Great video guys 🙏☯
Thank you for the kind comment! 😃🙏
I hoped to see some wing chun viewpoints towards Tai Chi as well.
I also practice both - but my primary skill is within Wing.
To me there is almost no difference, except that the classic wing chun approach has their focus on getting the hands free to hit, (as you don't to get stuck to an opponent in a self defence scenario) while Tai chi gives you subtle qualities that allows you to "hijack" the opponents nervous system and structure without needing to free the hands at all.
However I find that a lot of Tai chi practitioners struggle with wing chun in some cases where the Wing guy is able to maintain a neutral point of contact.
But I guess this goes both ways anyway.. so...
It seem to me that it all boils down who knows themselves the best
What I’m hearing is you want to see Marlon beat me up more. I’ll tell him to hold back less the next time he visits! 😆
Good point about how it all boils down to the practitioners and their self awareness and skill with their art! 😃🙏
@@phoenixmountaintaichi
Haha EXACTLY!
Well.. I must admit It would be fun watching two great masters in an intense duel - where nobody moves an inch for 3 hours, while a guzheng is playing in the background!
Lets name the video "Tai Chi vs Wing chun ASMR"
@@Tequn9qHaha! I like the way you think! 😃🙌
Wingchun combined with internal power
I think Wing Chun has its own form of internal power which suits its strategy and application. Here we look at how another flavor of internal power can complement and interact with Wing Chun, and what Tai Chi can learn from Wing Chun’s strategies and principles. Thank you for sharing your comment! 😃🙏
Your teaching and explanations have helped a lot, but feeling the energy in person was the missing link for me. You have to feel Tai Chi to appreciate it
@@nvisblfist1You’ve got a great point again! Because how Tai Chi feels is so unusual and unexpected, you can learn even more by experiencing it directly. 😃🙏
BTW everyone this is Sifu Marlon himself! Check out his channel at:

Would love to see more of these mixed martial arts style sharing. I wonder how Tai Chi will combine with XingYi Quan.
Thank you for the comment! Check out this video in which we discuss the blend you suggested! 😃🙏

Thanks Master Chester. I learnd something new about kow which I initially thought was a shoulder strike but its to disperse energy, how does this work: Is it about relaxing the shoulder and using it as a pivot point instead of moving body around the spine?
Also with zhou - the elbow, is this used a pre-cursor before using Lu -rollback, in that you redirect the force using the elbow and then applyinf Lu?
Very subtle, but I can see how that would off balance an opponent and leave him open to.....just about anything you wanted to do. Or give you a window to shed him and escape. The combination of Both Arts seems to be very useful for close in grappling and short striking.
I might have asked you this before, but what do you think of the Russian Military Art of Systema? It appears to be very similar to Tai Chi. Or am I wrong?
Anyway, great video.
You’re right about the possibilities to create openings and options in close range! When I watch Systema performed by Mikhail Ryabko, I do see definite similarities especially in how they deal with intention and their relaxed striking. I highlight his because he is not as bendy or wiggly, in the sense that Yang Tai Chi usually has very little bending and twisting. It would be interesting to learn more about Systema! Thanks for bringing up these interesting topics! 😃🙏
@phoenixmountaintaichi 😎👍🏾.
Demonstration is different from real fight.
Thanks captain obvious
