Toronto Mixed Martial Arts Expo 2010 - The view from Tai Chi Central

Learn more about tai chi at http://www.TaiChiCentral.com

The Mixed Martial Arts Expo took place in Toronto on June 12-13, at the International Centre on Airport Road.

We were there representing the Canadian Taijiquan (Tai Chi) Federation and teaching "Tai Chi for MMA", Tuishou (Pushing hands), and Internal Martial Arts secrets for improving speed, power, and agility. In all about 50 people stepped onto the mat with us (not including the "bikini babes" from W-1.)




Contrary to the myopic opinion of one reporter from the Sun (or Mars or Fox or wherever they get their reporters), the Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) expo in Toronto was a wonderful event, with great competition in a variety of disciplines. There were also 100 booths representing associations, schools, vendors, and more. We saw some spectacular demonstrations by people of all ages. Our regret was that we were so busy teaching seminars & demonstrating tai chi for MMA that we were unable to attend more.

What's that called at 0:26?

How are you able to toss the stick so high from your dantien? Looks very impressive, how do you train for that?!

[swu880]

hahaah Makes you wonder if that crowd at 3:35 was gathering around to see the Taiji or the hot girls

I love how the big guy fails at the leg grab at 6:00, then is receiving lessons on his centre.

Sifu, glad to see that the event was a success, I feel the video captures the moment very well. Next year I hope that we can get so Sanshou going!!

Keep up the hard work!
