My question is please if a Tai Chi master is in a noisy environment, and is blindsided by a professional football player who tries to tackle the master into the ground, and the attacker happens to be a high level ground fighter/BJJ, would the tai chi master be sufficiently able to subdue the attacker?
The point of the question is to see whether BJJ is a necessary supplement to Tai Chi Training, with regards to an unarmed self defense scenario where something like the above were to occur
I'd give it 2/10.

I'm interested in Tai Chi as my primary Martial art but wondered about if it needed supplementing...I gave an extreme hypothetical example just to understand any limitations, if any, with the training of a Tai Chi master. I suppose all things equal, size, level of strength, cardio, etc.

What are your training goals -- or do you have any?
