Did you aplly full force on Adam Mizner? How was your experience, when Adam Mizner tried to execute his Taichi-technique? What is your conclusion? Does his Taichi work? As far as I can see, sometimes his technique seems to work, and somtimes not. Once I trained in a course with a well known european Taichi-Master. He wanted to explain a technique to me, but I used full hard force on him and he was not able to execute his technique. On another occasion with another Master I did the same, but this time his technique worked excellently. So its hard to tell just from watching a video, if a master is truly a master, although I must say, that Adam Mizner seems to have no real fighting experience.
As a horse trainer/healer and riding instructor, I don’t know how I wandered over to this vid, but YES. People ask me how I can “adjust” a horse, how am I so effective with so little effort; I always say it’s not about size or strength, it’s about synchrony, vectors and speed. I don’t “adjust” the horse. I position the horse so it can adjust itself. When I train horses or humans, I am looking at how the bones interact with gravity. At 170lbs, I can stop a 1500lb horse at the end of my rope by simply setting my hips. No one taught me this (except the horses). It evolved from my daily practice. Now come to discover there is a “martial” art funded in these principles. For those watching with a jaundiced eye, thinking, “This has to be staged”-NOPE. It’s physics, awareness, and practice. Practice. Practice.
Well, as with tai ch it begins with body mechanics; control of the horse comes from control of the self. But this actually happens, riding, only when you accept the forces of the horses’ movement. In the beginning this feels messy, uncontrolled, off-balance. If you resist it, you will be thrown, dragged, dumped. And this is part of learning. You have to fall to learn. When it finally clicks together, form is the furthest thing from your mind; intention and adjustment become one and the same. You can break it down into the physics, why it works, and this can augment learning. But what the body learns can’t be written down-it must be felt. Thanks for your vids.
It's not an opponent. but your complement. 'Yam-yong'. Being chinese, such a worldview is practically instinctive to me. It's not a concept that I have to consciously learn or have broken down and explained to me. The modern western mind finds it hard to grasp this. Just look at the sceptical remarks in this comment section. smh. Notice, I said 'modern'.. Gained the world, lost yourselves. Nature helps you reconnect, however. Such is the Tao. We've seen 5000 years of miltary warfare in China. What does raw combat skills even mean anymore ? Uyeshiba asked the same question.
@@lisar9425 many years ago i tried this on a mechanicl rodeo horse ,i understand ur concept, that is how a manon a horse can chop some one in half. Energy flow to put it graphically. This guy is amazing but can he beat ufc champ???
I am a senior instructor of Hong style kung fu, external martial arts. Master Helios Chen was our grand master before he died and he had internal power like this. He must have been deeper into the world of both sides of the coin than our subsidiary school knew about. This man Adam mizner is amazing. I'd love to devote myself to the internal arts if I ever find a teacher like him.
My teacher once told me that good external arts gradually become internal the more the practice. If you are already a senior instructor you have all the tools you need for an internal practice, you just need to change your mindset a little bit. Hopefully you find a teacher! I'd help but online I could only answer a few questions
Ur right! Thank for reminding me! It's like the way of learnings where the technics are 'easy's to achieve but hard to use it for self-mastering. The inner force maybe is similar to the way where the technics are hard to achieve but with it ,it's easy to get to full developet true self. Well, just some thoughts about ! Thank you for the Comments!
That's one of the best demonstrations of an internal art countering with strikes while still using the basic internal principles I've ever seen on youtube.
One of the few explanations I've heard that make any sense. What is remarkable is that he is so young. Like this guy. Thanks for the posting. Thumbs up amigo.
I was doing boxing, karate, wrestling and a bit of wing chun.But i have to say that i am very impresed and watching makes me happy inside of me.Kind of peace and love i fell watching this man.Like a magic it is.Different concept and attitude of life.Super.
Tao Te Ching - Lao Tzu - chapter 41 The wise student hears of the Tao and practises it diligently. The average student hears of the Tao and gives it thought now and again. The foolish student hears of the Tao and laughs aloud. If there were no laughter, the Tao would not be what it is. Hence it is said: The bright path seems dim; Going forward seems like retreat; The easy way seems hard; The highest Virtue seems empty; Great purity seems sullied; A wealth of Virtue seems inadequate; The strength of Virtue seems frail; Real Virtue seems unreal; The perfect square has no corners; Great talents ripen late; The highest notes are hard to hear; The greatest form has no shape. The Tao is hidden and without name. The Tao alone nourishes and brings everything to fulfillment.
Beauty is a subjective feeling/concept. I don't really think those words are beautiful. They are simply very meaningful and philosophical to me. Maybe the beauty is simply a side effect of their deep significance and profoundness. If you notice Mizner's bulging belly and puffy face, then I'd say his physique says "Weight training by way of gaining fat" to me. Having more fat on you doesn't really give you an advantage at moving people around. He looks more like a couch potato to me than somebody who does "Weight training" .
I have been studying Taiji almost a decade, teaching what I have learned for about half that time. I have never seen this, but, I can sense that it is contained within the form. I want to learn it. Thanks.
I am totally amazed. This is the best demonstration and interview video of TaiChi that i’ve seen. Thanks for sharing this with us ! You made an amazing job. I love your Channel !
This is awesome. I like how when he is just talking he sounds Aussie, in the demo he's inner Asian Shifu comes out "COME ME, COME" "You wan strike me, I strike!" So good.🙏 My Chinese master would demo things brilliantly but the explanations with his limited English language, were lacking. Most the time he would say "Just do!" Which yes we can, but having great analogies like the fire hose, gun & all these things that can get you from 80% to 100%
Keep drinking the Kool Aid. This is a steaming pile of 🐎 🐴 horseshit 💩. What a creepy character Adam Misner is. He's been snorting his own stash! Magic powers ...qua...faijin...pong...🏓 ping ...Does anyone notice the compliant fools he has flopping around him. Wake up...go to Mcdojo life. 😃😄😁
Thank you sir, you are currently the only one on youtube that does these kind of videos. 10 years from now, no one will know about tradition chinese martial art. The classic is dying.
I had to come back and watch this again. That dude is just incredible. And Kieren is the real deal. Anyone that can throw him around has my utmost respect.
MARTIAL MAN Very nice work visiting the masters of the most divers Martial Arts to give us an insight into how every school of art does deal with the basic questions of fighting and stay healthy at the same time. But there are limits, as you hit one showing an alleged master of the art like this guy Mizner, who is showing different techniques of "how to do it", performing with an incredibly stiff hollow back and an impressive swollen belly. Of course what he shows "works" with you, simply because you're not seriously trying to hit him or get him down. By a real fight, this "master" wouldn't be able to stand on his feet any longer, beyond the first real attempt of an attack.
Your very welcome :). Do you know by any chance if Sifu Adam Mizner is able to also register the level of his opponent if he/she is lower in level of sung? In other words i'm curious as to how he accompany's his students if a higher level of sung always has the upper hand? Just interested in the mechanics of things.
In Taiji, there is an emphasis on the development of 'Ting' (awareness). Having the ability to know your opponent includes knowing their level of Song on touch. This quality is trained extensively is some schools.
This channel is superb! Love the format, the interviews, your openness to other martial artists and just everything else that goes along with it! Subbed.
I'm genuinely fascinated by all the keyboard warriors who contribute with profound comments like "bullshido", or "this man wouldn't last a second against"-type of comments. I guess the blindest people in the world are the ones who don't want to see.
It is difficult to believe something that is outside of your own experience. That is exactly the reason why I created an opportunity for people to experience this first-hand and even learn the methods of how to do it at 'The Martial Camp.' themartialman.com/the-martial-camp-2020/
Thank you for revisiting Mr Mizner. To most external martial artists like myself, I’m sure watching him effortlessly move you around from structurally unsound positions is quite baffling. What was it like being on the receiving end of such a display? Does experiencing it first-hand change your understanding of the martial arts and what’s possible? As a Shotokan practitioner, it would be interesting to see you interview one of its high-profile practitioners... :-) Thanks for your contribution to the martial arts community!
M Cron although it was painful at times, it's always an amazing experience being on the receiving end of someone with real internal skills, especially the level Sifu Adam is currently at. Thank you for your comment 🙏
yes, if he can generate force effortlessly then the position isn't truly awkward (for him) - it just appears awkward (to you). if you just think "he's in a structurally unsound position but still powerful" then his skill just becomes something magic that you can never hope to understand or benefit from. but if you consider it from the opposite angle (he's effortlessly powerful therefore he must still be in a structurally sound position) then a point being made by Mr Mizner is more evident: internal condition of body is more important than external appearance. in rewatching the video i do notice that "structure" is used to purely refer to external structure so that's probably where the misunderstanding comes from
My problem is with all the "Allowing" movements. None of this is practical against someone punching you directly in the face and kicking your legs with their shins. If they know wrestling or Jujitsu too then you're finished. Practical martial arts are the ones that train you using opponents who are resisting you. This just seems pointless.
I love watching Adam. He is showing something different to the rest. I watch all his videos. Other favorites are Master Wong (I like Wing Chun and Tai Chi) and The Ginja Ninja trickster ( for the kicks), and Clears Internal Combat Arts (He shows how to use the Iron shirt, and other details). But Adam Mizner is the most impressive I have ever seen.
I think this video will help those in search of the internal. I teach Wing Chun in the states where internal is a myth and his videos help me train my mind.
I can see, that good boxers or wrestlers have a good deal of internal skills. The problem is that they develop them by external repetition and are not actually AWARE of having them. And while coaching are almost never able to transmit them to their students.
After watching this video with Adam Mizner and also having viewed the other ones with him on your channel I'd really like to experience Taijiquan for myself. It doesn't seem possible what he demonstrated and the concepts are really fascinating. I'm a Wing Chun student myself and would like to see if I can add some of the Taiji to my Wing Chun training especially to help in Chi Sao (sticking hands) exercises. Keep the videos coming!
Have a look at Chu Shong Ting lineage, Nima King, Mindful WingChun or Sergio Iadarola. It's really good internal WingChun. Maybe you already know them.
See part 2 of the interview to hear Sifu Adams views on mixing or adding Taijiquan with other arts. It's really quite interesting. Part 2 is uploaded and available to watch now on my website. Good luck 👍
I like this guy's explanation of a lot he really gets into it like we made the analogy of the Tesla coil or how the energy is displaced quickly like that without having to put much force into it at all as I watch your videos you focusing on a lot of things it's interesting this guy really knows what he's doing
Alex F Hi Alex thank you for the positive feedback and supporting my work by joining the website. You can either send me an email with your suggestions or contact me on my facebook page m.facebook.com/profile.php?id=143659752717243
how would you describe the difference of what it felt like to feel Adam versus when you were with master dehua and master rasmus? how are their approaches different?
This man has an excelent level. Infation and deflation of fascia, magnetic fluid (yin qi) moving nad cultivation and mobilization and all those things. 🙏👏 Amazing.
He is so calm.and so super confident I almost want to root against him but still marvel at his skill I started Tai chi last year don't know much about it
@@astral.realm_ then you should go along to one of his seminars and knock him the fuck out instead shit talking on TH-cam shouldn't you? But you won't. Because you're just a shit talker :-)
Aside from the many years required to become effective at self defense in Taiji Quan, another difficulty is that it is hard for an observer to understand what is happening, so it often looks like your opponent is pretending to be thrown or struck because it does not resemble the expected physics of everyday life.
I think the video location in my country.. However It is great video and brings us to real ancient time....You are so professional in this kungfu field.
@@THEMARTIALMAN Greaaaat, I thought that is in top mountain of Indonesia....I also learned Chinese kungfu... However, It is a great honour for us and as eastern we should also learn modernity from the west
Dude is legit. I practice wing chun and utilize the same Qi principles. I love the non believers, once they feel the force they become a practitioner lol 😅
Great video man, this one makes you rethink those videos you see, where people are literally jumping around from a little push... this looks like real power. I'm sure it was a painful interview.
Yeah ! Very good stuff . Great vid ! I realized how it works, it's very simple. Mizner's airbag is bigger than MartialMan's airbag ... so he has no chance. I wanted to say Dantien - chi - jin - sung - fa- na - etc...
Hi, thanks for posting all these superb videos. Just a couple of questions. About the sinking, which I understood being a mental process or mental state, is there a physical feeling associated with it when we get it right? Are there any good masters here in northen Italy from who I could leran and deepen my taiji practice?
For all the blind who will not believe. I have done Tai Chi for almost 12 years. The master of my teacher can do the same. He moves you just with the tip of his finger. You are not able to hit him, cause he controls you stability.
Adam is awesome and one of the few that is the real deal. You should interview Mark Bram in providence RI USA. His power and skill are amazing. Contact him at internal arts Rhode Island. You wont regret it.
well explained. thank you for your work, I will be sharing this with some of my own students. the only thing i hope would be covered later on for future students is the importance of yielding. evading and defending is fine to neutralize an untrained artist, but on the even levels, yielding to an attack to neutralize it will be more important if the opponent can have "conversation" as well as you can.
The first scenario in the video displayed more of how incompetent your partner was with take downs. Your demonstration of skeleton-structure is accurate but please show yourself neutralizing someone with a little competence so we can have some faith that your techniques demonstrated have some base in reality.
You have met and had many demonstrations from many masters, but have you any internal energy or chi and can you replicate the invisible force so many masters have shown you, Yes or no? All the best.
Authentic pushing hands technique demonstrated and explained. Thank you. This is also what I learned from Wu style in Shanghai from Master Ma Yuen Liang’s disciple.
I was in an external Kung fu style for over 25 years and went into the internal arts of Xsing Yi and Tai chi and am just starting to understand body dynamics.
The most good internal masters learned external styles before including Adam! Also the internal/external dividing is quite new. Most good "external" Kung Fu has also internals. From a good Kung Fu master you can learn more than from a bad Taji teacher.
@@Gieszkanne To be fair, I also learned and practiced internal training, like iron shirt and iron palm. But these trainings didn't give me anywhere near the internal control that I see with Mizner. In fact, I've never seen anything close to his ability from any martial artist. I never studied Tai Chi.
this is excellent! big fan of Adam Minzer. Do want to say though, his definition of other kung fu seemed to be geared toward WC which has much of the same principles of Tai Chi, through hip and shifting movements, absorbing and redirecting energy. The longer you practice it, it seems the more Chi you build and the more our body becomes loose and like a spring. Being stiff is the beginning of learning the movements and structure.
I hope you have the opportunity to interview him, he is one of the most intelligent and knowledgeable Tai Chi people you will see. And he is very didactic when it comes to teaching. Like Sifu Adam Mizner his Tai Chi is on another level.

I can see, that good boxers or wrestlers have a good deal of internal skills. The problem is that they develop them by external repetition and are not actually AWARE of having them. And while coaching are almost never able to transmit them to their students.
Great explanation of taiji chuan. And very impressive. Seeing his students doing it to you know it’s a thing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
After watching this video with Adam Mizner and also having viewed the other ones with him on your channel I'd really like to experience Taijiquan for myself. It doesn't seem possible what he demonstrated and the concepts are really fascinating. I'm a Wing Chun student myself and would like to see if I can add some of the Taiji to my Wing Chun training especially to help in Chi Sao (sticking hands) exercises. Keep the videos coming!
Have a look at Chu Shong Ting lineage, Nima King, Mindful WingChun or Sergio Iadarola. It's really good internal WingChun. Maybe you already know them.
Agreed!
See part 2 of the interview to hear Sifu Adams views on mixing or adding Taijiquan with other arts. It's really quite interesting. Part 2 is uploaded and available to watch now on my website. Good luck 👍
Check out "Sifu Sergio" on TH-cam.
I have also interviewed and featured Sifu Sergio on my channel. th-cam.com/video/P_gUIA7JElw/w-d-xo.html
Thanks Adam!!!!!
I like this guy's explanation of a lot he really gets into it like we made the analogy of the Tesla coil or how the energy is displaced quickly like that without having to put much force into it at all as I watch your videos you focusing on a lot of things it's interesting this guy really knows what he's doing
Came back to watch this again. A very good video.
It’s defiantly a video that needs to be watched several times to appreciate the depth of knowledge being shared. Welcome back 👍
I love your videos, I subscribed to your website. I can't wait for the next one :)
Is it possible to make suggestions for future interviews ?
Alex F Hi Alex thank you for the positive feedback and supporting my work by joining the website. You can either send me an email with your suggestions or contact me on my facebook page m.facebook.com/profile.php?id=143659752717243
how would you describe the difference of what it felt like to feel Adam versus when you were with master dehua and master rasmus? how are their approaches different?
This man has an excelent level. Infation and deflation of fascia, magnetic fluid (yin qi) moving nad cultivation and mobilization and all those things. 🙏👏 Amazing.
He is so calm.and so super confident I almost want to root against him but still marvel at his skill
I started Tai chi last year don't know much about it
One cannot appreciate the treasure he has to offer until you attend one of his workshops. Brilliant teacher with the goods.
Nite Fox ur gonna get knocked the fuck for paying this nigga to teach u how to play pretend
@@astral.realm_ then you should go along to one of his seminars and knock him the fuck out instead shit talking on TH-cam shouldn't you? But you won't. Because you're just a shit talker :-)
Aside from the many years required to become effective at self defense in Taiji Quan, another difficulty is that it is hard for an observer to understand what is happening, so it often looks like your opponent is pretending to be thrown or struck because it does not resemble the expected physics of everyday life.
thank you Martial man!
Crystal clear
gratitude
thank you for sharing
thank you sifu Adam Mizner
Namaste!
8:20 he put the slap to the back 😂 we do that in Kali but we hit the lower back the sensitive part. He is just being nice
Sifu Mizner is rapidly becoming my favourite martial artist
I especially liked the Wumei episode. I really hope you do more internal styles so, that I can improve on my personal art. Thank you very much
What's baffling is anyone with eyes can look at this and be baffled!
Incredible skills. I need to find a master like him down here in SoCal
I think the video location in my country..
However It is great video and brings us to real ancient time....You are so professional in this kungfu field.
Thanks! The video was filmed in Chiang Mai, Thailand.
@@THEMARTIALMAN Greaaaat, I thought that is in top mountain of Indonesia....I also learned Chinese kungfu...
However, It is a great honour for us and as eastern we should also learn modernity from the west
Dude is legit. I practice wing chun and utilize the same Qi principles. I love the non believers, once they feel the force they become a practitioner lol 😅
Probably one of the best videos on Tai chi
EXCELENT PROGRAMME, THANKS FOR SHARING ADAM MIZNER'S WISDOM, COULD YOU PLEASE TELL ME WHO COMPOSED THE MUSIC AT THE END OF THE VIDEO, THANKS
Thank you for helping to provide a more full and detailed explanation of this concept!
Needs real sparring. Standing joint locks are to use against skilled people
Great video man, this one makes you rethink those videos you see, where people are literally jumping around from a little push... this looks like real power. I'm sure it was a painful interview.
Unless the practitioner is gentle in temperament and outlook, it is hardly possible to attain great proficiency. I don't see any pain in this video.
Although I subscribed your channel long ago but I am late to find this awesome journey through Taiji, hope to meet him someday & train with him.
I'm... I'm too stoned for this shit. Fucking Hilarious!
Interesting explanations. Looking forward to part 2
Your channel deserves more subscribers. Great content!
The most powerful Spiritual Martial Science, thank you.
Impressive display! There aren’t many on TH-cam of this caliber, thanks for sharing!
Yeah ! Very good stuff . Great vid !
I realized how it works, it's very simple. Mizner's airbag is bigger than MartialMan's airbag ... so he has no chance. I wanted to say Dantien - chi - jin - sung - fa- na - etc...
He just created a new terminology, in Tai Chi, "the Tesla moves" . Love his explanations of the questions.
Hi, thanks for posting all these superb videos.
Just a couple of questions.
About the sinking, which I understood being a mental process or mental state, is there a physical feeling associated with it when we get it right?
Are there any good masters here in northen Italy from who I could leran and deepen my taiji practice?
For all the blind who will not believe. I have done Tai Chi for almost 12 years. The master of my teacher can do the same.
He moves you just with the tip of his finger.
You are not able to hit him, cause he controls you stability.
He is only able to move believers,this is because it is not real.
pure gold
Where was this filmed? Look at that ancient megalithic structure in the background!
Excellent demonstration of tai chi in real time. Definitely exposes a lot of internal practitioners.
you mean the so-called self-styled internal practitioners. not the real ones.
@@alucardaxyz7765 Exactly
Tai chi isn't a martial art...
Adam is awesome and one of the few that is the real deal. You should interview Mark Bram in providence RI USA. His power and skill are amazing. Contact him at internal arts Rhode Island. You wont regret it.
WOW Incredible Skills! I will take part on a workshop in Germany with Sifu Adam Mizner :-D
Alfy FaJing I highly recommend it 👍
well explained. thank you for your work, I will be sharing this with some of my own students. the only thing i hope would be covered later on for future students is the importance of yielding. evading and defending is fine to neutralize an untrained artist, but on the even levels, yielding to an attack to neutralize it will be more important if the opponent can have "conversation" as well as you can.
Yielding and neutralising is an essential skill in this school. You just can't really see him doing it here because of his skill level.
The first scenario in the video displayed more of how incompetent your partner was with take downs. Your demonstration of skeleton-structure is accurate but please show yourself neutralizing someone with a little competence so we can have some faith that your techniques demonstrated have some base in reality.
You have met and had many demonstrations from many masters, but have you any internal energy or chi and can you replicate the invisible force so many masters have shown you,
Yes or no?
All the best.
@ the martial man what is actually your favorite martial art or the one in which you are most interested in? thanks for replying
Looooooool comedy gold
Authentic pushing hands technique demonstrated and explained. Thank you. This is also what I learned from Wu style in Shanghai from Master Ma Yuen Liang’s disciple.
WOW! That iron robe demonstration was impressive!
Very interesting ,thank you for publishing
Is there a season 1 episode 1 with Adam Mizner?
00bava yes, and also many members-only videos with Adam Mizner on my website. www.themartialman.com
@@THEMARTIALMAN Great, thanks!
@@00bava You're welcome
awesome thank you
Absolutely fascinating.
Simply awesome and amazing!!!
Amazing ❤️❤️❤️
While practicing push hands with my instructor, I made the mistake of taking him off balance in front of the class. I lived to regret it.
Very good adam.
Oh ! Even chin na & aikido lock is no problem..... Really amazing !
I can’t believe people actually still believe this nonsense.
As long as there are people that believe bullshit is good, others will keep selling it.
@@Xerrillyou clearly havent got very far in life
#Love Adam - what an awesome dude :)
00:05:08 YEAH
thanks for the quick reply i will take a look at the other video. cheers
30 years of hard kung fu practice. Today, I just learned that I know nothing.
I was in an external Kung fu style for over 25 years and went into the internal arts of Xsing Yi and Tai chi and am just starting to understand body dynamics.
The most good internal masters learned external styles before including Adam! Also the internal/external dividing is quite new. Most good "external" Kung Fu has also internals. From a good Kung Fu master you can learn more than from a bad Taji teacher.
@@Gieszkanne To be fair, I also learned and practiced internal training, like iron shirt and iron palm. But these trainings didn't give me anywhere near the internal control that I see with Mizner. In fact, I've never seen anything close to his ability from any martial artist. I never studied Tai Chi.
@@Graymanone You should have spent your time learning real martial arts...
Amazing master
Very nice
They should notice, not you. ❤ Not only one juwel in the presentation. Thank you for sharing. 🙏🏻
this is excellent! big fan of Adam Minzer.
Do want to say though, his definition of other kung fu seemed to be geared toward WC which has much of the same principles of Tai Chi, through hip and shifting movements, absorbing and redirecting energy. The longer you practice it, it seems the more Chi you build and the more our body becomes loose and like a spring. Being stiff is the beginning of learning the movements and structure.
Lol, Wing Chun has nothing in Conan with Tai chi, keep dreaming!
Real Tai Chi skill over there.Thanks for sharing!
Vincent Marduk I'm happy to hear you enjoyed it 👍
Do you know about Master Chen Zhonghua?
Yes I'm aware of Chen Zhonghua and the practical method system but have never had the chance to meet him.
I hope you have the opportunity to interview him, he is one of the most intelligent and knowledgeable Tai Chi people you will see. And he is very didactic when it comes to teaching. Like Sifu Adam Mizner his Tai Chi is on another level.
Vincent Marduk yes and neither of them even compare to Chen Xiaowang and other Chen style masters like his son Chen YingJun
I have a better understanding of Taichi bc of Sifu Adam thanks
