Hello! Originally I wanted to have a "cool post count" of 108, or something like that (something associated with Tai Chi) but that does not seem possible here. Therefore I am editing this post to point out that users here cannot delete their own posts. I do not understand why users have the ability to edit their posts but not to delete their posts.

Again we see a common theme. Mr. Ma is no master, and this is yet another publicity stunt.

Also, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZT8CSh7SWMk -- which is quite honest on the whole Mr. Xu challenge thing. It was a giant publicity stunt.

Any time someone wants to step in the ring there are numerous existing and sanctioned events they could participate in. But these videos, which look more like TV commercials or shaolin temple documentary videos, have no credibility.

Introduction to Master Ma Bao Guo--
In 1982, he became a student of Master Shangji (Who?) a well-known exponent of Xingyiquan (mind-body boxing). After three years, because of his rapid progress, Master Shangji recommended Ma Baoguo to Master Wang
Changhai (Who?)in order to learn Taijiquan. (Read that again...)
Master Ma also had the good fortunate to learn Gongfu from a rather enigmatic master, Guo Shenghai. (Who?)
After many years of practice and study, Master Ma absorbed three skilled Masters Gongfu and integrated this knowledge into his Taijiquan. As a consequence Master Ma's Taijiquan is very practical."

[Another one of those. I see.]

Everyone was kung fu fighting, yet no one was very frightening......;)

Today I saw a news report out of Taiwan with Sifu Lo Man Kam debating a guy who wants to advertise his MMA, arguing if traditional martial arts can be used in actual combat. Here is my response this question:

I don't know who he is telling lies about Australians always wanting to fight
If I or any of my mates see him we will punch him in the head for those lies

All jokes aside Australians who fight are a small part of the society
It is usually linked to age and alcohol
Never have I told someone I train and they want to fight me.

I think if he teaches them boxing first then adds wing Chun techniques
It is boxing with a few additives not wing chun
Don't put power into the form let it naturally arise from the form

Aw, he might say the same thing about Londoners right after pub closing :).

Only his students should care about that, since it is their goals which are important. They don't owe anything to wing chun or boxing. Anyway, if the question isn't labeling, all that matters is effectiveness. So what if they're just learning effective boxing?

I think that he's right in that the practice methods of (some/most) cmas do not have the same emphasis on competition that some other arts do. That doesn't mean they can't.

I'd say that the main reasons MMA has developed faster in the West are:

1. It was invented in the West (a little 'duh' here).

2. MMA ties in perfectly with Western competitive and spectator sport culture and is therefore quickly understood and embraced by the general public. MMA
fights are organized and publicized like major sporting matches with pay-per-view broadcasting, and you see fighters belonging to different teams working
out in the gyms with their partners and trainers, preparing to duke it out in the ring in order to win a belt. All these elements are very familiar and relatable
to Westerners who grew up playing and watching competitive sports.

I thought his whole point was to make TCMA usable in MMA
I see nothing wrong with anyone teaching or using anything they want
Just call it what it is
If you teach boxing basics it's basically boxing

Well, if we're talking about mma, it's not about boxing or wing chun. However, I thought he was saying that tcmas were usable in mma. He suggested that the main reason they (apparently) weren't was because of traditional training methods that did not lend themselves to that context.

Mr. Xu, as John Wang stated, was very specific saying Taijiquan guys (99% for more exactly) cannot fighting! For him maybe another kind of TCMA practitioner could be tough guys on fighting skills (or even enter in a MMA cage!)... Do you guys, believe he believes on it?
