a tribute to sifu dan docherty

[michaeljdocherty]

Dan Docherty is my uncle no joke!!

[catbiscuit2345]

Dan Docherty is a full contact champion who has produced full contact fighters that have beaten down ' hard style' full contact fighters.

He doesnt just teach how to push.

[JFSpringer]

Bruce Frantzis? Are you fooking smoking crack or what? The only thing you felt from Fat Boi, eldanf ... is his lard ass pushing you out of the way at the all you can eat buffet. Dan has competed for real, Boi Bruce did that way retarded Ipon crap and nothing more ...

[Xanathei]

:S... no comment....

[sifuoddjob]

Latest news, a fight started in Texas when a local martial arts school were told the burger van had ran out of cheese burgers. Middle aged tai Chi men were involved in a scuffle and local residents reported that someone may have been pushed!!!!!

[TaiChiTex]

yawn!!!



[TaiChiTex]

still would like to see DD shear some one off the floor & through the air...but I know that won't happen, why?....cause he can't do it!

[TheZhongzheng]

Roy Pink was a very large man who was sheared of the floor and knocked out cold for ten mins from a punch. Not a push. Your school need to get more rooted ;0)

[TaiChiTex]

well he may do it just fine, but is there any video of him doing it???

and fajin is not "educated force" more like hydralic force...or pulse, I have felt it from Bruce Frantzis, Zhu, tiancai & Michael Phillips...would like to see or feel it from Docherty.

[eldanf]

@TaiChiTex go and ask him in one of his workshops

[TaiChiTex]

@eldanf does he do them in the USA?

[eldanf]

@TaiChiTex have no idea but i think not.mainly in europe.on oct he is invited to my school,u r welcome..:)

[TheZhongzheng]

@TaiChiT he doesn't do youtube vids. Discharging force at the correct time in the correct way that's all forget you hydralic nonsense. That Bruce Frantzis fa jing is always demonstrated on little guys. you see him on you tube doing it. Sending tiny skinny across the room. I can send big guys flying across the room, but it's nonsense not fighting, means nothing. Simply a sudden sharp push against someone not fighting back.

[sandmanbill]

@TaiChiTex Why don't you simply get on with your own training, doing daft Fa Jings on each other which have nothing to do with fighting. Fa Jing is issuing force and this should be added in the applications. It is so boring watching videos of so called masters showing that they can push a guy a few feet. Its nothing. Dd didn't knock Roy Pink out with a silly push, it was a running thunder hand punch, but I guess you would have no idea of what that involves.

[israelifaggot]

@TaiChiTex, hey friend, what is the fajin like from bk frantsiz, i assume he must be very powerful, is he really all that?

[TaiChiTex]

@israelifaggot

yes, he has incredible power including legit fajin, an ability to grab one's mind and appear to "disappear" etc.....but, he won't show you how to do it, so what does it ultimately matter...

[israelifaggot]

@TaiChiTex, whats your opinion on the sort of power bruce kumar has compared to external fighters like mma fighters? is internal power more dangerous and powerful or just as dangerous and powerful? sorry for the questions, but u seem knowledgable and dedicated to the internal arts, a rare find.

[TaiChiTex]

@israelifaggot You know I have had many street fights in my life, have fought with many types of martial artists External & Internal & I have never been hit harder nor seen anyone move faster than a true hi level Internal stylist and they are often twice the age of these young pup MMA types...I have a teacher , Michael Phillips, who is 66 years old, 5'6" roughly and 160 lbs soaking wet & I have seen him knock out a student with a light tap to the elbow. I don't see that with others.

[TheZhongzheng]

@TaiChiTex Yeah right! ha ha yawn!!!

[sifuoddjob]

@TaiChiTex What fights ha ha ha ha , If this was in any way true I think you would try one of those pushes you are so sexually kinky about, you know, the ones that don't hurt anyone. You would get the crap booted out of you big time. oh and Michael Phillips is an old Fake! He is crap, everyone is laughing at the guy.

[TaiChiTex]

@sifuoddjob ok, well thank you for your mature commnets.....

[sifuoddjob]

@TaiChiTex What's a commnet ya Texas fucking cunt?

[eldanf]

you will do best to ask dd about what he does,thats part of a work shop.

but anyway fajing is only one part and not very important in the concept of tai ji.

[TaiChiTex]

@eldanf I disagree, if one knows true fajin, not just shoving people across the room, one can issue this "jin" and knock yo out with the slightest touch, my teacher Michael Phillips did that to one of my best & strongest students & he was literally out on his feet...was weird to watch.

[TaiChiTex]

I see plenty of applications ala external but no internal stuff...any videos of DD fajining someone?

[TheZhongzheng]

@TaiChiTex Fa Jing is educated force, to discharge at the correct time. He does this just fine !

[TaiChiTex]

@TheZhongzheng if you say so, and I ain't so little ;>)

[TheZhongzheng]

You look little compared to Bruce these days lol...

[eldanf]

@TheZhongzheng what do u mean? what bruce?i'm not in this film..

[TheZhongzheng]

@eldanf Bruce frantzis

[eldanf]

@TheZhongzheng what do u mean? what bruce? im not in this film..

[sandmanbill]

@TaiChiTex He is teaching techniques not showing Internal Strength. Go away little man.

[eldanf]

thank you.you r right.but this is yhe payment to pay in advertising publicly..

[TheZhongzheng]

@eldanf yes I guess so.

[TheZhongzheng]

Hi, just would like to say its really annoying having to remove comments from idiots who know nothing of Wudang Tai Chi and Master Dan Docherty. I have had to remove some idiots remarks from a video I put on. This is a good video and please continue to remove silly comments about my Master

[TaiChiTex]

@TheZhongzheng Wudang taiji is a marketing gimmick, taiji was not created in Wudang nor is it practiced there...some say they did invent bagua tho.

[TheZhongzheng]

@TaiChiTex true, it comes from Texas ;)

[Letsrecyclemore]

Just to balance the idiot comments, thanks for this post. Dan Docherty practices what he preaches and has my vote. Flamboyance and ostentation is not part of Tai Chi.

[TaiChiTex]

@Letsrecyclemore how about true freakin, knock you out cold power, does that count?

[andysun73]

Soundtrack sucks

[sifuoddjob]

@andysun73 Yes and you suck dick

[andysun73]

@sifuoddjob  LOL the soundtrack still sucks.

[sifuoddjob]

@andysun73 Thats true!

[TaiChiTex]

@sifuoddjob always the classy chap ain't ya ?

[sifuoddjob]

@TaiChiTex Are you going to keep on shooting your mouth off or do i have to come to your school and kick the shit out of you in front of your students?

[TaiChiTex]

@sifuoddjob Hah, I would like to see that, so would my students...you crack me up and obviously have no class....cheers bloke

[sifuoddjob]

@TaiChiTex Well you will get to see it Mr big mouth from Texas and your class will enjoy it too as you suggest. Do they hate you as much as I? You FAKE! go train in real Tai Chi instead of a bunch of FAKES!!!! I guess you are too old and out of shape to even go there! Old Fake!!!!

[icingYak]

hey - why does that one guy lie on the floor with his leg in the air for ages ? and the other guy gets up so quack??

[eldanf]

1.if u were to teach for so many years i wonder how good and energetic would u be.

2.not all that glitter is gold-sometimes very good kung fu is headen especilly when it comes to pro's like sifu dan.

3.the fact that sifu dan is still sharikg his knowlege with the world is our benfit and we should be greatfull to him.

4.if you say things like that you have no understanding or honor to the martial arts world.

[Ghostfuture]

Of all people in the martial arts world, Dan Docherty can not legitimately be protected by the idea that wu de prevents us from criticising others. Dan has done nothing BUT slag off other martial artists for years. However, fortunately, my Wu De prevents me from commenting further on Dan's very well hidden kung fu skill.

[TheZhongzheng]

@Ghostfuture Good because we really don't wish to hear your comments lol.....

[Vikingwithbone]

Another thing. It looks stupid when practical tai chi can't be seen to speak for itself, and people try to 'glam' the applications up with 'hard' music.

It looks very silly.

[TheZhongzheng]

@Vikingwithbone I don't think anything is being hidden here, Maybe you should have a go at these apps with a partner and see how effective they are for yourself. Dan is showing in a controlled way and in no way demonstrating what he could do if it were real. I pushed with him once many years ago and felt his Tai Chi first hand. Im grateful for that.

[clouddragontaichi]

always good to see dan. dont think this music suits wudang tai chi. you got any Billy Childish tunes instead?

[eldanf]

not mine anyway.

there are others.just write dd

[icingYak]

he chime's some sound times from that overdub.

[eldanf]

sorry i dont understand

[icingYak]

just soundtrack was well chosen.

Any more DD videos out there?

[gorgiegent]

This is a good video but the audio kill's it.

I got this link from a tai chi forum of Dan's

and we would greatly appreciate the original commentary.
