Yeah looks more like they were filming the next Mortal Kombat and less like Tai Chi.


But lets not high jack this thread with Tai Chi lets discuss more why the turtle defense is not good to use in a street fight against 4 people with bottles and chains.

I feel anything from MMA that would be good for Self Defense was originally made for defense and came from an SD art. But if you train for ring rules your reactions will be ingrained for ring rules. You don't have time to think in an SD situation normally thats what makes it SD.

Discuss.
