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.

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...

[solgoode1]

im sorry but you're wrong )

[akafreddie]

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.

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 ;)

I'm not afraid if it's real.

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?

wtf

[ironjellyreilly]

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'.

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.

[MayaSalila]

speechless...

Clearly an inexperienced Martial Artist here, nothing more to say.
