I have NEVER once advertised any of my videos! We have NEVER sponsored or put money toward any of our TH-cam videos. All our views, subscribers, and followers have found us organically on their own and our analytics say we have a 20 "Like" to 1 "Dislike" ratio! That's pretty good in my opinion!

Definitely. The haters can go away. But I do see what some people are saying, Including me. I know Xing Yi Quan, karate, and Taekwondo. As far as Tai Chi goes, I have no idea what its like other than it looking very smooth. But for your Xing Yi Quan video, I'm not hating on it at all, its just wrong in many ways and I want to point that out. I just don't want people to learn the wrong things. I don't want you stop having fun or anything like that, i just want things corrected :)
Kung Fu & Tai Chi Center w/ Jake Mace w8, u know u just said that KUNG-FU is DYING? REALLY?
Kung Fu & Tai Chi Center w/ Jake Mace You are also keeping a very ancient art alive which in its self is a valid reason for doing this. Great job.
Kung Fu & Tai Chi Center w/ Jake Mace Jake,who cares about the TH-cam keyboard martial experts,who never set foot in a Dojo. Don't lower yourself to their standards by justifying yourself. You are demonstrating amazing skills and techniques.Those amongst us who actually have training in martial arts,appreciate your videos. Ignore the mediocrity of the anonymous "TH-cam haters".

@@VState60 He might not even be talking about this. It could be generally speaking... but I could be wrong too.
I started studying Yang style Tai Chi a couple months ago, and I lucked out with my teacher... we go through the meditative form, then afterward, he'll walk me through the fighting application of each step of the form. I really enjoy both. I'm looking forward to progressing enough to start with the sword form!
On a side note, one of my best friends has been studying karate for decades, and I said I bet I could push him down... he said no way. My teacher taught me the method to push down to break their plane (shoulder and hip), then push out to get them off their feet... worked like a charm!
Yes.....
Quite honestly, having a Yang teacher who even knows the combat applications is pretty amazing, consider yourself lucky! I recommend looking into Chen style if you like the fighting applications, but that's just my opinion and experience.

Thanks Jake! I took a class in Chen style 24-forms but never learned any self defense applications. It also helps to give the moves names, and we didn't have that either. Ive been watching your vegan athlete channel for a few months and had no idea you were so skilled in practical self defense
The movement of Tai Chi, shifting weight with the hips to move, becomes part of your everyday life and helps your energy. This teaches a more direct application. As a student of 24 Yang style, I enjoy seeing the martial applications. Thank you.
What nobody states is the more relaxed you are the better the fight will be. You’ll be less stressed, more focused, and more perceptive.
Well you don't want to be too relaxed or you'll be too sluggish to fight
It’s called sparring
"Without an understanding of the methods of form and function, very few will obtain any benefit to mind or body" Yang Chengfu
I practiced this entire 48 movements when I was in high school but never thought it could actually be implemented in fighting since I never got a chance to be attacked. Nice video.
works 100 percent of the time on totally compliant opponents :)
Or at least he should remove the video from TH-cam. He's just embarrassing himself.
What does that mean? :/
This shit is dumb. First off if you're gonna strike to the body why would you not strike to the liver?? Best chance of incapacitating your attack with an attack to the body is liver or sternum. Neither of which you targeted...
Well I would prefer to use tai chi rather than my tennis skills
60% of the time it works everytime.
I find it amazing how much variation there is in Tai Chi, even within Yang style alone. I also teach Yang style Tai Chi, and my grasp sparrows tail looks different in a few ways...
So how does it feel to study and teach something that is completely useless?
Hi Jake - I LOVE this video. I have been feeling sluggish and tired, and trying to do my own exercise but still not feeling too good. Today for the first time I watched a Tai Chi For Fighting on youtube, followed all your moves and found it made me feel good very quickly. I am going to learn more of Tai Chi for Fighting and definitely will practice more of it. Thank you so much for posting this video.
This is one of the rarest, simplest, cheapest and best martial arts lessons online. Thank you for your YT vids. I've been trained in Hung Gar style before and been involved many street fights against bullies, defended weak people. You'r a great instructor. Don't bother to listen to those YT foul mouth parasites.
I would like to post this comment saying that: even if you have to practice Tai Chi, as a form of psycho-physical well-being rather than personal self-defense, this video or person clearly explains the reason for these posture movements, to make Tai Chi understandable to order to practice it with the sole purpose of meditation and relaxation; congratulations to the one who practices it in the video.

The same problem as most martial arts, the opponent must leave his arms extended after a blow so that you can apply the keys or techniques that you want.
There are multiple levels of learning a skill and/or sport like Tai Chi or let's say golf!
The applications in this video are practical, they work, and they're cut directly from the Yang Family Tai Chi Style! Very easy for beginners! Later we practice push hands, use more softness, practice fa jing, and use our opponents energy against them! :)
Yes, I go to China every year and I speak Chinese! I've been to and practiced Tai Chi at WuDang Mountain in person! Karate DOES come from Chinese Martial Arts styles including Tai Chi! :)
watching this video, I weep for Taiji.
I keep seeing you in my recommendations for videos. You are actually highly skilled, these comments surprise me. Your comment about most people you meet in the street is extremely true. I personally learned American Kickboxing and Brazilian Jiu-jitsu under Professor Tony Torres-Aponte. Your movement is very graceful. I'm sorry that you experience idiots on here that have no understanding. Keep trying. :)
It's almost always wannabe martial artist who make these comments about how ineffective something is in a real-life situation. My guess is, it's those type of people who probably watched videos or read books and assumed you didn't need years of practice in that specific style and assumed it would be effective. After losing multiple fights, they assume all martial arts are garbage and no one style is effective in the slightest. I see it happen so many times. I've spent years practicing my styles, so I know it takes a lot of work to make my movements effective and fluid while in any fight situation.
3:55 Spot on Jake! I understood Tai Chi to be martial training of a sort for Kung-Fu and in our class I believe we started the Tai Chi form with exactly that first maneuver but I never saw the precise application of it till just now.
I only turn this guy on for the comment section
This reminds me of the karate kid were the teacher says “everything is kung fu”
What Tai Chi Chuan really is is a self defense practice which teaches you how to be relaxed at will and thus stronger, smarter, and faster! The techniques work for self defense and the training gives health and longevity!!! :)
Look easy when you do demonstration but never see any MMA fighter able to apply.
Guys, it's a free video. So chill. Instead of all the hate, if you can do it better, make a video. Show us how it really works. This guy is at least putting himself out there. How many people with negative comments have ever done that?
Thank you all for watching! Practice Everyday with a partner and on your own! More Tai Chi combat to come!

The demonstration beginning from 0:40, your feet at the back is this a relaxing position (injury)? Often see people in Kata or training holding their feet in this angle; this looks very unstable and not balance grounding...
From 3:40 going on, you could going deeper to the ground.

LMAO this is the only guy I've ever seen that has completely gutted Tai Chi's internal martial style and replaced it with physical force lol
Don't try these moves in a real fight! you will most likely get knocked out.This is more about relaxing, focus and building muscle memory.

Title made it seem like this was a fight or sparring match. Skipped through the whole thing, didn’t know all Tai Chi consisted of was conversation
Tai Chi is a physical exercise, not a martial art. Maybe that could be it.
Davoda 1 technically, it is a martial art. There are many internal martial arts that are popular or originate in China. They’re called neijia, and they’re usually for self defense and/or meditation and health benefits. They’re all based around qi (or chi), which in simple terms, is the flow of energy. However, Tai Chi and other qi-related martial art matches are sometimes full contact with strikes and takedowns. This video was advertised as such
@@DanaWhiteOfficial Tai Chi is not something that teaches you how to fight, therefore it cannot be called a matrial art, that literally means war art.
You could say the origin comes from there, but as in a great many things, where it comes from has little to do with what is now.
Example:
Modern so called "ninjutsu", is mainly made up, even tho the term is real, it had nothing to do what people think today.
Davoda 1 not sure where you get your information, I’ve never seen that definition of martial arts presented as fact. a majority of martial arts are based around self defense and spiritual betterment. the ones you see in mainstream media are competitive martial arts, in which they are fighting. you’re pretty much saying that a martial art can only be a combat sport in which competition takes place. that doesn’t seem like a very sound argument
@@DanaWhiteOfficial martial arts, a.k.a. arts of Mars (Roman god of war) were created to make a system for people to fight. So anything that is a system to teach people how to fight is a martial art. Kung-Fu (and the million+1 versoins of it), Karate (and the million+1 versoins of it), and not just something that is from Asia. Kravmaga (well yes technically it is asian as well) was created for the Izraeli Armed Forces, how to use a firearm, or all the European ones. They were all created, so that you can fight.
And spirituality and sports have nothing to do with it. And yes, a martial art can be a sport, but that is not why it was created. You can use a weapon as paper weight, but that doesn't mean that it was made to do that.
You can call a car a ship, but it won't make it float. (not will it be a number)
Verry good. Even if you have no interest in self defence traying it explains why the "Form " creates the detailed shapes it does.
Jake, great job explaining some principles of Tai Chi in fighting, I find this video inspiring :) go on :)
Now please show us some sparring with a skilled boxer who knows what he is doing and who is not playing along. And then demonstrate how your blocks actually work in a REAL fighting situation that is not programmed. Thanks.
I am old. I dont like to Fight. But i like to Dance. I like these steps. The calmest most peaceful way with strength is unbeatable. Practice is Key.
I will do this.
Dude, see how well grasping the sparrow's tail works when someone's swinging a flurry of wild, untrained haymakers.
Practice one way and execute in another? Gotcha! Sounds simple enough!
The "graceful" way you practice isn't for show, it's so you remain loose and relaxed. You flow around your opponent's attacks, you NEVER directly oppose them with stiff blocks. I can't even call this "Tai Chi 101," cause it's even more basic and simple than even that!
Beautiful how You teach breathing and inside outside 👍
tai chi is for all ...young ..very old👍
I'm trying to put my finger on what's wrong with this video. The form looks reasonably accurate but something is missing. There's no root or internal movement. It's like someone who practices hard style kung fu learnt tai chi in a short space of time or from videos. Please see Fu Qing Quan or Chen Xiao Wang for comparison.
+Josh Pickles I've seen a couple of Jake Mace's other videos, and I have to agree. While different people practice differently, I've personally seen other Tai Chi users apply the form with force and it looks nothing like Mace's style. For comparison, Mace looks like he's doing some earth bending when he should be doing water bending.
By all means, I am very much wanting to see examples of a more perfect form
1:23 Pushing using 2 hands
I don't understand why there are so many bad comments here. At the end of the day, martial arts is like learning a style of dancing properly. Yes it's choreographed. Just like learning to dance, salsa for example. When you learn, you learn choreographed dancing with everyone in class. It takes a very long time to keep going over the same steps / moves over and over..Then you learn more steps / moves in different combinations. Then after a long period of time, when you are out in a social environment, you begin to put different steps together depending on the music, rhythm etc. Same as martial arts, you have to learn choreographed moves all the time and then after a long period of time, if you're put in a threatening situation. You won't use everything you've learned. But depending on the attack etc, you will know what to do and where to strike in order to put them down.
"...What Tai Chi teaches us, the most important part is how to relax (the body) even in a stressful situation.." Wonderful, this is what one needs in many situation of life...
You need to research better material
Just to demonstrate what I've said below, have a look at this video, I've just spotted.For some reason I couldn't copy / paste it. However look up, Taichi in a real fight, the best one by jianfei lu. I don't know that teacher, so I have no vested interests. However he has that internal stillness and calm demeanour. In 5.25 and again 6.04 he shows 'ward off' or a variation of it, the point being the waist and shoulders are in line. So it is in Mandarin, however you don't need to know the language to see how effective Tai Chi can be without the razzmatazz. Also shortly after 6.04 you see what real Fajing or internal Tai chi power is. It doesn't rely on external body mechanics, but on years of cultivating 'ch'i' 'qi' or the life force, that ignorant scientists still say doesn't exist but is ably demonstrated here. I've experienced it myself, so this is not 'acting' on the part of students!May All Beings be Peaceful
I was just watching the mandarin and you are correct, he has such amazing body/muscle control, he floated effortlessly. And tho I do not speak mandarin, I watched all 27 minutes of it, riveted. Amazing
Great technique. Great sequence of moves that most opponents would never expect coming at them.
Your right! The average crazy can't fight. Your average swing fighting has its limits.
A person who knows how to first of all block punches, and has an arsenal of offensive moves can really give someone who wants to hurt them the shock of their lives.
I know. I've done it more than once.
warning guys: your enemy will be moving irl. +, if you block a violent punch with your weak and unprepared arm, it will surelly broke.
What is moving irl. +, (?)
@@johnshort5003 ir l= "in real life"; + = "also"
@@texxmexx8176 Oh right, thanks.
Your arm will not broke but if you havent conditioning training of your forearms its not effective because you cant block few punches cause you will have severe pain
i prefer to block with the face
Are there any Tai Chi fighters that compete in MMA against other martial arts to prove the effectiveness of that discipline? Or is the combat aspect of Tai Chi more or less meant for fighting less skilled opponents?
Thanks

The Supreme Ultimate. The combination of calm and attack. Nuff said
I have always wondered, why people without experience make videos like this. I used to be kung-fu champion in my country and have some achievements outside my country too, but I don’t feel like a master who is good enough to make videos to guide people. You have to have a big ego to think, that with this skills you can teach people.This so called tai chi, is not tai chi at all. His movements are so like a robot. His weight balance is so high, even young tai chi students are way better.
Do you know that part of kung fu is to fully have control over your body. This means that the young students first have to achieve some level of flexibility, stamina and basic techniques . This takes 1-2 years and after that you are ready to learn. You can’t just jump with your robot body to learn kung fu, you have to prepare yourself first. That’s the way to become a master, not just another white guy expert in everything. I can only imagine how the Chinese are laughing when watching this video. Nothing personal, but you are misleading the young enthusiast, this what you do is not kung-fu.
Your Leg ist so far forward, everybody will just kick it!
Obviously, it's a stance to attract the enemy towards it. The guy more than probably know a way to punish you if you do that.
It's a real martial art, and this guy doesn't seems to perform like a clown. He is 100% serious, and these movements also looks deadly, even though i've never used them so i can't really say.
@@winterbeast6326 what looks deadly to you lol wtf
@@hater3669 Shouldn't have said deadly, more like efficient.
BillHimmel lol my first thought was “i can probably hit a nice single leg td on this dude
Winter Beast it isn’t bro. I have a feeling you’re young going off of your profile pic. If you’re interested in martial arts try bjj or boxing/muay thai. Thats you’re best bet
My husband is a black belt and will often joke that he likes to do his Tai Chi fast and his Kung Fu slow. So many awesome take downs in the Tai Chi form.
Does your husband practice Tai Chi? I don't remember Tai Chi utilizing a belt or caste system. It is a form of Kung Fu and doesn't have levels to it.
Great video! One more suggestion about the forms: Do not put too much concentration on the hands and arms. The most important parts are feet and legs. There was no significant Yin and Yang if you put your weight in the middle of your feet.
Complete agreement here.
A good day to you, Sir. All your moves and tactics are excellent and worth learning and practicing with a view not only to attain peace of mind but also to escape and avoid any threat or fatality to our as well as other's lives in general. Many thanks for sharing your invaluable skills with the public for their selfless good. 👍🇮🇳👊
Fighting applications, excellent! Might I recommend looking into spiraling throughout your whole body, from the ground to the point of intent (forearm for blocking, fist for punching, etc) to generate more power from the same movements? Just offering my two cents.
After watching a lot of fake masters exposed, it's kinda hard to believe in the credibility of this kind of fighting style. This video makes Tai Chi look practical though.
I wouldn’t mistake compliant drills for practicality.
Then you have to develop your eye better. It's not practical, and anyone who has practiced a real combat sport with resisting opponents can see that this man has not. My recommendation is to stick with tested and proven styles that offer tons of sparring: Muay Thai, Boxing, BJJ and MMA.
Sen Sam But that requires hard work, and real world results. Which makes it difficult to fleece the gullible and lazy.
I practice water style taichi and it's very practical and effective. I also box with the 52 blocks boxing system. So possibly my sparring time with boxing might be giving me a bit more of an advantage in using my taichi
tysonvslewis12 Yikes. I highly recommend you spend some time doing actual sparring in an actual boxing/Muay Thai gym.
tai chi is based on a philosophy that you do not have to train using quick twitch type movements, the slower fluid controlled movements are actually very difficult, for you people who need a analogy cause your to slow to get that, do ten push ups and then do ten push ups as slowly as possible... the latter is way more difficult, before you knock something that you have no idea about do yourself a favor and get educated, instead of making fun of a fighting system centuries old and respected greatly among martial art's practitioners, it's crazy how many people do not understand martial arts at all, and with the introduction of mma people believe that traditional styles can not be effective even though mma fighters practice these martial arts individually, if you watch a mma fight you will hear all the time he is a black belt in this or that, because of the rules and the octagon it obviously favors certain styles, there are levels, mma guys like to fight, most martial arts are meant for internal peace, constant practice and physical achievement help build a strong mind and the goal would be to hopefully not be put in a situation to have to use your skill which could be potentially fatal.
Doc Rizz you’re stupid
This is my first time that i see tai chi moves in self defence. I see many old people in my country practicing tai chi in groups or solo and some people say it's bullshit. But from my knowledge in other martial arts and from what i see in tai chi moves, they are actually can be used in self defence but i just dont know how to apply it in self defence whenever i see it. Thank u for showing the rationale of these moves. :)

Glad to see tai chi is part of world heritage. Humanity share a same destiny.
if you would block my haymaker/hook like that you wil get an instant left hook to your body. good luck with breathing after that.
Would you consider yourself a skilled fighter? Because he said at the beginning that skilled fighters generally don't fight to attack; it's the unskilled, crazy ones that do.
prmx93 i dont really know what you mean. i only fight in my gym or to defend myself. i never attack first. but when i fight i am the more active one most of the time. thats just my style of fighting
By the first hook, he would fall backwards. There is no real balance in his block. Only thing keeping him up is his spine, Bet your arm and hook, pluss momentum is much stronger than his spine and back.

Well, the inner/outer business I'm not so sure about... but I *do* know the form, and this guy's right. Tai Chi's beauty and strength is in full-body motions, in how it uses circular motion to bring the waist, legs, and arms together to concentrate force. Watch again and look at the OP as he does things--he's not moving his body all together. Maybe he moves the waist but not the legs, or maybe he holds his elbow too high on a hook, ensuring that he can't bring his body to bear, whatever the case, he has bad form. As in... learned by watching movies bad.
He still knows the basics of "where my arms and legs go," but he doesn't quite get how to hold them, and how they're supposed to function together. His balance is a little off too. Heck, he could at least teach his students better posture. Some of the bends and stretches of the form can be pretty hard on your back if it's curved like that.
Yes, look how he stands at 2:19 as he is talking, with his legs so wide and his knees locked. It's appalling. He is totally unstable and vulnerable, and ungrounded.
But he's just standing there talking, he doesn't have the instinct to notice.
No martial arts teaching worth his salt would do that. Your body should always be in a strong and coherent position.
Or 5.45, look at his legs, splayed open, the right foot isn't even flat.
Even 5.52 when he is simply standing; look at his legs. He has no "stance". No grounding.
7.05 during this turning movement his back is too arched and he has no contact with the ground.
I think this man works hard and has done some serious studying ... but it is my feeling that he is too much in the head. Too aggressive and too much trying to impress people and make a business of it.
And the basics are not good. He does not feel his body properly. And his body does not feel the ground.

Well, and his profile advertises more than just Tai Chi too... I don't know anything about Kung Fu (other than the most basic bits of Qigong which anybody picks up while learning Tai Chi), but maybe the odd stances and off-balance looking things are from that instead?
Whatever it is, my teacher would've had a lot of these problems corrected right away. Most of them aren't too tricky or complex, just things that open up weaknesses in the martial applications, or that make it so ten years down the road you wake up and your back has a nice, semi-permanent ache.
...Plus, Tai Chi philosophy for fighting isn't quite so nice and pretty as OP's vid shows... It's more like "break the arm, kick opponent in the crotch, shove him over and step on his neck." That punch-counter-punch business is almost patently out of the question. If somebody's punching me I'm much more liable to try and break part of them, or to at the very least shove them off balance and do nasty things to them.
It's not supposed to be about "explosive power." The power in Tai Chi doesn't just explode... the whole point of heavier strikes like the one he's advertising is that you're using *all* of your body's motion at once and focusing it on the point of your strike. Not generating it in an instant. Not exploding.
Does he even know the definition of awesome because apparently he doesn't know what awesome mean because he's using the word wrong there's nothing awesome about this what you say.
How is that going to defend my double jab and overhand right that has my hip fully turning that shot over..Im skipping into that shot just to close distance. Your thoughts?..
What the hell was that? That was about as much tai chi as a chinese buffet is real chinese food.
you really have to practice man, less videos more taiji quan, greetings
Beginners 10 moves of Tai chi is superb. Easy to learn. Good Teacher.

It's a shame how you ignore basic tai chi principles yet have set yourself up as an instructor.
Could you show this on a sandbag once? Like only the punshes if that would be ok with you. Thx in advance

Hey I’ve seen most of these moves before in Netflix’s Iron Fist

Sifu Jake,
With all due respect, we come from the same lineage and both have left it. I can tell you with 100% confidence that this is not what is meant by taiji (grand ultimate) boxing. Your first premises are good. You look fantastic physically. But the moves and applications are missing the Grand Ultimate part. There is nothing here to offer that isn't in basic karate and it's less advanced than hug gar.
You seem like a swell guy... but seriously, this is not right. I'm sorry to say to you my friend, as I am not usually into saying this... but I want to awaken your eyes. This is not the taijiquan. It is moves and applications, for sure. You're right: most people teaching do not teach even these things... that does not make it OK to show this sophomoric taiji.
I am certain you mean well, my friend. Seek the Jade Pivot. It's all in the classics.
TheShadowlin I completely agree. This does not follow the taijiquan classics. The body must be rooted, not double weighted, the feet, waist, and hands all work together in unison, the waist is the banner for the arms, and there should be no stiffness in movement and no breaks in form. There are moves derived from taiji like pull the sparrow but they are done with far too much force and not tendon power built from proper internal exercises.
I believe if jake is truly passionate about the martial arts and teaching taijiquan he needs to realize that all of these people questioning his form should be a wake up call. He needs a Teacher with a good lineage.
It makes me sick to see Fake Jake Mace teaching fake kung fu and lying and mis representing himself. Hes got so many people duped and he may be a nice guy and I'm sure that he is but there are so many people that are experts in the field of Kung Fu that are claiming his teachings are false. I'm a martial arts instructor but I don't make false claims about what I teach and I don't go around telling people I'm a Kungfu expert because I'm not. I would never try to misrepresent myself to my students or other people. If I was studying another martial art and I was new at it Regarless of my martial arts background i wouldn't go around telling people that I'm an expert at something new that I'm just learning. If you lie to people and are not honest about what you do then eventually the truth will come out and the lying will be exposed.
There's always an expert coming on a video to say he's doing it all wrong isn't he. please just stop
why?
I mean, it doesn't take an expert to see it, an amateur could see it too.
That's like the greatest bullshit I have ever watched
I love the demonstration.. power from within with flexibility and focused in a relaxed way...
