When MMA meets Tai-Chi..

Dead?

Tai chi master he is not.

Which one is which?

Asian martial arts is exactly that, art! Ballet fighting is what I call it Lol.

Gay, Tai Chi isn't a fighting style. The USA and holly weird tries to change that idea. Schools want to make money do they promote the idea. But Tai Chi is for old people.

Well I'd say that traditional Yoga would be better to take up than Tai Chi or Aikido, for physical and mental development; however the original Shaolin system, Judo, and traditional Karate (particularly from Okinawa), etc. are serious and effective martial arts.

i studied Wu Shu for 7 years. It is the original Shaolin boxing.

Wonder how Bruce Lee would fare against an MMA fighter.

Funny you say that; because I was editing Shaolin into my previous post while you were typing your post.

There's debate about "the original Shaolin", but I don't know enough about that debate to really speak much on it.

Tai chi beats yoga hands down for keeping your body in great shape.

terribly lol

I was not aware the original Chinese boxing is being called into question. Interesting.

I mean the gist of the debate is that at some point Shaolin became somewhat watered down, and that what is practiced nowadays is not quite the original Shaolin that Bodhidharma founded (if I'm not mistaken, Bodhidharma-known as a black man from India by some—founded Shaolin).

Like I said, I don't know enough about that debate to affirm anything too concretely.

tai chi isn't for fighting. it's for balance, and for control over your nervous system and mind.

-_- this guy wasn't doing ANYTHING at all for defense lol

MMA guys are lousy punchers thats why they didnt make it in the boxing ranks where the real money is made

I doubt that.

Yoga works more directly with the nadis/channels in the body, etc.; and interestingly, the oldest texts on Hatha Yoga and similar are Buddhist, not 'Hindu'.

You will never witness a win by true masters of inner power. Why? Inner power is not for showcase like mma

If Afrocentrists get a hold of this black man originating Chinese boxing claim, they will go batshit crazy lmfao!!!!

The guy in white didn't even try and divert any of the guy's punches.

Plus Tai Chi is just part of the real fight, which encompasses all kinds of techniques.

Here's a Tai Chi guy taking out a kick boxer:



I've studied Tai Chi, and in a street fight I had an assailant on the ground by reactive nature. Without even thinking I had my thumb pressed into his windpipe, and when I looked him in the eyes and said, "Leave me alone," I had to let up on his windpipe for him to answer me, and he choked out a wimpy, "Okay."

Funny how these videos make some people assume all martial arts are ineffective, even when MMA stands for mixed martial arts..

Lets see a video of MMA meets Korean karate, the military form of it with no holds barred.

Haha Wu-Tang from Shaolin (Staten Island)! But not necessarily 'Merotic' or 'Meroitic' thicker lips & kinky hair; but probably more like 'Nilotic' thinner lips and straighter hair (like some Æthiopians), or like a more Tamil Indian kind of black.

Tai chis fight IQ is retarded... Besides that tai chi is an internal martial art, not external, not made for fighting.

Did you read the comments to that vid?

Given OP's handle on here, he might find how this conversation has evolved to be interesting

Also those hard-training old school Okinawan Karate guys, who train their body with all kinds of hard implements (iron, wood, rock, etc.).

Then there's that Shaolin guy who recently took up MMA, and is faring well in fights.

Silverback gorilla fighting a grizzly bear.

Who you going to bet on as the winner?

Tell that to the guy that suffered a clot shot attack when punched by the MMA fighter....he's dead Jim.....

Grizzly. Unless the gorilla lands a lucky nose shot. Looking it up, apparently a gorilla could punch about three times harder than a top heavyweight boxer.

Poorly at first, but he was fast, strong and adaptive. In short order he would have been one of the best. As long as you weren't testing for steroids between bouts that is.
