Queue now the rsf comments of this not being real tc because of not being able to manipulate chakras, not mentioning fascia or the greatest sin - not making people bounce around like possessed lunatics. Plus I didn't see anyone wearing silk pjs so it's definitely not tc or internal.
Footage of me competing in UK's first professional MMA event 'Night of the Samurai'.
It's the first time any Tai Chi fighter has competed in professional fighting as far as i'm aware. The bout was for the UK heavyweight championship .
Full-contact fighting pioneer Peter Ralston...
Fighting in a competition that had previously been marred by the deaths of competitors, in 1978 Peter Ralston became the first non-Asian to win the full-contact Martial Arts World Tournament in China.

I believe this was back in the days before MMA was known as "MMA" as it is today. Back then, in the 90s/early 2000s, especially outside of the US, it was still widely referred to as "No holds barred" or "NHB", so they didn't have some of the contemporary rules that they have today, hence the shoes.

Why not approach it from a different way.
In your opinion what makes this any different from anything else ?
In movement, or application can you point to any defining characteristics or strategies
unique to what is called Taiji?

Well since you're asking - what do you think? What are the moves that do or don't make it different? Come to think of it since it's been mentioned - what do you think is unique to TC as applied in a confrontational examples?
