Tai Chi,good self-defense art or not?

[knifethrower]

Maybe I should go learn Tai Chi so I can knowledgeably argue about that too.

Do it through video....well, it works for me anyway

Yeah, but you have secret training procedures

[knifethrower]

Oh, what a surprise. Captain insecurity switches to screen name #1 to help me win another $5 by typing exactly what I predicted he would.

Trust me, dude…King and Boar are two different people.
This is a great quote by treelizard about jubaji keeping it real.

I think what jubaji's trying to say is that he HAS seen good taiji, but he thinks your claims are exaggerated. He's balancing the extremes of "taiji sucks and doesn't work in real life" and "taiji is too deadly for the ring."

Half the time he’s defending Tai Chi…

but the internal is realy only training your mental thought during any given move .its focusing/feeling the energy.flowing with it…..dont think it realy matters how you wave your hands around as long as your thinking the right way

Have I mentioned recently what an idiot you are?

Tai Chi can't be used for self-defense and anyone who can't defend against a tai chi block has got to be real bad at martial arts.

LOL
I assume you are joking, and so make the following face: big grin

I'm not joking,I'm very serious.

I see. Then you are a fuckin' dope.

Combat Tai Chi is a fucking oxymoron.

Have you considered the possibility that you don't know what the **** you are talking about?

Tai Chi...even as a "martial art", like wushu...doesn't really seem to be an effective fighting style. I can say the same for a number of chinese martial arts, ba gua, long fist...etc etc...

How the **** do you know? Have you fought or sparred with folks who practice those? You're an idiot

Not ONCE has jubaji ever said anything negative about Tai Chi. He’s just keeping it real; you guys (King and Boar) have to see that right? I think you do But I’m still trying to figured out what set jubaji off on this new rampage. What the fuk did boar say that set him off? Hang on I got more stuff to post….

[knifethrower]

No need to sink to dragonball foolishness…video game fantasy…comic-book fantasy land…comic book-boy exaggerrations...

OK…I think I can go with this

I’ve have P.M.-ed Ironpalm but he didn’t answer…but he’s right on the money

wether people want to admit it or not, there are many many techniques in martial arts that just cant be used in mma.

What a load of fantasy-boy bullshit.…………
Look junior, the whole "too deadly" ruse has been debunked time and time again. Give it up already.

The way you need to move to generate the stopping power cant be controlled to make it safe for competition

to sum it up taiji is a method of SD based upon striking vulnerable points with extreme power and speed, without those two components NONE of the throws and locks hidden in taiji can be safely applied...

most people havent seen or felt a fajin attack, seeing it once is all it takes to make a believer of you. yes its RARE so is REAL skill in ANY martial art...also fajin isnt just a punch, fajin is the entire body, knifethrower used a fajin shake to escape a full power bear hug i applied on him, it drilled his shoulder blade into my chest and sent me stumbling about 6 feet away gasping for air.

Which one of these put those wrestling tights in a wad….I mean the one that really freaks you out, jubaji? We can go with the too deadly thing but I don’t think that Boar ever said that. Pick one dude…I gotta know.

Or 100% of the time putting people down????

When 1500 of your 3000 post are .......

That just proves you can use a keyboard.

[knifethrower]

He keeps a lot of stupidity in check

Read the quotes dude

Or 100% of the time putting people down????

[treelizard]

Not true!! Look at the brilliant prose on the war with Iran thread. AND he gave Garland really good girl advice.

Plus, he's funny.

What about this thread. he has the first or second largest amout of posts in this thread, yet they all amout to the crap he spouts continously.?????


If you're an asshole to a thousand people and nice to one, at the end of the day it still makes you an asshole

[knifethrower]

the hand speed from taiji makes my blades damn near impossible to see....

I found this one too...maybe that one knotted the old tights …but I can’t see why it would

[knifethrower]

so is George Carlin...i dont see him running around the net acting like a jackass...the war with iran and women...yeah im sure the virgin who has never been in the military is a great place for advice on those subjects as well...it has squat to do with taiji...jubaji isnt a help to the CMA forums he kills them...people with far more experience in combat and taiji than jubaji dont post here because they dont feel like putting up with his inexperienced opinions on combative application of an art he spent a couple years studying in a park. Fact people.

Well, I think they could take him on.

But what do I know, I only spent a few months studying taiji in a studio.
