At that time the diameter was 3.6 meters. Next time they decided to make it 6 meters.

How does it happen that so many people are so stupid? This is not judo, and judoka would not gain any points, because would try to grab (including grabbing clothes), while you don't grab clothes here, and grabbing hand is allowed only for a split of second - the main idea is use contact only/mostly and not grabbing and grappling.

[dacheng]

And this is, because yiquan is not grappling, and tui shou is not a goal in itself, but only a part of training/system, part which allows working in easier conditions on some elements which are part of free figthing, when you hit with fists, elbows, knees, legs, shoulders, head and hips at the same unbalancing opponent when split of second contact appears in result of hitting actions.

[dacheng]

But to be able to develop this kind of free fighting skill you need to work in easier conditions, when you can concentrate on the aspect of feeling opponent's center and unbalancing him by contact only. People, you should learn more, try to understand the whole training system and meaning of specific part in context of the whole, and not just post stupid posts.

these are lower skill leveled Yiquan ... too much wrestling watch the others like the Yao brothers or master Han

[dacheng]

You better think about difference between demonstration and more competitive enviroment, difference between situation when one of opponents is much better than the other and when their skill is closer to each other. Also difference between situation more free during training, and this competition, where diameter of the cirlce was only 3 meters. First study martial art seriously, get some real understanding, before you start talking in public.

@macnwhizz Just like the poster said, It looks beautiful only if one person is good, one low level. Otherwise it will look awful.

I was wondering about the diameter of the fighting area. I dig.

[atuapoaka]

@dacheng i'm not sure about that

[ajaben]

0:24 = awesome :)

@macnwhizz damn right

@CareMachine42 MMA is the ultimate martial art. Just because it is in it's infancy doesn't mean that it's potential isn't great. There are many MMA practioners that practice Tai-Chi and Qui Gong. If you could just imagine a martial artist that is well balanced in all the major disciplines than you would understand the true goal of MMA.

Finally - some real push hands on display.Too many BS clips on Youtube of people being bounced about with no force used or borrowed. White is so outclassed here by Yellow. A match of more equal skill would have been good to see.
