RE: "Out of the schools that can be counted as martial, the number is imaterial.". It absolutely is not immaterial in that it would be intellectually dishonest to ignore the fact that out of over 300 million daily practitioners of an art worldwide, the number that practices that art for its actual intended purpose is far less than a hundredth of one percent. That number is so small as to be ignored in any serious discussion.
Further, since my original point was what occurs in the typical Taijiquan class, what is of no concern to my point is what the tiny handful of martial practitioners are doing.
[/quote]No, I don't. In fact, once again, I'm not talking about the tiny handful of martially oriented Taijiquan schools at all. Further, I'm ignoring ideas of lineage altogether as completely non sequitur to the discussion.

What skills does you taiji practice emphasize for defending against punches and kicks? Do you practice punching and kicking in your style? How does your taijiquan practice transfer your skills at defending punches and kicks to a real scenario?
Is anyone going to answer the damn question?
Chris McKinley wrote:blacksheep,
That's an impossible question to answer. For instance, who says it takes X amount of years to begin with? If so, why assume the same number of years for everyone? What if the Taiji practitioner is himself a good striker? How are you defining "control" of someone?
IOW, your questions raise more questions than any simple answers could provide.
