Tai Chi: Changjin (Long Energy) demonstration vs 3 opponents

Sam Masich demonstrating 'Changjin' long energy at a seminar by managing three big guys attacking. Very cool display of coiling, drilling, and application of Tai Chi principles. More at Check out more of his work at http://www.sammasich.com

Like the krav maga demos that teach how to defend against stiff armed frankestein monster chokes this seems geared solely to defending against a guy who gives creepy man hugs as a form of attack. "Watch out! I'm gon' hug you!"

[stthomasaquarius]

It's a bit better than the static push hands. But the attackers are attacking like they want a big brotherly hug. Like the krav maga demonstrations that show me how to defend against a stiff armed frankensteins monster trying to choke me, this exercise seems limited to defending against a really pissed off tai chi teacher or a guy who gives creepy man hugs as a form of attack.

Arctic, if it's a ground fight, your better off using jujitsu. Taichi is ancient chinese secret dating back to the late 300's BCE
