This is real kung fu. I know it because I have seen it myself. Li He Sheng is a renowned medical professor as well as a grand master in Taiji. I was fortunate enough to have attended his class while he was in Hong Kong in 2009. As a Taiji evangelist, he is easy-going, friendly and approachable. He keeps no secret about this internal martial art which is explained in his book "Yang Style Old Six Sets - Secrets of Internal Power Revealed". Highly recommended for anyone interested in Taijiquan.

bullshit,try this at me and I won´t be pushed back not even 1 inch.They want to kid us with all this shit.

They own that old guy money...so they have to do this show with him...it is not disturbing, but please do not relate it to any kind of art...for example the title here is a pure insult for the Taijiquan and the Martial art.

i wonder about how many ppl able to do it..

[cloud0123]

It's not rubbish...It's just not martially informative or useful to anyone watching it..so in a sense it gives CMA bad name- because it looks like nonsense. I have no doubt the old man can do that to people touching him (disrupting center)...but it is of no use without martial application.

great video, where is this master?

[LingKungJing]

I can't speak for this man specifically, but a high level tai chi practitioner should be capable of finding and disrupting one's center the moment contact is made whether that involves absorbing and then returning strike or reacting to a bum rush. From what I've seen, a master of this caliber would either cause the bum in question to bounce off his center much like the men in this video, or he would simply lead the opponent past him like a matador evading an approaching bull.

It is this type of rubbish that gives Chinese martial arts a bad name.

what ta' hell is that??.. ..so, what would that old guy have done, if he was to just get bum rushed, instead of making hand to hand (literally) contact?.. ..obviously I'm not getting this martial art, but it seems the only way this would work is if hand contact was made with the opposing parties.. ::nodding head:: ..I don't know.
