Taijiquan Applications- analysis of combat usefulness

Taijiquan- a martial art that has multiple systems encoded within its solo form which is often viewed as an inferior art in today's mixed martial arts world. Hidden within taijiquan's arsenal are special techniques that include striking vital areas, throws, controlling joint manipulations, chokes, use of punches, kicks, knees, elbows, shoulder, and hip. Taijiquan is a dynamic form of Qigong that incorporates being in the moment to study the breath (qi) combined with movement with the mind set of performing martial techniques derived from the turning of the center of gravity (tan tien) while challenging you to maintain proper alignment to drive the appropriate strength (jin) efficiently from combat posture to combat posture.

you can tell that the commentator promoting his teacher is one of clones of the little master in the blue pyjama suit. Tai chi is fantasy based and not workable at all against a real fighter. Too funny. I remember a conversation between 2 advanced tai chi students arguing that one had touched the other first and that if he had of had his internal power then theoretically the student would be paralyzed( kind of sums up the tai chi mentality)

@jmikejapan So I hear. I guess the best chance is to visit Wudangshan and study inner stiles there.

@FinalKenny2 It's hard to find them in China nowadays.

Typical response! tai chi is good for anger management and helping people deal with inner frustrations

@quin88

hey little dufus when someone makes a video posing as reprensenting the system and how it operates- the watcher is bound to make observations and conclusions about these demonstrations. most see tai chi for what it is....crapola.

[quin88]

Why do people always judge a system or technique on seeing one person demonstrate it.
