Phew... there's some amount of shit talk going on...
I couldn't count how many successful full contact fighters both my Sigung Cheng Tin-hung and my Sifu Dan Docherty produced... let alone my tai chi brothers...
and that's with 100% tai chi chuan drills and skills...
But I guess it's easier to ignore that, and buy into the fallacy that no tai chi fighters exist than admit: "they can but we cannot"???
There's a lot of folks desperately trying to believe that their tai chi boxercise of forms and limited tuishou is the complete package capable of delivering results!
I wonder if someday a western boxerciser who skips and punches the air only, will wonder why his complete art cannot produce Mike Tyson anymore? Maybe they will get together online and suggest that Mike must have had a solid base in MMA before he learnt boxing in the park and that's why his shit worked?
Too much cognative dissonance being provoked?
