I've studied martial arts with some Kung Fu masters...I'm not saying the combat applications aren't real, but the degree of acting is played up a bit for this...
Martial arts is a game of Geometry and Physics on the physical side of it...
I'm sorry, I'm very open to the idea of subtle strength, but look at the chap at 0.41, he's literally *running* away. If you saw this happening with Derren Brown or some other stage hypnotist, you wouldn't think twice about ascribing psychosomatic causes.
I'd like to see the technique demonstrated against someone who isn't a student in awe of 'master's impregnable chi'.
@ironjellyreilly I have a better idea. Go meet a real sifu (not just a teacher, but a true master) and express your skepticism. Ask for a demonstration. Once you pick yourself out of the wall, you'll know.
I began studying 10 years ago with deep skepticism. I had no "awe" whatsoever. I was fully prepared to expose that it was all crap. I now have classmates who are 6'6" and weigh close to 300 pounds and I, a mere 10 year student, can uproot them and they fall down.
@ironjellyreilly so what's stopping you? I think the biggest problem with any style of kungfu is the movies and media. There is "real" kungfu out there but it's dying fast because most people who take it up want to be Jet Li or a sorcerer with"chi" powers. At the end of the day, Taijiquan is about physics. It's learning to move an 80kg fleshy boney sack in such away as to apply tonnes of pressure very quickly to a target. And it works. When done correctly and purely, not by a sorcerer ;)
Funny the mention of AiKiD.,Tthis master looks so much like O'sensei in his effortlessness, he also looks happy, like O'sensei always look on videoes.
It is best not to give my opinion here. Just enjoy what you believe and know from personal experiences, be it Taiji or Aikido. Both arts are very close related as O'Sensei learned Taiji while in China and on return, developed his Aikido.
Who comments on something's veracity ... via ONLY watching a video ... with NO FIRST-HAND EXPERIENCE???
Obviously those of you who scream fraud w/o experience are AFRAID that this MIGHT BE REAL ... AFRAID to admit that IF this IS real, you're JEALOUS of those who HAVE learned it.
Experience FIRST ... THEN formulate opinions.
Most people are so stupid.
Stop being such a bunch of n00b keyboard jockeys & go find a good teacher!
Um, I'm a bit skeptical about the falls. It is like seeing Aikido masters flipping their students with wrist locks while most of the movements are generated by their students practicing ukemi...
At first I thought that it might be possible - to make someone stagger backward does not require much energy, just great timing and ability to read when they're unbalanced. But some of these falls are way too exagerated...
Anyway, I suppose the only way for me to believe it is to experience it.
....do you all realize its hard to be a grandmaster in anything, it takes years of work, a lifetime, and even then your more than likely never to become one
What people fail to understand is the fajin skills some of the old masters have. You can't see it because the wave, kinetic chain is very small. Some people have to feel the power in order to appreciate it.
@Mike07P Yeah, what about that?! Taichi fighting is all about knees, shin kicks, elbows and the like. This is an exercise, man! Have you ever seen boxers jumping skipping ropes in the ring, or MMA people lifting kettle- or dumbells during a fight? -Didn't think so This is the same: an exercise, designed to develop certain attributes relevant to the Taichi way of fighting, fighting itself is quite different, and is all about KO-ing (or killing) people, not about pushing people around!
Oh my. I say bs. The greatest Chinese 'master' of the 20th century also concluded that taiji was bs...especially after he met all these other so-called masters. This is religious, this is yikes. Anybody ever heard of physics?
I would like to see him try that on a good grappler or MMA fighter. Funny how he is able to beat his students so easily, when all the attacks seem so weak and choreographed. At least the grapplers/MMA fighters fight for real and know what works and does not work.
i know guy's who can do very impressive soccer tricks that i can not, when we are messing around, but in a game i am able to be more effective. however there are pro's who can do both at a higher level than i am fit for.
i imagine that the old masters could be likened to the elite pro's, and todays "masters to a semi pro with good tricks that are reminiscent of the pro's but far from the same thing.
Obviously he is trained in the ways of the force. His Midi-chlorian count must be off the charts. I wonder what Jedi order he is from. I bet he could stomp Darth in the octagon for sure. Do you think he is using the Jedi Mind trick on these poor fellows.
Scientific research has shown that there is an electromagnetic field surrounding the human body. Who is to say that a Tai Chi Master can/cannot develop a sensitivity and feeling to manipulate such a field? Students of internal martial arts can more easily accept the principles being applied. Namaste.
He must be moving something from within instead of external movement, something very possibly capable to human beings, but we unconsciously hide it. Look up "savants".
This is why kung fu practitioners don't get much respect. The principles are lost when people follow rubbish like this blindly.
A lot of people when doing kung fu tend to allow themselves to be beaten by their masters because of a silly mental block or because landing an attack on your master is tantamount to disrespect.
If this is real taiji, then the students should stand square when doing the drill. If he generates the power then ppl should be taken clean off their feet.
This is real Taiji. Also Sifu Adam Mizner, and my favorite(I think he's not alive anymore) Dr. Yeung. Hundreds of disbelievers like you have been thrown just the same way by real Taiji masters. It's ludicrous, that every guy that comes out has to say "I don't believe it until I touch it". These people are tired of them. Do you have the same approach with every other thing you know nothing about?
Oh, good GOD... anyone with an understanding of push hands understands that this is NOT possible. If there was enough force given TO the guy, a good Tai Chi practitioner would let that energy move PAST him. Look at the 40 second mark... the guy looks behind him first and THEN runs into the audience.
I have noticed that none of the doubters here say they have met Huang or any of his senior students and found this to be rubbish. They all make their judgement purely on this video and occasionally hearsay. However there are plenty of posters who claim this to be real after direct experience. And even a few who say they thought it was rubbish until they felt it for themselves. Who's judgement is most to be trusted, those who have actual experience or those who've seen a video?
This video is not a fake. He is not fighting these people, they are giving him energy and he is manipulating it. Just watch him and how connected he is. If you can't see that your probably focusing on the others and how they are moving. It's not about what happens to the "attackers" it's about how he is internalizing what they are giving him. I feel bad for people who have studied martial arts for years and years and can't understand this.
I've trained with a well-respected Taiji expert who's been training for about 30ys with some of the most famous Chinese grandmasters, but I've never seen anything like this. And do you know why? Because this video is fake.
master huang didn't develop this fajing from taichi. master huang got the fajing from white crane. these movements are mainly whitecrane kungfu, but everyone is looking fat taichi movements(walls of illusion). but most masters in the past hid there true 'secrets' and thought taichi instead.
Tai-Chi is not about kinetic energy. In other words it is not about how hard you can push someone, but your electromagnetic energy, yes people do have EMF's.You do not have to believe it, and it probably does not believe in you, it is raw reality.
lol always cool is a believer. Its kind of the same thing as the god effect i think. These people REALLY believe that this magic works. I wonder, what was so dangerous, when he opened up your "chakra's" did power leak from your eyes? no wait, you turned super sayen and brushed back your shiny yellow hair into a well formed mullet. :) I am a kung fu practitioner and that video was bull. If you cannot tell, you have not fought.
to machwizz and all the ppl who thinks like him its the practice of their internal strenght and it is not FAKE. it is 50 year of practise not a 5 years gym or 15 years of real martial arts training. Its few levels up...
15 years training ah .from what i know master huang started training at age 14 and he is about 80 in the video.the highest level of his time .not surprising that people have not met anyone like him.but if you look there are people all over the world training his system look and you can find. if you dont believe then it is not true and is fake.if you believe then you can find this all over the world .i train this system and know its worth .but know quick fix years of correct practice
Oh and please spare me the "I've met someone who claimed to be able to do this stuff but he couldn't do it to me" routine because there are, of course, charlatans out there. That has nothing to do with whether or not Huang was one. There are people out there who claim to be qualified mechanics who aren't. That doesn't mean there is no such thing as a qualified mechanic.
I was taught by two of Huangs students in Brisbane Australia (Glenn Blythe and Wee Kee Jin from NZ). I have experienced being pushed like this first hand and know for a fact that this is real. I am 5'11'' and weigh about 84 kg. I am fairly strong as well. Being pushed like this is very strange; you try and resist with strength and the next minute you are flying back. The feeling is a bit like you are on a narrow branch and cannot get your balance despite the fact that you are on solid ground.
@vivekkarumudi Absolutely, it actually works much better on outsiders as they tend to resist using strangth. It is the opponents tension that allows them to be pushed. Tai Chi works through relaxation within a stable structure. No, the students aren't hypnotized.
After watchin this video, i honestly dont know what to say..one thing's for sure. as a martial artist i can definetely say that it is certainly theoretically correct, but to achieve this practically you have to be EXXXXXXXXXXXXTREEEEEEEEEMELY dedicated to such arts such as aikido / taichi, when i say extremely i mean extreme dedication to the highest fuckin degree....this stuff is possible however i cannot say if this video in partcular is fake or not
For years Mr G carpooled 3 of us to school every morning. He was a big guy, a moose. He'd let the neighborhood kids punch him in the gut. He always had his gym bag with him--spent half his days at the YMCA lifting weights.
For years, during those carpool rides, Mr. G put down martial arts. Then one day, he had a sudden respect for martial arts. At the YMCA, as his story goes, a TaiChi expert tapped his chest & sent him flying backwards across the room.
This is subjective thought, the uke's are met with the mentality that if they do not take a fall for this, proclaimed grandmaster, that they will never attain the field of enlightenment he is revered with. Sad, but this is not martial arts, rather a demonstration of how anyone can be given a placebo, and believe it's real medicine, "said metaphorically." On a side note, the music is cool. KJ81
apparently this type of energy projection is possible however i've personally have been practicing Yang style tai chi for 13 yrs and I,ve never seen anyone with this ability.My sifu talks about redirecting energy and avoiding full impact from your opponent.eg sifu had a spar yrs ago with a powerful karate guy .He was hit but not directly only 25% of the power.I personally think it's best to keep in reality.
It's for real but how do you convince a 15 year old ...dummy? You don't. Witnessed MMA laugh at this kind of stuff in Singapore and were they trounced.
15 years is nothing in Chinese martial art. This Grand Master had been doing it for more than 50 years. Most people of Chinese background understand that taiji (& wu shu) experts are always modest when dealing with other martial art experts. No real master can afford to show off or become arrogant. They believe in humility and always show respect for other masters.
You have not seen one yet? The world is a big place. How big is yours?
There are two plausible physical explanations for this.
1. This master's diet is incredibly rich in iron, so much that he can repel his students magnetically.
2. The students use their own strength to jump and roll away from the geezer.
Seriously, come on, even if he could throw them away, would they be so clumsy as to skip for five meters and then roll on the floor for a couple meters more?
I'll pay one month of my salary to anyone who can do that to me.
It may look fake to some of you, but I have been on the receiving end of another master of comparable skill. I assure you it is real, and it is pure physics too.
This stuff is possible- I've had masters use these techniques on me. However, he must be training his students improperly, because they all have terrible balance. Even after a few months of training, even if you may not be able to win a bout of push hands with a master you can avoid getting knocked ten feet by a flick of the arm and landing on your ass.
For once, just one, I would like to see this work on a big guy, perhaps an experienced fighter (MMA or other), or nightclub bouncer picked out of a crowd of bystanders. It is ALWAYS the guy's own students, handpicked for their brilliant acting /pratfall/slapstick abilities to make him look good. Which it doesn't.
Isn't this the same old guy that (believing his own hype) actually challenged a MMA guy and got slapped silly for his troubles? On youtube somewhere.
So what you're saying is that you'd like him to choose someone in the crowd who'd probably break their leg, arm, or spine in a demonstration? Cause if you don't go along with it, that's what WILL happen. They TWIST your body, and if the person doesn't fall, he gets injured. Don't be so smug.
@macnwhizz: I agree, but your statement "handpicked for their brilliant acting /pratfall/slapstick abilities" is out of place. Without proof, you can't make these claims.
I, too, want to see this form applied in a real fight. MMA excels because it combines forms unrestricted, and I like to see new forms become influential.
I'm a martial artist and bouncer of 100 kilos, rough enough, and I've touched with Huang style guys from Heaven Man Earth Taiji. Despite my greatest efforts and discernment, I was rag dolled beyond belief, like a kitten in a dog's mouth. I've also touched with posers who had the same demo. The abilities are terrifyingly real, but easy to fake, especially amongst the uninitiated who have no clue what to look for. All very counter intuitive. Seek experience, and save breath for training.
@macnwhizz This stuff works I've seen it first hand, I've even been the subject before, lol. The thing is is that there are a lot of fakes out there, and you honestly won't find a master doing things like this on youtube.
@macnwhizz givin you wont believe this response at first glance but in al honestly big MMA weight lifters are the probably the highest percentile victims of the inner heat and vibratory rate
@macnwhizz go and see for yourself then .sam tam in canada michel in texas these people are about if you really want to see find them if not stay in the cupboard
@macnwhizz I actually agree in the sense that I would like to see these sorts of videos where they have people other than the master's students, however there a couple reasons why I'm fairly certain this will never happen :
a.) the person doing the technique needs to know that the other person knows how to fall properly
b.) they arent doing it to impress(or convince) you or anyone else, they are doing it to demonstrate to people who genuinely want to learn the art
no it's not the same guy. Actually Master Huang at age 60 defeated the wrestling champion Liao Kuang-Cheng. There was a video of this event on youtube, unfortunately it's not accessible anymore: watch?v=gVBnMIjQ-Xc
@macnwhizz Hm. While I agree with the 'I want to see the little old chinese fellow demolish a bouncer' sentiment, I disagree with your assesment of this fellow's skills. He's a grandmaster for a reason, that *is* him on the video, and if this were completely based on weak-willed stooges they wouldn't fly twenty feet when he nudges them. Yes, they are told to keep loose when practicing, if they didn't they would crumple upon hitting the earth or a wall.
@TheNStormofJustice Well, most people wouldn't fly like that. And that's because they wouldn't walk it off. They would just go straight to the ground.
I've been to a few of Patrick Kellys workshops, and the issuing forces have to be experienced to be believed. I'm no weakling but was issued quite a distance. That was about 8 years ago so not sure what his level is now
weak-willed suckers who are told that if they don't behave a certain way they will suffer internal injury. None of these students look strong. Funny, isn't it that the most genuine and respected masters,like Chen Xiawang, just for example, when they toss someone while it may happen suddenly you can still see their use of jing whereas these empty force frauds do nothing apparent. It is all based on stooges.
@macnwhizz for internal schools a person never looks jacked. Becuase they do not have to work on body building. Internal school is basically science made into a art form. And internal schools is hard no matter what. It is truly something else.
@macnwhizz he is grandmaster huang. many people train under him. just by seeing this video shows lots of taiji principles all applied at a very precise timing never seen b4.
There is a Chinese saying that goes like this: Playing the finest tune to a bull is total waste of time. For skeptic like you, stay where you are and be ignorant for the rest of your life. No one is going to feel sorry for you.
@andymach33 I have yet to see one student who doesn't fall over himself. FAKE. At least a few students would catch their balance and not go stumbling. That's if they tried.
@thelineofmypeople The fact that you have been practicing martial arts for 15 years doesn't mean anything. You have never met anyone who can do this? Does absence of proof, prove a negative? No. Keep in mind that most likely you practice martial arts that is devoid of true inner development. Most martial arts - especially in the west unfortunately has the focus on the violent aspect. The inner aspect of development in almost lost in this barbaric world.
@thelineofmypeople I have been practicing for forty years and I have known people that can do this. I have known a man that could put a hole in the clouds so you could see blue sky through it while the rest of the cloud flowed around the hole. I was his live in student. You are not going to find men like this in schools that have big glass windows full of trophies. They are just selling a product. And I think you have been sold a product. Now when you see the real thing you think it's fake.
@thelineofmypeople im not trying to sound like an ass but if u find a tai chi or win chun guy and ask them to push hands and you try to flow with them ull be surprised how much this works.
At the age of 60 Huang Sheng-Shyan again demonstrated his abilities in Taiji by defeating Liao Kuang-Cheng, the Asian champion wrestler 26 throws to 0 in a fund raising event in Kuching Malaysia.
Although I dont practice martial arts, I do meditate & can't help but believe that as long as one's attitude is to be an aggressor, they will never truly be masters of the art. Is it not about intent? The Universe demands balance. If the Energy within is pure & so will the outward manifestation.Lose the ego & concentrate on perfecting what's within. Just my opinion & not to offend. Namaste
if this was so much force, why do the students come running back instantly without so much as flinching. Im pretty sure this is just a demo but i wonder whats it really is like.
oO are you shure its real ? it seems quiet unreal.. how can he throw sb like 5 metres with only moving his arm 5 cm and that slow ? oO i dont think its possible
I've been studying tai chi for 12 years under a grand master and have been thrown around quite a lot. There is no need to fake the effectiveness of the art. This kind of demo has the opposite effect. It is unconvincing.
If he is a Tai Chi master, and this video isn't fake (it is fake, but whatever), then I wonder why he lets his opponents run around in full sprint without using his legs to sweep.
And here's the question we should always ask when we see these vids:
And if he's that good, why do his students suck so bad?
@ShaolinTaoist 1: this form of combat is known as push HANDS. no strikes are to be made by the feet. 2: his students do not suck. they are just bad in comparison as he is so great.
Unless you have been pushed or hit by any martial arts master or grand master, you will never be able to understand their true power. One must experience this power before they are able to criticize. This video does not come close to expressing their true power. To the normal, untrained human being, they can apply enough force in a single tap to knock you out. Do not try any of the techniques without proper supervision.
From what i heard from a combat tai chi old master is that such demonstrations are definately due to the compliance of the students. Who is going to want to trip or flip their older master. MIght be something, but it is a show, a marketing tool. The real skill comes not in making people run away or jump backwards but to fall where they are.
Perhaps that is what he shows the ones that test beyond this dance.
Even this video undermines the full potential of energy in relation to human physiology. Human muscle is capable of turning potential energy into great amounts of kinetic energy in a small area and in a short period of time. If you look hard enough in this video you can see the great amount of force the shifu exerts, although his execution is too graceful and fluid for one to suspect he is using anything BUT force. I commend him and those who have reached this caliber.
In Malaysia, where ever this old master went, he demonstrated his unbelievable skills in front of the locals. And soon a branch was set up by the locals who had tested his power. And his was famous in Malaysia.
Amazing, his teacher was the grandson of Yang chen fu the founder of the Yang school wasnt he? In regards to brushing away people at events, taiji asks for humblness and respect. Hooligans wanting to prove a point dont deserve presence of a Master.
Sufism is the same principles. Make your inward (serenity) match your outward (beauty)
yes it's totally amazing - but genuine - and takes decades to learn and understand.
I can't say I understand it - but I've read enough, been exposed enough and seen enough videos to beleive it.
This particualr video still has my draw dropping though every time - he is just SO good ;) I think the guys h'es pushing hands with area all teacher level themselves so....!
I guess people will always try to explain in terms of what they have already heard of - but we haven't all heard of everything.
Until you have felt a real tai chi master push, which this man HAS, you have no idea how strong they are. I have trained with Muay Thai champions, wrestlers,and a 6th dan Aikido master and this guy was stronger than anyone. It's very difficult to find as there are a lt of weak Tai chi teachers around.
It is beyond anything else a demonstration put on to show his stuff, yes his students are complying, but you will never know what is fake unless you push him yourself. They aren't there to defeat him, just give him a tool to demo with.
@jesuskopp maybe... but if it's a placebo, it's one that many different tai chi teachers manage to teach their students, considering they all fly back in similar ways.. it would have to be quite a conspiracy to fake it all!
Give to them a non-student grappler and everything will be clear. They never accept, never.
I tried to meet master Chu King Hung during a stage, getting in contact with his italian representative.
I asked to try to be pushed away from the master with a touch of his cheek, as he demonstrates in a video.
They said to me first that the master had not enough time, then that I was not sufficiently proficient in qigong to stand his energy and many other bullshit like these as excuses.
i can understand why people think it's fake, it looks ridiculous. It's only when you spend time with Master Huangs students can you get an idea of how useless everything you do is to them, you become as helpless as a baby. It's got to be felt to truly believe.
Yet..... this looks entirely different from all the push hands videos I've seen, and the push hands master that I have come across. He is barely doing anything to them, and on some of them it's as if he barely touches them and they either fall down or go flying backwards. Not what I did when I got to experience it. I have a hard time believing this master would make me crumple to the ground with just a touch on my shoulder. Yes Taiji is internal, but it takes a little more than just a touch.
do you mean earl montague? if so i totally agree, he has misled many in australia. the master shown in this clip os amazing and what great contol he has. peace
Don't be distracted by the hands. Look at the feet and the body. He's rooted and is using timing, efficiency and understanding that only comes from decades of practice.
The students reactions are exagerated, but this is a demonstration not a contest. The core is real.
if you search for this master and patrick kelly, you will see the master working for the push. the students do not need to jump away as they do, he is a capable old fellow. this jumping thing is more about hypnotizing your own students, rarely works on a fighter.
nice acting... I love all your stupid comments about energy and all that crap. I am sure master has a dragon behind the scene and will fly away on it after the show. Grow up and learn some physics. You can start with conservation of momentum law. Or if this energy is so real maybe you can use it to send human to Mars or something equally useful.
I believe the students are dileberatly falling and jumping back in the demonstration in sign of respect . The Grandmaster is old but I am certain his wisdom and knowlege gain in Taiji is great.
I've studied martial arts with some Kung Fu masters...I'm not saying the combat applications aren't real, but the degree of acting is played up a bit for this...
Martial arts is a game of Geometry and Physics on the physical side of it...

It's just that my experience has traditionally demonstrated that this sort of thing is only a sort of hypnotism.
Granted, tui shou exist and can appear similar. But that's on special conditions. In combat, all of this is out the window.
Find me a guy like this, I'd love to compete with them.
If I loose I'll go become their student, pay dues, etc. If I win, I would expect a signed certificate stating I'm a master.
That's reasonable right?

Um, I'm a bit skeptical about the falls. It is like seeing Aikido masters flipping their students with wrist locks while most of the movements are generated by their students practicing ukemi...
At first I thought that it might be possible - to make someone stagger backward does not require much energy, just great timing and ability to read when they're unbalanced. But some of these falls are way too exagerated...
Anyway, I suppose the only way for me to believe it is to experience it.

yeah- mayb you should actually study some physics you know?
Whats the equation for force? Is it F = M * V ? or is it F=M*D or is it F=M*A ?

I would like to see him try that on a good grappler or MMA fighter. Funny how he is able to beat his students so easily, when all the attacks seem so weak and choreographed. At least the grapplers/MMA fighters fight for real and know what works and does not work.

i know guy's who can do very impressive soccer tricks that i can not, when we are messing around, but in a game i am able to be more effective. however there are pro's who can do both at a higher level than i am fit for.
i imagine that the old masters could be likened to the elite pro's, and todays "masters to a semi pro with good tricks that are reminiscent of the pro's but far from the same thing.

I am amazed at the level disbelief being expressed by posters here.
The 'student' at 1:07min is Wee Kee JIn. Search Kee Jin on Utube.
I have done push-hands many years back with Wee Kee Jin and I can attest that what i experienced is fully consistent with what I see on this video.
However If you want to clear your doubts about what you are seeing in this video you could always enroll in one of Kee Jins Tai Chi workshops.

Scientific research has shown that there is an electromagnetic field surrounding the human body. Who is to say that a Tai Chi Master can/cannot develop a sensitivity and feeling to manipulate such a field? Students of internal martial arts can more easily accept the principles being applied.

This is why kung fu practitioners don't get much respect. The principles are lost when people follow rubbish like this blindly.
A lot of people when doing kung fu tend to allow themselves to be beaten by their masters because of a silly mental block or because landing an attack on your master is tantamount to disrespect.
If this is real taiji, then the students should stand square when doing the drill. If he generates the power then ppl should be taken clean off their feet.

I have noticed that none of the doubters here say they have met Huang or any of his senior students and found this to be rubbish. They all make their judgement purely on this video and occasionally hearsay. However there are plenty of posters who claim this to be real after direct experience. And even a few who say they thought it was rubbish until they felt it for themselves. Who's judgement is most to be trusted, those who have actual experience or those who've seen a video?

This video is not a fake. He is not fighting these people, they are giving him energy and he is manipulating it. Just watch him and how connected he is. If you can't see that your probably focusing on the others and how they are moving. It's not about what happens to the "attackers" it's about how he is internalizing what they are giving him. I feel bad for people who have studied martial arts for years and years and can't understand this.

I was taught by two of Huangs students in Brisbane Australia (Glenn Blythe and Wee Kee Jin from NZ). I have experienced being pushed like this first hand and know for a fact that this is real. I am 5'11'' and weigh about 84 kg. I am fairly strong as well. Being pushed like this is very strange; you try and resist with strength and the next minute you are flying back. The feeling is a bit like you are on a narrow branch and cannot get your balance despite the fact that you are on solid ground.

For years Mr G carpooled 3 of us to school every morning. He was a big guy, a moose. He'd let the neighborhood kids punch him in the gut. He always had his gym bag with him--spent half his days at the YMCA lifting weights.
For years, during those carpool rides, Mr. G put down martial arts. Then one day, he had a sudden respect for martial arts. At the YMCA, as his story goes, a TaiChi expert tapped his chest & sent him flying backwards across the room.

This is subjective thought, the uke's are met with the mentality that if they do not take a fall for this, proclaimed grandmaster, that they will never attain the field of enlightenment he is revered with. Sad, but this is not martial arts, rather a demonstration of how anyone can be given a placebo, and believe it's real medicine, "said metaphorically." On a side note, the music is cool. KJ81

@thelineofmypeople,
15 years is nothing in Chinese martial art. This Grand Master had been doing it for more than 50 years. Most people of Chinese background understand that taiji (& wu shu) experts are always modest when dealing with other martial art experts. No real master can afford to show off or become arrogant. They believe in humility and always show respect for other masters.

There are two plausible physical explanations for this.
1. This master's diet is incredibly rich in iron, so much that he can repel his students magnetically.
2. The students use their own strength to jump and roll away from the geezer.
Seriously, come on, even if he could throw them away, would they be so clumsy as to skip for five meters and then roll on the floor for a couple meters more?

This stuff is possible- I've had masters use these techniques on me. However, he must be training his students improperly, because they all have terrible balance.

For once, just one, I would like to see this work on a big guy, perhaps an experienced fighter (MMA or other), or nightclub bouncer picked out of a crowd of bystanders. It is ALWAYS the guy's own students, handpicked for their brilliant acting /pratfall/slapstick abilities to make him look good. Which it doesn't.
Isn't this the same old guy that (believing his own hype) actually challenged a MMA guy and got slapped silly for his troubles? On youtube somewhere.

So what you're saying is that you'd like him to choose someone in the crowd who'd probably break their leg, arm, or spine in a demonstration? Cause if you don't go along with it, that's what WILL happen. They TWIST your body, and if the person doesn't fall, he gets injured. Don't be so smug.

Unless you have been pushed or hit by any martial arts master or grand master, you will never be able to understand their true power. One must experience this power before they are able to criticize. This video does not come close to expressing their true power. To the normal, untrained human being, they can apply enough force in a single tap to knock you out. Do not try any of the techniques without proper supervision.
AsianSuperNinja 2 years ago 2
From what i heard from a combat tai chi old master is that such demonstrations are definately due to the compliance of the students. Who is going to want to trip or flip their older master. MIght be something, but it is a show, a marketing tool. The real skill comes not in making people run away or jump backwards but to fall where they are.
Perhaps that is what he shows the ones that test beyond this dance.

Even this video undermines the full potential of energy in relation to human physiology. Human muscle is capable of turning potential energy into great amounts of kinetic energy in a small area and in a short period of time. If you look hard enough in this video you can see the great amount of force the shifu exerts, although his execution is too graceful and fluid for one to suspect he is using anything BUT force. I commend him and those who have reached this caliber.

Yet..... this looks entirely different from all the push hands videos I've seen, and the push hands master that I have come across. He is barely doing anything to them, and on some of them it's as if he barely touches them and they either fall down or go flying backwards. Not what I did when I got to experience it. I have a hard time believing this master would make me crumple to the ground with just a touch on my shoulder. Yes Taiji is internal, but it takes a little more than just a touch.

The 'master' you see here is a fake... This demonstration is just that. A show put on for people to go 'awe'.

They never - NEVER - accept to demonstrate with non students. Does it mean anything to you?

Don't be distracted by the hands. Look at the feet and the body. He's rooted and is using timing, efficiency and understanding that only comes from decades of practice.
The students reactions are exagerated, but this is a demonstration not a contest. The core is real.

I can't say for certain whether they're faking it or not, but I can say that my own experience with my push hands teacher is very similar.
The second my teacher touches you he takes control of your center and you're putty in his hands.
The jumping is to keep your balance so you don't fall over. It's not for effect. And it IS pure physics.

if you search for this master and patrick kelly, you will see the master working for the push. the students do not need to jump away as they do, he is a capable old fellow. this jumping thing is more about hypnotizing your own students, rarely works on a fighter.

nice acting... I love all your stupid comments about energy and all that crap. I am sure master has a dragon behind the scene and will fly away on it after the show. Grow up and learn some physics. You can start with conservation of momentum law. Or if this energy is so real maybe you can use it to send human to Mars or something equally useful.

I believe the students are dileberatly falling and jumping back in the demonstration in sign of respect . The Grandmaster is old but I am certain his wisdom and knowlege gain in Taiji is great.
