Mine was simple. Fear.

awesome SIFU. This guy is awesome I had an opportunity to meet him in Nevada.

Does the changes in how wide you make your movements relate to the differences between large frame and small frame forms?

LETS GO!!!

brilliant.

Apologise in advance for my off topic but I would like to say that your practical Tai chi reminds me of master/sifu Zhang Yunxiang, very practical an actual Tai Chi use for real fights, both street and sports.

Love the commentary 😂

Thai Chi is not a combat sport or art or style or system, sorry.

Oh yeah, Erzi’s!!!!

I had no doubt Nick & Micha would win! 🎉

🎉🎉🎉🎉

Yesss!!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Let’s gooooooo!

LETS GO!!! I’m so excited to release this tomorrow at 5p!!!

BOOM!

That's dope

Sifu do you do weights. What are your thoughts on weight training and tai chi

with this mindset, if you cross train you aren't really a tai chi martial artist anymore, all in all tai chi just doesn't cut it for real non armed combat today. not by a mile unfortunately. For health and spiritual benefits sure, but that's about it

My favorite push hands guy can shred too? Come on man 💪

🔥🔥🔥🔥 much respect i use these move from wrestling perspective great to see someone using there mind to it differentlu ☯️☯️

Everything is from Bodhidharma Tamil Kanchipuram Pallava Dynasty.

I think his skill is excellent a true example of good Taiji Push hands.

He's got a great teacher.

Looks like greco roman, wrestling pummeling.

There's "one" major joint....Center...every thing comes from there. Oneness is the unity of Ta

Your tuishou skills have always impressed me! But I find weird you let your head wiggle so much, I understand it's to maintain relaxation, but have you never bumped your head on a shoulder or forehead doing this? I ask because it happened to me a few times in tuishou and wrestling so now my head stays upright 😅

Nice skills!

穿黑衣的 柔軟度夠也很沉不錯o

❤

Like to see free flow with striking and joint locking. Nice skill set !!!

I miss you, Sifu. I love seeing videos like this.

Master bullshito

It's a testament to Tyson that when you try to apply Tai Chi to boxing, you get peekaboo style.

I love it man! I love taking deep martial arts principles and learning how to apply them to other sports and physical culture.

love ur music , are you publishing it on youtube ?

That won't work

This is embarrassing lolol my 8 year old would take this guy down lol

Great video Sifu Niko! I found you recently researching push hand techniques and your push hands I found very impressive. I come from mainly a Wing Chun background and struggle with the much larger rounder circles done within Tai Chi push hands. Do you have any first timer tips or what you would recommend to work on first in order to improve my Tai Chi push hands?

You are only using one aspect of Tai Chi and very limited concepts of other concepts of Tai Chi because you have only learned Yang Tai Chi. There are many other aspects in combat that Tai Chi can be used to counter punches. Study Chen Tai Chi and you will understand more concepts that can be applied in jabs.

love the video, the subtitles are really distracting

💯🙏🏽

if you have not done it yet-please touch him and show us if he is the real deal settle it once and for all-i believe he is in Thailand

taichi principle is ying yang， and in 3D， groin kick and attack is an integral part(or foot stomps)。 so when someone is throwing punches at your head，where the opponents attention/focus/ direction of movement is on the upper body, that’s the Yang of the moment， the obvious space that opens up is ying, that’s where your Yang goes in. If you look at your video, draw a circle of ying yang in y-axis, covering your opponent and you, you see that clearly. You are meeting his Yang with your Yang. That’s double Yang. Not Ying Yang. I learnt this the hard way when I as ask my sifu what happens if I throw flurry of fast punches? He asked me to do it on him, and I went in with 7-8 punches a second to his face, and was kicked in the groin without seeing the kick. Think of ying yang like a body of water on top of a rock. It looks still, when there are no cracks and opening in the rocks, but the water is actively pushing down on the rock every moment, and when the rock crack, show an opening, the water doesn’t wait a beat, it flows into the rock. I am also 4th dan in kendo, and I use this taichi mentality/spatial sense in it. When you look still, only because there’s no opening, when ying yang is balanced. Historical taichi masters saying some one’s taichi is good, they use the phrase “出手即見紅“ literal translation is， “when he does strike, you see blood immediately”, goes in for the kill, no wasted extra movements。 Also, the very first movement in taichi form, 起手式 can be broken down to 4 attacks in one movement, 1)attack to the groin with back of hand, 2)attack to chin when raising the hands, 3)jab to throat when sinking the elbow, 4) presss/push to chest when hands up and going down. Also, practice so that you should be able to perform groin kick with almost every position/transition in the taichi form(without loosing balance, without moving your shoulders), to make sure you ying yang is clear(polarized).

...OK but that just looks like generic sparring maybe you try to stay lose... but I've heard boxers say that. If I was to argue that Tai Chi would work in a fight I would make the case for touch sensitivity in a similar way to silat or wing chun. Where learning to feel what your opponent is going to do next by keeping contact and sticking to them is an advantage that a boxer might not have to the same degree. I don't think fighting on the gap works for Tai Chi and you are just better off using another style for that.

Why are you acting as though Tai Chi has no parries, counters or strikes? And even worse making it out as though it’s an external art, idiotically with no parries, counters or strikes? Whoever you learned Tai Chi from should be ashamed of your sorely lacking comprehension, lest they themselves are exposed also as false teachers! P.S. , I guess you’re purposely playing dumb by leaving out the chuan which make the missing sense out of your pathetic misrepresentation.😳🤦🏻‍♂️🙄/✌️🤲☝️🤔

Excellent!

He doesn't work because tai chi sucks in real combat.... and it's for weak looser 😂

Transport's tale is an attack on the carotid sinus it's designed to kill the person it's a double attack on the carotid sinus using the forearms Yang style uses the forearms punching is not the key weapon the forearms of the key weapon Pong is like a sabers blow

❤

The “point” before the push took me out. 😂 Well played sir! I enjoy these every time they hit my feed.
