Taijiquan vs Punching and Kicking

[blacksheep]

it seems the kung fu school down the street don't seem to be very impressed with taiji

That's probably because 95% of taiji out there is watered-down BS taught by people who don't understand the art themselves.

interesting could you provide me with a link to youtube of someone who you think is not watered down?
there was a link a couple pages back, is this it?
i tried to write this guy but it seens he's not on this site no more

45 why is it to late for me?

[Josealb]

Nah, man. Just asking.

Ask around and see if there are any good taiji guys near you. You could see some in youtube, but its really something that has to be felt.

ahh.. I wanted to see those, but when i clicked them b4 they said "these are private".

Well.. I'm really not sure what the form was to be honest. looks like he does a mix of stuff and looks like he's having fun at least.. Not my cup of tea really.

A lot of "moves" in ma's are very similar - indeed.

yes i think that was an original buddhist system being taught by quan pecheng.

it wasn't perfect but it was pretty good,buddhist for sure. i can see it you know,who has it and who don't.

at least from that point of view.
