- IMA is not only for fighting, it can be used for health, self-cultivation, inner peace, culture study, ...
- If fighting is all you care about, IMA is not for you.
- If you care about fighting, go to buy yourself a gun.
- My IMA teacher can beat Mike Tyson to death if he wants to.
- There are many good Taiji fighters out there. You just haven't had the luck to meet one yet.
- There are 3 persons in US that you should meet. After you have met any one of them, you will change your opinion big time.
- Boxing uses brute force. It's very bad. Taiji uses 4 oz to deal with 1000 lb. It's very good.

Wow, I'm impressed John. What happened to gouging eyes and eating brains?
I don't think that anyone can guarantee a victory over Tyson, win some, lose some, no exceptions.
The 4 oz thing is overrated.
You would be hard pressed to find me an example of 1000 inanimate pounds being set off coarse by 4 oz.
