial art,even if we are aggressive
well, the movements does look like taichi. his bodymovements are moving at the motion of a taichi artist. However, there are just too many different style of taichi out there...maybe that's what confuses you.
His strenght and technique all come from taichi practise. his opponent is taller and probably stronger than him, but he is unable to throw him down or push him out of balance. You can't really see his bodymovement or technique because it is close combat wrestling(sanshou). If it was real combat from a distance you would clearly see his taichi technique.
I agree that these guyes are not olympic class athletes. But on the other hand they are clearly not in the same weight division, and it would be interesting to see how a sportsman would handle someone that much larger and stronger.
If you could point me to video of better taiji I would be interested, because the video above is far and away better than anything else I've ever seen on youtube.
I only goes to show that Tui Shou competition needs overhaul. What we are seeing in competition today have mispplaced the original intention of Tui Shou.
Agree and disagree. Taiji push hand is not designed as a form of competition; it original intent is to practice "understanding your own & listening your opponent's force". Once the listening skill improves, Taiji practitioners should start doing sparing exercise.
This is tragic for taijiquan when people think push hand can only be graceful when the persons are not competing. If people have the chance to see real masters who do it the without strength way, they known the power of taiji. i don't think the 2 guys can stand top wrestlers or other martial art fighters.
It's interesting that push hands competitions often end up in something resembling san shou. I guess it's closer to a real fight in that most folks in a real fight go for holds on the body especially if they are not striking.
push hand ends up to wrestling cause it is a competition instead of training to find out the weak points of your opponent and yourself. If people is so eager to fight, try free hand not push hand!
The taller person isnt that good at sinking the core to avoid loosing balance... This is the same problem that alot of taller wrestlers endure b/c they arent used to "dropping their weight." That's how I got alot of slams during high school wrestling...
man in white keeps trying unbalance the green pants man. the green pants man doesn't using push hand skills but wrestling. besides, what the the green pants man using obveriously is 外家拳
This is definitely more like wrestling than push hands. I mean where, in this video, do we see the merits of the standing post training? These men have a good start with the push hands until they lock up and start wrestling for the ground, when a good internal martial artist would just sink low into his stance and use his body to throw a guy like that away.
Unfortunately it isn't that easy. "Just" sinking and throwing can be difficult. And the merits of standing post aren't shown by standing still as you might expect. This is moving push hands, not stationary. The smaller guy is actually quite skilled and taijiquan DOES have shuai jiao technique, so this is a legitimate expression of taiji. Think of all those throws in the applications.
I do and it looks nothing like this. Please tell me where in the taiji texts and classics does it say that taijiquan is wrestling? To say that just disregards the rest of the art. I suppose JKD is just boxing then? How did an art where Yang Lu Chan was known to draw blood with every step end up like this? Grand Ultimate this is not. It's ego based competition. fine, if that's what floats your boat. Push hands is meant to be a training method with both people learning principles.
Perhaps my comment did not do Taiji as much justice, but much of Taiji is wrestling. I was reading somewhere that it wasn't until early to mid 20th century that Taiji was considered to have a lot of strikes in it.
When people think of wrestling, of course you think of moving people around in what looks like a forceful way but really isn't. People who talk they way you do have limited experience working with uncooperative opponents.
taiji might look very pretty when you see people doing the form. but this is freestyle push hand. this is wat it looks like when you use it for fighting. It is ugly but practical.
Wow.. you can really see the principles of taijiquan here can't you. Push hands is not a competition and this is wrestling. Where is the sticking, adhering, connect and following. Subtle power? no where to be seen.
These kind of competition are ignorant of Taichi. The organisor simply distorted the meaning of taichi pushing hands or they even don't understand chinese martial arts at all.
They are just created a new kind of meaningless sports.
someone do this in China does not mean it's taichi. If you treat this as part of taichi training, i'm 100% sure you will not be able to fight by TaiChi thru your whole life.
I am shure you are a graet master of internal gong-fu. That you can judge people just be reading there comment. But i will tell you why i think it should be part of the training. I think it helps you to understand how you can afect other bodys by useing youre entire body. It shows you leaks of realaxing you have, and its a great way to prepare free-pushhands without the dangerous of big injurys. Its perfect to lose feare of oponents. Just because some people use tomuch strength dosn´t mean it is
a bad methode. Taiji is a prinzip and you can put this prinzip in everything you want to.
and its not somone who does it its every biger Taijischool in China, and in many other countrys of the world. I have trained for half a year in chenjiagou, and it is at least 3 houres doing this. One point i forgot is that it is helping you to get a feeling for Fa li.
This is a great example of Taiji skills in a competitive arena. Thanks for posting. It's still amazing how some people have a distorted image of what competitive push hands should look like. Noncompetitive push hands in a learning environment is one thing, but the competitive arena has limited rules and the expression of Taiji within these rules looks pretty much like this.
maybe the practitioner is using more of force rather than soft yielding and skills. However, to correct some comments below. Tai Chi is a COMPLETE system. It has certain techniques similar to shuai jiao, white crane, throws, joint locks, and strikes that seem similar to even karate and shaolin (if u look at some chen style movements).
taiji's essence is chinese wrestling(shuaijiao)...unfortunately, in combat, taiji is not as effective as chinese wrestling. Any average wrestler can win in a taiji push hands competition without learning one-hour or taiji.... sad but true.
typo... Any average Shuaijiao fighter can win in a Taiji push hands competition without learning one-hour OF Taiji. It is a bitter and hard-to-swallow pill for most Taiji people out there...
nice try ashwix, but in 1970 60 yr old taiji master huang xingxian defeated the 40 yr old champion wrestler liao kuangcheng 26 throws to 0. liao kuang was also 10kgs heavier than huang but still couldnt touch him. wrestlers have no chance against real taiji players.

看比賽﹐一開始高個子使用的是摔跤術﹐想要捉住矮個子要把他推出圈外﹐矮個子下盤不弱﹐身子曲足姿勢擺低是一大優勢﹐高個子忽略了這點﹐結果是第一次交手就被矮個子掌控上半身﹐然後被平推出圈外。第二次交手﹐高個子試圖抓住矮個子腰身﹐似乎想把矮個子抓住丟出﹐但是這種由上至下使力的抱摔恰巧被低姿勢的矮個子逮住機會﹐反手把高個子抱住頂起然後摔倒。第三次交手﹐高個子還是沒有領悟矮個子的優勢﹐不過這次矮個子發勁時不夠鬆來不及擺脫高個子右手抱頭﹐結果雙雙一起跌倒。第四次交手﹐兩人互相抓抱﹐高個子做對了一個動作就是重心移動﹐對付下盤姿勢低的對手就該身子下盤移動重心也移動﹐可惜高個子只會死死抱住﹐不懂的何時捉起何時放手﹐結果還是雙雙一起跌倒。第五次交手﹐矮個子變化招數﹐改推做拉對付使用蠻力的高個子﹐結果是高個子自己向前扑到。

You MUSTN´T think about principles while fighting, if you have really trained enough, your body will use them on its own.

I do and it looks nothing like this. Please tell me where in the taiji texts and classics does it say that taijiquan is wrestling? To say that just disregards the rest of the art. I suppose JKD is just boxing then? How did an art where Yang Lu Chan was known to draw blood with every step end up like this? Grand Ultimate this is not. It's ego based competition. fine, if that's what floats your boat. Push hands is meant to be a training method with both people learning principles.

Perhaps my comment did not do Taiji as much justice, but much of Taiji is wrestling. I was reading somewhere that it wasn't until early to mid 20th century that Taiji was considered to have a lot of strikes in it.
When people think of wrestling, of course you think of moving people around in what looks like a forceful way but really isn't. People who talk they way you do have limited experience working with uncooperative opponents.

taiji might look very pretty when you see people doing the form. but this is freestyle push hand. this is wat it looks like when you use it for fighting. It is ugly but practical.

Wow.. you can really see the principles of taijiquan here can't you. Push hands is not a competition and this is wrestling. Where is the sticking, adhering, connect and following. Subtle power? no where to be seen.

what do pushing hands training for ?
These kind of competition are ignorant of Taichi. The organisor simply distorted the meaning of taichi pushing hands or they even don't understand chinese martial arts at all.
They are just created a new kind of meaningless sports.

someone do this in China does not mean it's taichi. If you treat this as part of taichi training, i'm 100% sure you will not be able to fight by TaiChi thru your whole life.

I am shure you are a graet master of internal gong-fu. That you can judge people just be reading there comment. But i will tell you why i think it should be part of the training. I think it helps you to understand how you can afect other bodys by useing youre entire body. It shows you leaks of realaxing you have, and its a great way to prepare free-pushhands without the dangerous of big injurys. Its perfect to lose feare of oponents. Just because some people use tomuch strength dosn´t mean it is

a bad methode. Taiji is a prinzip and you can put this prinzip in everything you want to.
and its not somone who does it its every biger Taijischool in China, and in many other countrys of the world. I have trained for half a year in chenjiagou, and it is at least 3 houres doing this. One point i forgot is that it is helping you to get a feeling for Fa li.

This is a great example of Taiji skills in a competitive arena. Thanks for posting. It's still amazing how some people have a distorted image of what competitive push hands should look like. Noncompetitive push hands in a learning environment is one thing, but the competitive arena has limited rules and the expression of Taiji within these rules looks pretty much like this.

this is wrestling.... not taichi push hand
kenleon63 4 years ago
maybe the practitioner is using more of force rather than soft yielding and skills. However, to correct some comments below. Tai Chi is a COMPLETE system. It has certain techniques similar to shuai jiao, white crane, throws, joint locks, and strikes that seem similar to even karate and shaolin (if u look at some chen style movements).

taiji's essence is chinese wrestling(shuaijiao)...unfortunately, in combat, taiji is not as effective as chinese wrestling. Any average wrestler can win in a taiji push hands competition without learning one-hour or taiji.... sad but true.

typo... Any average Shuaijiao fighter can win in a Taiji push hands competition without learning one-hour OF Taiji. It is a bitter and hard-to-swallow pill for most Taiji people out there...

nice try ashwix, but in 1970 60 yr old taiji master huang xingxian defeated the 40 yr old champion wrestler liao kuangcheng 26 throws to 0. liao kuang was also 10kgs heavier than huang but still couldnt touch him. wrestlers have no chance against real taiji players.

If this is taiji push hand than i would rather watch Sumo, Judo or western wrestling.
