INTERESTING TAI CHI MATCH

You know I really can't tell if that's staged or not...

But two things I know for sure:

1) The fighter in the red does have that warrior sparkle in his eyes. Fo sho.

2) The ref is Chairman Mao

That was pretty interesting, now one of them will die in 3 days. Just kidding, I love Tai Chi.

Here are the real Tai Chi Masters in action.

now lets watch the instant replay in slow motion

Yes, I back Sharif's view.

If it wasnt staged what a fine example of emphasis on stylisation at the expense of effectiveness.

Big boy was good, the moves work for him but the fluttery touches waste speed, strength & energy. How much was his size and weight & experience? Loved the kick defence early in the first round. Good side kicks from big man.

& I quite like tai-chi too. I practised for awhile a few years ago, then the teacher moved.

It was combined with another style of kung-fu, Feng Shou, Never got into it. The bloke teaching it put me off.

Love Tai Chi, and the apps look authentic ... but definitely staged ....
