Yes, painful on several different levels. Even seeing the way he walks around the fight area before it begins (i.e. his gait) shows that he's going to lose. And coming to an actual fight in silks...?
How can someone like this be so delusional about himself? From the way he moves and how he got tagged each time, I would doubt that he even spent the previous couple of weeks trying to get himself up to speed in some way, with some kind of sparring partner. That's a serious question: my own experience with tai chi trained by Chinese people in Asia was in Malaysia (Zheng Manjing-style), and those (older) guys could really fight, even if that doesn't mean they were superhuman. I guess some of you here can suggest an answer or two...
Do not make the mistake of giving up the near in order to seek the far.
