Beaten by a girl - Tai chi

A 13 year old girl with 3 months tai chi training demonstrates blocking against real random attacks. She took a shot to the head that stung a little. But went right on with the demo.

i wonder how she would fare against any type of real aggressor. like anyone that really tried.

@Electroluch

For that, we would have to see blood.

Thank heavens this is only training. She would have ripped my lungs out through my nose.

@taijiman7777 A real aggressor would hurt her. Real thai chi takes time and patient. You cant learn that in 3 months:)

[taijiman7777]

@nouw23 You are correct that tai chi requires years. But it does not need to take as long as many people think. One to three years should be enough for a reasonably healthy person to develop practical expertise. Few teachers teach this way, however. This student had specialized training focusing on root, sticking and following, reading intent, and internal power. Also, this was a limited demo, and did not display all of her skill. Not bad for 2x/week for 3 months, I think.

no way she is 13 and if she is crazy skills

[taijiman7777]

@bn137 :

Thanks.

Emma was 13 in this video. This was a demo for Canada Day (July 1). She began training in March with one private lesson and one group lesson per week. Then she took some time off to write exams, and came back to help with the demo.

@ozgurow two times per week for 3 months. but you need to practice with a partner to get any close!

[ozgurow]

can't be 3 months of practice. WOr we have to ask how many hours of practise a day???

Dang,that chic iz swoleee!! Lol

[bigkittysmile]

proof that a little skill is dangerous

[Aurelius27x]

Lol, I still don't understand why people are so dumbfounded how very young people can be extremely talented at anything. It's proven the brain at its youth is the most malleable and can retain much and apply more, quicker than any other time in life. I'm less impressed and see more of an admiration that this potential period isn't being squandered.

[TheScouseExile]

very impressive!

@Calyptico The "inner peace" thing is mainly about not thinking anything. Letting your thoughts go so you are all reflex. Your reactions get faster, movements are smoother, and balance is better, all because you are not letting your conscious thoughts get in the way of your trained reflexes.

@Electroluch

Aggressor is always at a disadvantage... she shows she can handle the lines of attack. someone more intense would be ripped apart... provided they train at higher speeds of intensity also.
