We do not practice Chen Tai Chi. We are only expressing opinion from a combat perspective.

I am a long time sport fighter, I do very rough boxing and jiujitsu, etc. as well as solo tai chi practice and push-hands drills, "wing chun/chi-sau" slap sparring, etc. I hold a blackbelt in Judo, and have trained aikijujitsu since age 15. I think that I can tell a thing or two about something in martial arts by looking at it, and from what I see Liew's applications look completely effective. Right along the same lines as what I employ against opponents in live sparring on a regular basis.

Thank you for your comments. People with more fighting experience can see things other people can't..

Maybe my comments were harsh. But I see someone trashing on masters who have made their own contributions, and it just doesn't feel right. However, this is in a way, your own contribution too. So, thanks for trying.

Only thing is, I'm not sure how much of your analysis has been done in accordance to taiji principles.

[georgehsliew]

I studied tai chi under only one tai chi sifu who studied merely tai chi. We don't agree with each other because we have diferent understanding of this art.

[lucidmist]

so much for trying to get attention. george, i think u're really missing the point. also, i really REALLY believe u possess zero fight experience.

[georgehsliew]

I am just trying tell what I believe. And you are telling what you believe. Thanks for taking time to view my vedios and making comments.

[natechien]

I agree with dagou64. Try him out in person; then say something if you're still on your feet.

[lucidmist]

All the worse to criticize the art then.

[orthobio]

I would urge you to look again. The analysis is poor. What is termed wide open shows that he has already sidestepped the opponent. Also his first touch has pushed the opponent onto his back leg and pinned him there. Lastly the punch he is delivering has good frame- the elbow/shoulder/waist are aligned and coming out together, only the elbow to wrist are dropped to express the whiplike jing of taijichuan
