Agreed. Or rather why make shitty videos like this? Have no idea why they get attention. Obviously two people who have no clue what they are doing.

Well there clearly are, but then people say "that's not Tai Chi".

And, if it "looks" like Tai Chi, someone will say it's not internal. And, that's if it worked and the guy got his hand raised. I've never heard someone suggest that it was TC, but was just low level. Hey, if you can knock a guy out with low level, why use high?

Seriously the taiji community is unfixable. Arts like taiji and bagua are unique among martial arts because no matter how you do them, you're never doing them "the right way" whatever the hell that means. The result is that no amount of effort pays off."
As for low level, that's the only way you learn to fight. If you aren't taught fighting right away with basics then you'll never learn with more advanced material. Hong Yi-xiang taught people to kick ass in leitai tourneys in 3 years. Now it takes 20 years and they still can't do it.
That said, I realize that learning opportunities and experiences differ considerably nowadays, so ymmv.

Trip wrote:Greetings Formosa N,
Doc pointed out that you make sweeping blanket statements about others Taiji
You then follow up with another post that makes sweeping blanket statements
You talk about the lack of Taiji people not being able to fight with Taiji.
Okay.
Got it.
Thanks.
But, your own posts greatly lacks how to use Taiji in a fight
You say you practiced a lot of Taiji daily for many years.
Prove it.
