Thread: Tai Chi Fighters Represent

    Fine, I'll say it. Chokes? groundwork? these guys aren't doing pure tai chi. and hospitalization? isn't that against the whole hippy creed?

    i'm nobody...i'm nobody. i'm a tramp, a bum, a hobo... a boxcar and a jug of wine... but i'm a straight razor if you get to close to me.

    I will punch, kick, choke, throw or joint manipulate any nationality equally without predjudice.

    I have developed a ground tai chi form simply by starting my tai chi form by laying on my back and modifying the moves to fit the situation.

    I will be giving a seminar on it in the middle of june. Probably 2 days and it will only be $5600 for both days.

    serious inquiries only.

    "If you find the right balance between desperation and fear you can make people believe anything"

    "Is enlightenment even possible? Or, did I drive by it like a missed exit?"

    It's simpler than you think.

    no, I'll teach anyone this form. It has been a secret for far too long.

    I will also be offering a children's session that is guaranteed to make your kid a straight A student, or your money back.

    oh, and there is the 'direct transmission' session which is guaranteed to improve your sex life.

    If you send your money in by next Tuesday it will only be $3900.

    I was selling to anyone foolish enough to send me that much money for a seminar.

    scotty1, we're nothing more than training partners. They stand on their own legs.

    I wasn't there, so I don't know why they weren't allowed. It's just that they should have been.

    I have some questions Shooter if that's cool.

    -"Aaron has fought twice in MMA as well as sweeping his division last spring in a sub-wrestling tournament."

    How long had he been practising tai chi when did that?

    - What's an ippon?

    - chokes. Do you use movement found in the tai chi as chokes, or use 'techniques' taken from other arts and apply them using tai chi principles?

    Excuse my ignorance if the last question's stupid

    Congrats Shooter and Shooters dudes


    An ippon is a point in judo, a full point, when you get an ippon the judo match is over and you win. Its when you flip the dude and he ends with his back against the floor and/or when you do a perfectly fine judo "flip dude movement"

    He'd been training for about 10 months prior to his first time in MMA.

    Ippon is like xebulon said. Thanx, xebbic answerman.

    Chokes are just applied chin-na. Like attacking the joints, tendons, muscles, arteries, and breath. Chin-na methods are hitting, seizing, pulling, and rending. There are no techniques...just good movement.
