Tai Chi BEAT DOWN Chen Style Taijiquan Fight Commentary

In this video I m giving some fight commentary and analysis on an informal tai chi push hands session, that turns in to what I can might be best described as a beat down As I understand it the chap handing it out is Chen Village Taijiquan Combat Captain Wang Yan 王岩. I have read comment on this suggesting that what is being demonstrated is not real tai chi chuan as it is using only external mechanics. That s not a debate I feel inclined to get into, BUT I do think there are a lot of good tai chi principles evident in Wang Yan s work that are missing from the work of his challenger. This is, I believe, a significant factor in the very one sided outcome. For more videos on Tai CHi as a combat art, please do Subscribe to Flowboxer. James Tripp Original Video:
