If this is original Taiji then I have been fooled by one of the registered Grand Masters in Beijing during my years of training there. But then again, this happens in the USA, where everybody is an expert after watching a video once :-) Poor girl student.
His form and stances are great. His movements are so natural and fluid. Anyone who thinks they could slip in on him really should rethink their chances. If you think speed or power would bypass his defenses, you would be mistaken.
@pryzed1 some people like to have qaulity over qauntity....I only have three students at any one time, so I dont need a Gym , (living in a temperate climate ) most of my training is out doors
The problem with most martial arts is that they teach you to love your enemy and urge you to use as little force as possible.
Id love to find one that teaches you to have the mentality to want to maliciously inflict injury on your opponent maximizing the suffering and dehabilitation endured. A style that is as painful and disabling as possible, preferring permanent injury over just temporarily disabling someone.
@Hategrin This is not a 'problem' - this is what martial arts are about. It is never intended to actually inflict serious injuries but to defend yourself. Thus, it is important to have enough self-control and discipline, just as much as the thought that your opponent is just as much of a living being as you are. You should treat them with care and not use violence to force yourself onto them.
I disagree. Michael Johnson, one of the world's fastest sprinters in his time had, terrible running form. Master Lao Tzu said: "Journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." To master technical form in any discipline you have to start slow. For example in golf when you are learning the swing you are often taught to swing a half or a quarter strength first. If you can't perfect the fighting form doing it slowly how do you expect to do it correctly at full speed?
I'm sure you can beat me up. I'm not a fighter and wasn't commenting on your skills as a fighter so chill out tough guy. I could be mistaken but judging from your comments you seem to be missing the point as to why Tai Chi is practiced slowly, as explained to me: partly it is for discipline and meditative reasons but it is also for technical perfection. Obviously when applied in combat situation it is sped up to matched the opponent's speed. Sorry if I offended you.
@tonyvalente lol@ the Eddie Murphy! Its funny you speak of balance because that's what Tai Chi is all about. A true master of Tai Chi will have mastered the yin and the yang of the martial art, the soft (slow) and the hard (fast). Don't get me wrong, now I ain't saying that the average hippie doing this can take out Chuck Norris in a fight to the death, but I'd wager a master of Tai Chi with full contact experience would be able to hold their own in a sparing match with against systems
The thing is there are a lot of rules in the cage. No palms, for example, which are far more damaging than fists. No groin strikes, no eye gouges, no deliberate joint breaking, no authorization to kill. All of these change the game. It makes MMA a sport, not a full combative event. And that's the difference.
@Spartacus1859 "The thing is there are a lot of rules in the cage. No palms, for example, which are far more damaging than fists. No groin strikes, no eye gouges"
All of this was legal in the UFC in the past, with the same MA styles being dominant, and some MMA orgs still allow this stuff.
"no deliberate joint breaking"
Actually "joint breaking" is completely legal, and always has been. The whole point is to break bones, incapacitate, or KO someone. This is how MMA fights end.
only the people that practice tai chi or ba gua see the true power of its moves the others only talk crap ultil get their ass kiked by a tai chi fighter
plenty of fighting fantasists on here , always funny to read .
roberto sharpe is a master of multiple fighting arts , an ex lawyer and built like the incredible hulk [dont let those clothes fool you, google for images ]
lovely guy though, once said that whenever he has been attacked he has seen it as just a weird way of the attacker asking for a martial arts lesson.
in this he explains how the tai chi forms/ movements have direct links in other martial arts/ fighting styles
@kodi1969 Do you follow all of his clips and write the same thing? I've never met the dude but I'm sure he wouldnt give a shit about people judging and hating on him.
Any 1 that say Tai Chi is`nt a real martial art cant fight. MMA & BJJ are not real martial arts. they are sports with rules. Real life & fights have no rules. any 1 stupid enough to try BJJ in a real fight against 2 or 3 attackers is a moron.
& any 1 dumb enough to try & kick a Tai Chi fighter with kick boxing or taikwon do is also looking to get their leg broken.
& for those of you that think this guy is a bum, So were many of the great martial artists in history. They were dusty wanderers.
@houston2nite :Dude have you ever been in a street fight? or at least have you ever fight an aikido person?? problably a Tai Chi or an Aikido guy would kick your ass up if you fight them with MMA or some stuff like that. You should fight first instead of make judgements of a youtube video.

I'd love to learn Bagua. I'll always be a Tae Kwon Do person, but Bagua is something that could help expand your outlook on fighting as a whole. Not MMA or any of that crap, just fighting. Being able to flow with a persons actions. Just watching Roberto I've already been able to pick up some Tai Chi and Bagua tricks that have helped me to learn to manipulate others easily without exerting to much strength.
then you and i should fight.. you use your super tia chi, and ill beat the shit out of you with my kickboxing.. actually ill only use leg strikes till your eyes tear up... and then ill let you quit.. but i will laugh...
@houston2nite I will take up you challenge houston2nite... How much you want to put on the match? lets see what happens when my ( as you call it ) super tai chi shatters your bones like glass. . YOU WILL BE GIVING ME YOUR TEARS HOUSTON...
LOOK FOLKS... if you want to learn to fight.. start with boxing, judo, and then move up to kickboxing and bjj... dont waste your time with this BS. it wont help you in a fight, it will just get you confident enough to get really hurt. if you doubt.. ask this.. why are there no thai chi, bogua, coperia , akido, etc fighters in mma? gee i wonder.
Most of those arts would be ineffective in mma due to being illegal in mma or a useless technique. For example Akido techniques manipulate the small joints around the hand( wrists, fingers etc). Which is illegal in mma and is why you don't really see any fighters using akido in mma because if they have a akido wrist lock on you its either you get your wrist broken and continue the fight or tap out. But some do use akido concepts of joint manipulation and modify to there own needs.

@HermannTheGreat And that's why you would probably get your ass beat by 99 percent of the planet. Because you say, this guy looks like this, but he can't fight. Never, EVER base someones fighting skills on how they look. That is a golden rule.
Yep, I learned that as well. If it's one thing I learned in any of my training either in MMA or in my young Taekwondo days, it's never base how well someone fights on how they look. I am a pretty decent grappler (BJJ) and I'm known as a very quiet, timid person, Catholic boy etc lol But I've tapped out guys that come into the gym with crazy mohawks and talk a big game. I'm not saying I'm awesome, or even a good grappler. But looking/acting scary has LITTLE to do with actual fighting ability
@dekal1 True words, Interesting is... that in Ninjutsu for example they have the philosophy... the stronger you look the more you are A TARGET, let people underestimate you... BIG ADVANTAGE!!! Aren´t agents and combat instructors in the army (who i have seen)smaller and leaner than the most soldiers??? Experience, Skill, trained instincts, self confidence, knowledge ... IF THEY ALL ARE AUTOMIZED LIKE REFLEXES... so u when u not have to think about actions and reaction -> Size doesn´t matter then
@gonzoderp of course, and because of that u learn with turkish special forces... AND in competitions u loose against them!! EVERYTHING RESEARCHABLE BY THE INTERNET... LOOK for it and then talk...
No matter which style u learned, CQC or MCMAP-many influences of foreign arts its all about technique and the will to survive... it is better to know special techniques of one art or style or system, instead being in a state of knowing nothing. greets by formely special forces member "bordo bereli" ME
@AFKslashSLITTING a guy from china who is fluent in kung fu or the martial arts would dominate an MMA fighter ok, sure the MMA guy would get a take down and try to have gay sex with him but the chinese wouldnt go for that they could counter before u could say pass the peas, what im sayin is an MMA guy would not stand a chance to a dedicated disciplined chinese martial artist. all MMA guys are is a bunch of rowdys horny to get in theyre next fight
@Sinan97082 It really doesn't. We are all humans and share the same vital organs that keep us functioning. As far as getting the most damaging punches, that doesn't have to do with size either. Body mechanics is the key to learning how to get more powerful punches.
@dekal1 Women can never be as good at men at combat. also 50% of battle is intimidation.the other 50% is not letting your opponents read your moves and watching your footing.
@ApprenticeOfAnubis m8 you shouldnt juge ppl yannoe i know women that will beat me at martshal arts i do it iknow not to juge ppl i went againts some 1 for my 1st fight he was a betta belt then me he looked fucking scary i thought i was gonna get beat up but no i beat him 9-0
@dekal1 somone who does not look muscular or intimidating in combat, proves they lack the knowledge to the art of war and that they lack incredible amounts of Discipline, what you hear and see with your eyes is what is real and your body is in the same catagory as that. if everyone was born equal and had the same capabilties to achieve great combat skills then civilization would not exist because there would not be leaders nor people to think of how to build structures. people are different..
@HermannTheGreat that's something you never wanna say to this guy's face. the ones who don't look like much are the ones who can kick your arse in a heartbeat
self-defense ? spreading wings ? wtf ? i'd grab them longish hair and beat the shit out of this fool with his head over the pavement - that is street fighting
better get rid of this shit hanging from under that cap
lets be honest folks, the facts are that 96 percent of the tai chi world ccouldn't fight there way out of a wet paper bag, but the other 4 percent are truelly to be watched and have great power and talent.that 4 percent will smash the shit out of many of mixed martial arts self proclaimed tough guys. I have trained mma fighters and played with some china's best. they all have a real chance, the difference is, if an mma guy wins the dude gets knocked out. If the Chinese wins the man is dead. fact
@12THEANVIL1 While this can be valid, the self proclaimed tough guys aren't valid competition for those who can actually practically use Tai Chi in a fight. Tai Chi seems to have some wasted movement to me, and I'm a martial artist as well, I am not trying to say you're wrong, you're not. But in MMA the object is not to kill, just to win the fight, an MMA fighter is perfectly capable of delivering death with his or her strikes as well. MMA is a sport, but still deadly.
@12THEANVIL1 just because mma is sport doesn't make the techniques any less deadly. combat between professionals is more or less a crap shoot, unless you're in a ring and your working for points and not the kill.
@micsir888 I wonder if I can learn to swim by performing swimming moves on land, veeeeery slowly for 30 years without ever getting wet, ever. A person trained in that deadly art of swimming would kill Michael Phelps if they were in the ocean where there are no rules.
@micsir888 Looks like using analogies to explain points is way over your head. Let me try a different method. If two people fought in a cage, but with absolutely no rules and in every other way exactly like a "street fight", and one person won decisively, would you expect that person to also win outside of this magical cage?
@Ljenkins9000 you're a classic editorialist. you only use words to affirm whatever pointless fact your trying to make. try and make some sense instead of trying to make a point. a fight is a fight, pads are pads, rules are riles. mix them all together and you don't have a street fight. now magically disappear.
"you only use words to affirm whatever pointless fact your trying to make"
I use actual examples. All empirical evidence supports my case. Talking to people like you is much like trying to convince people who are part of a cult that what they believe is bullshit.
You talk about rules and "pads" as though it makes the outcome of fights completely different from a "street fight" when in fact MMA and the UFC began with neither, yet you still believe it was somehow vastly different in nature.
@Ljenkins9000 Your fish out of water example was particularily poignant and relavant. If you want something that looks like it's cult related take a look at your home page which is riddled in the words MMA. I've been in and talked my way out of a lot of REAL fights. If you don't get the difference between a fight with no ref and pads vs. broken beer bottles don't comment. I don't mean you to go out and test your metal either, just saying. MMA's are fun, but it's just a sideshow to the real deal.
@micsir888 "If you don't get the difference between a fight with no ref and pads vs. broken beer bottles don't comment"
So far I have never ever seen a fight that involved broken beer bottles, either in real life or caught on tape. It only seems to happen in movies. Of course, extremely unlikely fight scenarios which you can't really train for are what you people obsess about. I'm waiting for another "good luck grappling with 10 people in boiling tar" comeback (real example, btw).
@Ljenkins9000 i've worked as a barman,so... I've seen people stabbed by bottles, seen a guy pick up a metal pole in the alley and send sparks flying by slashing it across the brick wall bearing down on a guy who was smart enough to run. if all yo know is sport fighting trust me you're right about one thing there is no martial art that can prepare you for a real fight. the only one living in a rant/ fantasy world here is you. don't ever think you can defend yourself until you've met a crazy mofo.
And right there you lost me. First off, there is a surprisingly high percentage of ppl on youtube who either worked as a bartender or a bouncer. I just don't believe you guys anymore. Secondly, your anecdotal evidence proves nothing and is the most unreliable kind of evidence there is. I have friends who have been in barfights and won using BJJ, but I do not bring that up as evidence. Instead I use things we CAN talk about, like style vs style fights.
@Ljenkins9000 yes, you are right, yes, i am living in a movie, no you don't sound opinionated and unrelenting. you're impossible to talk to, a real troll, a real chump. i just wish half of you guys showed would show their true colors more often in RL. but you don't do you? you talk your shit and discredit people with real life stories, because you can't believe that outside your little box crazy uncontrolled things happen like broken bottles and wars. it's all so surreal when your life is a box.
@micsir888 "i just wish half of you guys showed would show their true colors more often in RL. but you don't do you?"
Yeah, we'll just stick to fighting no holds barred fights and not making excuses about rules and referees. You true martial artists can continue making up stories about working as a bouncer for 20 years and beating up 20 MMA thugs and ninjas armed with broken bottles and knives every night.
@Ljenkins9000 if you can't relate to people having worked in clubs as bouncers or bartenders you might want to wake up to the fact that thoe people you are talking too probably are telling the truth. who do you think goes and trains to know self-defense dipshit? it's people who work in security and put their lives on the line so assholes like you can go blow off some steam without getting gutted by those crazy-eyed freaks that would just as easily beat you up as much as they would their dog.
@micsir888 "if you can't relate to people having worked in clubs as bouncers or bartenders you might want to wake up to the fact that thoe people you are talking too probably are telling the truth"
Oh yeah, like Stoval who said EVERY NIGHT for 20 years he got in fights with 20 armed guys, and later on they came to him in humbleness after he beat all of them up at the same time, so that he could teach them his superior TMAs.
Sorry, but if you really believe this shit you should kill yourself.
@Ljenkins9000 i think you've read this thread through and through and assume I know what the hell your talking about. who the fuck is stoval? who the fuck are you for that matter? i have said nothing about my background and you know everything about me. why? because idiots like have a one track mind. i'm not stoval and i didn't care for your fisherman semantics. i have nothing to prove, only you to disprove. pm me a pic of one of your bloody fists, if your all that. get beat, get real.
@micsir888 It just gets ridiculous, the amount of unprovable bullshit people use as proof in their arguments. You have to realize that your anecdotal evidence means nothing to me or anyone else on the internet. It is not a valid mode of making sound arguments here (UNLESS you have video evidence to support it, of course). There are certain things we can talk about though, which can be verified easily over the internet, such as statistics and the entire history of fighting and martial arts.
@Ljenkins9000 Sorry for barging in on here, but as a third person looking at this from the outside, can you both please stop filling up the comments page and argue over some other website please?
By the way, arguing over martial arts is a lot like arguing over opinions; there's no point, since the other person is entitled to think whatever they want, and they won't change their thoughts unless they want to.
@micsir888 If your martial art can't even teach you to fight well against one person hand to hand, what makes you believe it can teach you to take on 5 guys with broken bottles?
@12THEANVIL1 they only live because there's a referee and they're athletes... technically once someone is knocked out you could just kick them in the back of the head or neck and they'd die easily enough. your statement is completely retarded lol.
@12THEANVIL1 i agree to some point remember that mma has rules soo he cant actually kill him..imagine there was no referee to stop the fight? everyone would be dead mma , and also remmeber alot of mma fightters have some traditional martia art expierienced soo just because what you see in the cage is a down graded, appropriate version of their true skill doesnt make them any lesss dangerous and also take into account the physical training.
I did a little bit of Tai Chi. It's a wonderful art, and it is very relaxing. Also if you look at some the moves and speed them up, you can definitely see the combat applications of each pose. I do wish I was able to continue, but sadly I transfered schools and am now learning Krav Maga.
Do not underestimate tai chi. What you see old women do slowly are the basic 24 poses of tai chi, which are, when used fastly, very powerful. Through the use of those you neutralize your opponent's attack and you its energy against themselves. Of course, a 60 years old person is not going to use the techniques tht way, they just use it for relaxing u.u
How many of you losers w/ the negative comments are UFC guys who run around w/ tapout shirts??
You guys think just because you watch a UFC fight that suddenly your martial arts masters! That you can beat up anybody in a bar fight because you were watching Anderson Sylva and GSP 30 min. ago?
How many of you fatasses can even pick up your leg to throw a kick, or your arm to throw a punch?
You have no right to criticize any martial artist of any discipline.
@Minatour94 Well said! But honestly: Bagua and the internal arts are the best for maintaining health and self defense ability. But you gotta admit the BJJ/MMA training is WWAAAYYYY better for living out ones underlying desires for rolling around and caressing the private parts of ones' boyfriends! There you have it: Traditional martial arts -the only MA that's suitable for straight people!
@Minatour94 As you have no right to criticize MMA fighters, MMA stands for Mixed Martial Arts, so it's not just cage fighting, it's anyone who has taken more than one style of martial art, and practices it. I've taken all the traditional MMA styles, and then some, now I'm a practicing capoeirista. I've never started a fight, or instigated one, but people who study "traditional" martial arts seem to believe they're naturally superior. I think that's funny
in sun set park brooklyn i always see the old chinos out there mobb deep doing this tai chi shit lol they probly invision all the young mother fuckaz who make fun of them lol
@azreal289 ,he said in one of his clips he did law ,i guess that whats great about the USA ,if you work hard you can do anything regardless of looks or race !
u know Mr.gruvie Ive passed by your page for quite a while. As a young inspiring stundent of the Martial arts I can honestly say I like your stlye. You are real there are not many like you. people who stay true to the arts and grow. good job,ur cool
@bambelibu There is a surprising amount of similarity between multiple arts. There is just as much difference, but if you start looking at similarities between all the arts and discard all the differences between two particular arts, you will end up with a nearly complete technique list from all arts. There are very, very few things that are unique to only one style. Once you understand movement and anatomy you understand fighting, and start to see how similar the styles all are.
The thing about that section where he has her do the arm grab and come around, is as he brings his right hand around, instead of just grabbing the elbow, he could snap the arm there and sieze the joint and continue with his other hand. Or even just snapping the elbow could end the fight (most people aren't inclined to continue when their arm gets broken that quick). But still... I love the techniques demonstrated.
I noticed at 2:00 she could go into pull the sparrow by the tail or enter golden cock stands one leg very easy at that point. On the single whip if you pull the elbow more to right chest side with lotis palm so the block will come faster.Never saw that push hands in Ba Gua before have to check on that one. If there is I need to know it. Interesting palm changes walking the void. I do a similar form of hands, weapons & elbows, looks like yours has them mixed together, nice.
@HASSDICH62 - This person DOES know what he is doing. Maybe you're jealous of a "Jewish Girl" learning from a Black Man? From your comment, the only thing she can learn from you is Malice. You have a dead heart.

@TheTweak0r agree this is usualy happening because of their weak emotions like jealousy or fear (i mean about their bad comments) if they dont like it then why are they seeing this videos? anyway . he is good.
ok for any other retard the dude ninja fag said foot ball made him tougher and some how able to take iron body shit so i told him no foot ball is gay and its conditioning is no where near as intense as iron body training so before you go runing your mouths suck my balls cuz iron body is fucking hard and mma sucks these two harry nuts TRADITIONAL KUNG FU FOR LIFE
@EDxAto3 haha its all good man just fucking kids are stupid these day at least you manage to take it in a good way and half way see what im saying so for that your earn THE SMARTEST PERSON TO VIEW THIS VID ON YOUTUBE AWARD go tell your friends your smart cuz you deserve it lol have a good day
@EDxAto3 hHa OK I JUST READ it it does sound like im insulting you a bit but no im not insulting you lol any one who watches kung fu vids and appreciates them is cool in my book......i made my own mini form the other day it felt kick ass cuz it was organic ass fuck
@Caisamo Dude that is as disrespectfull as you can get..These people dedicate there time to teach people and let there skill be video taped and ur gonna straight talk shit to then...dude u need an attitude adjustment
You gotta wonder... when you see those large groups of grandmas and grandpas practicing Tai Chi in the morning down in C-Town, are the envisioning cracking someone in the ribs and snapping ppls necks. Or are they just playing with the wind.
I hate it when people think that martial arts is just for fighting an opponent. But It is fighting our self. Your own Arrogance, and our lack of Dissipline. Do you really think that people who turn 80 will be doing the same thing they did at 50. Tai chi is meant to fight aging and fatigue. Were not Goku so no we won't fly but we will live better lives.
lol. you fight yourself so in the end you fight other people. everything in martial arts was originally desinged to make you better than your opponent. the only reason people are expanding martial arts into other areas is because its no longer the best way to martially prevail over others.
I think the master was poking smot before the lessons

@tonyvalente
I disagree. Michael Johnson, one of the world's fastest sprinters in his time had, terrible running form. Master Lao Tzu said: "Journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." To master technical form in any discipline you have to start slow. For example in golf when you are learning the swing you are often taught to swing a half or a quarter strength first. If you can't perfect the fighting form doing it slowly how do you expect to do it correctly at full speed?

The thing is there are a lot of rules in the cage. No palms, for example, which are far more damaging than fists. No groin strikes, no eye gouges, no deliberate joint breaking, no authorization to kill. All of these change the game. It makes MMA a sport, not a full combative event. And that's the difference.

Actually "joint breaking" is completely legal, and always has been. The whole point is to break bones, incapacitate, or KO someone. This is how MMA fights end.

roberto sharpe is a master of multiple fighting arts , an ex lawyer and built like the incredible hulk [dont let those clothes fool you, google for images ]
lovely guy though, once said that whenever he has been attacked he has seen it as just a weird way of the attacker asking for a martial arts lesson.
in this he explains how the tai chi forms/ movements have direct links in other martial arts/ fighting styles

Any 1 that say Tai Chi is`nt a real martial art cant fight. MMA & BJJ are not real martial arts. they are sports with rules. Real life & fights have no rules. any 1 stupid enough to try BJJ in a real fight against 2 or 3 attackers is a moron.
& any 1 dumb enough to try & kick a Tai Chi fighter with kick boxing or taikwon do is also looking to get their leg broken.
& for those of you that think this guy is a bum, So were many of the great martial artists in history. They were dusty wanderers.

@houston2nite :Dude have you ever been in a street fight? or at least have you ever fight an aikido person?? problably a Tai Chi or an Aikido guy would kick your ass up if you fight them with MMA or some stuff like that. You should fight first instead of make judgements of a youtube video.

I'd love to learn Bagua. I'll always be a Tae Kwon Do person, but Bagua is something that could help expand your outlook on fighting as a whole. Not MMA or any of that crap, just fighting. Being able to flow with a persons actions. Just watching Roberto I've already been able to pick up some Tai Chi and Bagua tricks that have helped me to learn to manipulate others easily without exerting to much strength.

Most of those arts would be ineffective in mma due to being illegal in mma or a useless technique. For example Akido techniques manipulate the small joints around the hand( wrists, fingers etc). Which is illegal in mma and is why you don't really see any fighters using akido in mma because if they have a akido wrist lock on you its either you get your wrist broken and continue the fight or tap out. But some do use akido concepts of joint manipulation and modify to there own needs.

Yep, I learned that as well. If it's one thing I learned in any of my training either in MMA or in my young Taekwondo days, it's never base how well someone fights on how they look. I am a pretty decent grappler (BJJ) and I'm known as a very quiet, timid person, Catholic boy etc lol But I've tapped out guys that come into the gym with crazy mohawks and talk a big game. I'm not saying I'm awesome, or even a good grappler. But looking/acting scary has LITTLE to do with actual fighting ability

@12THEANVIL1 While this can be valid, the self proclaimed tough guys aren't valid competition for those who can actually practically use Tai Chi in a fight. Tai Chi seems to have some wasted movement to me, and I'm a martial artist as well, I am not trying to say you're wrong, you're not. But in MMA the object is not to kill, just to win the fight, an MMA fighter is perfectly capable of delivering death with his or her strikes as well. MMA is a sport, but still deadly.
theOriginalBurgos96 9 months ago
@12THEANVIL1 just because mma is sport doesn't make the techniques any less deadly. combat between professionals is more or less a crap shoot, unless you're in a ring and your working for points and not the kill.

@micsir888 Looks like using analogies to explain points is way over your head. Let me try a different method. If two people fought in a cage, but with absolutely no rules and in every other way exactly like a "street fight", and one person won decisively, would you expect that person to also win outside of this magical cage?
Ljenkins9000 8 months ago
@Ljenkins9000 you're a classic editorialist. you only use words to affirm whatever pointless fact your trying to make. try and make some sense instead of trying to make a point. a fight is a fight, pads are pads, rules are riles. mix them all together and you don't have a street fight. now magically disappear.
micsir888 8 months ago
"you only use words to affirm whatever pointless fact your trying to make"
I use actual examples. All empirical evidence supports my case. Talking to people like you is much like trying to convince people who are part of a cult that what they believe is bullshit.
You talk about rules and "pads" as though it makes the outcome of fights completely different from a "street fight" when in fact MMA and the UFC began with neither, yet you still believe it was somehow vastly different in nature.
Ljenkins9000 8 months ago
@Ljenkins9000 Your fish out of water example was particularily poignant and relavant. If you want something that looks like it's cult related take a look at your home page which is riddled in the words MMA. I've been in and talked my way out of a lot of REAL fights. If you don't get the difference between a fight with no ref and pads vs. broken beer bottles don't comment. I don't mean you to go out and test your metal either, just saying. MMA's are fun, but it's just a sideshow to the real deal.
micsir888 8 months ago
@micsir888 "If you don't get the difference between a fight with no ref and pads vs. broken beer bottles don't comment"
So far I have never ever seen a fight that involved broken beer bottles, either in real life or caught on tape. It only seems to happen in movies. Of course, extremely unlikely fight scenarios which you can't really train for are what you people obsess about. I'm waiting for another "good luck grappling with 10 people in boiling tar" comeback (real example, btw).
Ljenkins9000 8 months ago
@Ljenkins9000 i've worked as a barman,so... I've seen people stabbed by bottles, seen a guy pick up a metal pole in the alley and send sparks flying by slashing it across the brick wall bearing down on a guy who was smart enough to run. if all yo know is sport fighting trust me you're right about one thing there is no martial art that can prepare you for a real fight. the only one living in a rant/ fantasy world here is you. don't ever think you can defend yourself until you've met a crazy mofo.
micsir888 8 months ago
@micsir888 "i've worked as a barman,so..."
And right there you lost me. First off, there is a surprisingly high percentage of ppl on youtube who either worked as a bartender or a bouncer. I just don't believe you guys anymore. Secondly, your anecdotal evidence proves nothing and is the most unreliable kind of evidence there is. I have friends who have been in barfights and won using BJJ, but I do not bring that up as evidence. Instead I use things we CAN talk about, like style vs style fights.

@Ljenkins9000 yes, you are right, yes, i am living in a movie, no you don't sound opinionated and unrelenting. you're impossible to talk to, a real troll, a real chump. i just wish half of you guys showed would show their true colors more often in RL. but you don't do you? you talk your shit and discredit people with real life stories, because you can't believe that outside your little box crazy uncontrolled things happen like broken bottles and wars. it's all so surreal when your life is a box.

@micsir888 "i just wish half of you guys showed would show their true colors more often in RL. but you don't do you?"
Yeah, we'll just stick to fighting no holds barred fights and not making excuses about rules and referees. You true martial artists can continue making up stories about working as a bouncer for 20 years and beating up 20 MMA thugs and ninjas armed with broken bottles and knives every night.
Ljenkins9000 8 months ago
@Ljenkins9000 if you can't relate to people having worked in clubs as bouncers or bartenders you might want to wake up to the fact that thoe people you are talking too probably are telling the truth. who do you think goes and trains to know self-defense dipshit? it's people who work in security and put their lives on the line so assholes like you can go blow off some steam without getting gutted by those crazy-eyed freaks that would just as easily beat you up as much as they would their dog.

@micsir888 It just gets ridiculous, the amount of unprovable bullshit people use as proof in their arguments. You have to realize that your anecdotal evidence means nothing to me or anyone else on the internet. It is not a valid mode of making sound arguments here (UNLESS you have video evidence to support it, of course). There are certain things we can talk about though, which can be verified easily over the internet, such as statistics and the entire history of fighting and martial arts.

Do not underestimate tai chi. What you see old women do slowly are the basic 24 poses of tai chi, which are, when used fastly, very powerful. Through the use of those you neutralize your opponent's attack and you its energy against themselves. Of course, a 60 years old person is not going to use the techniques tht way, they just use it for relaxing u.u

@bambelibu There is a surprising amount of similarity between multiple arts. There is just as much difference, but if you start looking at similarities between all the arts and discard all the differences between two particular arts, you will end up with a nearly complete technique list from all arts. There are very, very few things that are unique to only one style. Once you understand movement and anatomy you understand fighting, and start to see how similar the styles all are.

The thing about that section where he has her do the arm grab and come around, is as he brings his right hand around, instead of just grabbing the elbow, he could snap the arm there and sieze the joint and continue with his other hand. Or even just snapping the elbow could end the fight (most people aren't inclined to continue when their arm gets broken that quick). But still... I love the techniques demonstrated.

Love the energy drill at 5:41. Circle walking at 8:25 was cool. Thank you for sharing.

You gotta wonder... when you see those large groups of grandmas and grandpas practicing Tai Chi in the morning down in C-Town, are the envisioning cracking someone in the ribs and snapping ppls necks. Or are they just playing with the wind.

I hate it when people think that martial arts is just for fighting an opponent. But It is fighting our self. Your own Arrogance, and our lack of Dissipline. Do you really think that people who turn 80 will be doing the same thing they did at 50. Tai chi is meant to fight aging and fatigue. Were not Goku so no we won't fly but we will live better lives.

lol. you fight yourself so in the end you fight other people. everything in martial arts was originally desinged to make you better than your opponent. the only reason people are expanding martial arts into other areas is because its no longer the best way to martially prevail over others.
