Well done! I'm glad you listened to me and turned to your one true calling - entertaining people with dumb jokes and pranks. To be honest, you weren't good at martial arts at all. No offense. But here - here you are in the right place. I see ahead of you the bright future of the crowd's most beloved stand-up comedian. And the unfortunate Mizner will remain just a Taiji Quan master, while you conquered the heights of the clown's art. He would probably be very upset if he realized what he missed out on by investing his time in actual Taiji Quan skills instead of investing it, like you, in the far more noble and crowd-pleasing role of court jester. 🤣
Aw, you’re back. No one listens to you. Not one of your heroes supported you. Remember. That list? Those people that would put me in my place? 😂😂🤦
@@indefenceofthetraditionalma I came back just to see where you are and I find you where I left you. A dumb troll with even dumber jokes. I'll check on you from time to time, still hope never dies, you might get out of this shithole one day. Just to think that there are people who justify their existence by producing troll content... it's like eating the scraps by the garbage cans and spitting on those who threw them there. Is your life so miserable that you fill it like this? it's sad, really.
Aw, that was a long explanation of why you can’t stay away 🫢
@@indefenceofthetraditionalma I'm glad it only took you three days to understand what I wrote. Apparently, despite your comical sparring defense, your brain hasn't taken a fatal amount of blows yet. Keep your head, you'll need it to come up with new stupid jokes, because the ones you've been telling for a while are already desperately predictable. Try not to be any more mediocre than your usual level, please, for the sake of us, your biggest fans as a stand-up comedian. 🥰
Aww, are you sad that I didn’t respond to you straight away? Thats so sweet. You’re back again proving my point 🥰 Have you seen me sparring?
ive always used shock doctors. Need to get me a fitted mouthguard myself.
They really are sorry every penny
There was a deleted comment saying that Chi Gung is essential. This is partially true. All traditional Tai Chi schools use standing meditation and breathing exercises. It is not Chi Gung in the formal sense and maybe the term "chi-fa" would be more appropriate. Either way, this is where the biggest benefit for weight loss is found.
Interesting. What makes you say that?
I'm in the same situation. I'm putting together my own regiment solely using Tai Chi. Let me know if you want to swap notes.
Cross-training is great but we should get good at applying Tai Chi before diving into the ground work of other styles. I like your honesty Alan, I just think you had access to different Tai Chi than I did and cross-trained much earlier. I still plan to have an MMA match or three but first will be BJJ which I expect to be owned by black belts but I have faced several skilled and active Blue belts which my Taiji deal with just fine.
Reverse experience, its been hard dominating in BJJ and Kickboxing, then taking up Tai Chi for the health benefits because now I’m a grandad and I need to think about knee longevity and slowing down a bit, that might be easier said than done though, it might also facilitate moving in slow mo when I spar, that theory is not proven as it was a online course, I might still just go all out with a double leg, back take then RNC over chi haduken moves, is Tai Chi mostly shadow grappling? it feels like it. Bagua is next on the list.
Tai chi, I’m my experience, is mma without the groundwork (although we did play around with this in my system albeit badly)
@@indefenceofthetraditionalma How many yrs in TC before you tried fighting or sparring with it?
@@jasonsecretsword7606 about two
The thing here, though, is not the video, none of this. What lies below the suface of this, this with the face commenting on a clip, is someone who is going around trying to make themselves look good and feel good, by trying to make others look bad. And he's picking on other people's work to do this. For whatever reason it may be, mental health, family trouble, girl trouble, boy trouble, whatever. But, this guy shows the rot of society. The truth actually behind this video has nothing to do with martial arts, but some guy who has a problem with someone else. Grow up, dude! Martial arts deserve better than that. This is just some jibe at someone, and you are using your platform to do it. Quite unprofessional, too.
My platform is to defend traditional martial arts. How can I do that when teachers are abusing their students? Either you’re the one getting punched in the head, the ‘smiling knife’ has made a real effort to get his grammar right or he’s found a friend to write down what he wants to say 😂 Nice try. Why do you always mirror your own words from your real account?
So no criticism is allowed? This type of demo is just quite simply a bad look, a demo where you endlessly strike a complient opponent constantly flinching is not a good way to show your skill, which seemingly MaritalArtUK guy does have...it's just not a useful demo at all and isn't a fair show of skill 🤷♂️
@indefenceofthetraditionalma 😂😂😂😂 that's a laugh there's nothing traditional martial arts about you . Mr woke fake paul alan .
@martialgeeks 😂😂😂 gay response, yes we could criticise you too but why bother. Look at your tai chi diet video, your a failed ufc contender, you failed, so you moan like a woman online about others. Because your such a big tough guy 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@MartialArtUK the fact you see not being racist or a homophobe is an insult says everything anyone needs to know about you. If hitting your students as a way to get clicks on a you tube video is traditional, I’m fine, thanks 🙏🏻
If your "in defence of traditional Martial Arts", why pick a poor example of a traditional Martial Art, unless its to wind someone up! Why not pick good examples of a martial art, in this case Wing Chun and highlight why they are good. I would put forward that there are plenty of good examples of Wing Chun in the UK on You Tube, I might be biased (almost certainly am).
I’ve spoken about this a lot. The main reason I do stuff like this is because when I went back to practicing tai chi, I found that the thing that traditional martial arts Need defending from most are the woo artists. I don’t actually know of any problems that go away if you just ignore them.
Good point this hair model does not know enough about traditional or modern martial arts to criticise others, he does so because of his mental health issues it has nothing to do with tradition or martial arts hes a you tube warrior been watching too much Jake Paul..
@user-wr4lz8uy6n this is tragic ua-cam.com/video/ZMHQY58gL6M/v-deo.htmlsi=s-lJ1JIKe9AAcqLF
@@andymax1 because the criticism of this type of demo has nothing to do with what art is being presented, this is that very Dk Yooesque "let me hurt my partner who's just standing there and flinching so I look cool type of demo" that's rampant in TMA and should stop, regardless of which art is being showcased 🤷♂️
Because hes a big bully and thinks he's tough , besides what he " thinks " hes not fast enough to stop this wing chun making his nose go pop pop
Looking at your own content im thinking your next video should be titled how to defend hair pulling in a street fight . And how to select hair bands that match mma gloves . Im wondering why you think your a good critic for martial arts ? Are you a qualified martal art instructor? If not why not ?
@@MartialArtUK personal attacks about my hair from guys that look like they haven’t washed theirs for over a fortnight will be ignored….
@@indefenceofthetraditionalma Your hair is a defense. One touch of its soft shininess and even the hardest heart would melt ;-)
😂😂👌
@indefenceofthetraditionalma it's funny because its true 😂 if I was gay as u I would do my little dis video on your videos but they are so awful there is nothing on your channel at all that is your own work thats worth sharing 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@MartialArtUK homophobic and racist. Just like that well respected wing chun teacher said you were. It must suck to be so insecure
Sounds like your all experts at this stuff ? And your real tough guys Thanks for the remix . I understand this chanel has no decent content of his own and uses others work, I actually thought this guys channel is an advert for a hair salon.
Stop hitting students for no reason
@@indefenceofthetraditionalma that really shows a complete ignorance to what wing chun does . Do you have any students ? From your videos it sounds like your own teachers didn't want you as a student lol . Ironic now your an online critic lol
@@indefenceofthetraditionalma I here your like 6.2ft ? 6.4ft ? Which is it ? If you was 5.4ft would you be so over confident? Lol I think not.
@@indefenceofthetraditionalma you have a purple belt in bjj from who ? Do you still train with them? If not, why not ? You had 3 mma fights where any of them bigger than you? Your also an expert of the mystical wu dang wu wu style of tai chi from the magic Mountain men of wu dang, what other martial arts have you done and where?
@@MartialArtUK you’re getting angry again. As I already said, stop hitting your students for no reason. It’s really bad look
Awesome! Looking forward to it!!!
Ooouu ! I like those!!! Need some of them!!!
Used them yesterday and have to say they were so good. The extra padding made me feel more comfortable with throwing strikes and it didn’t interfere with grabbing and grappling
@@indefenceofthetraditionalma I'm thinking I'm going to have to invest as well - thanks for the insight & feedback!
The actual mechanics are fine, but I really, really dislike this type of "punch a flinchy guy showcase" approach, it's rampant in traditional martial arts and it just looks like bullying, I think showcasing grappling on a non resistent opponent can be good for teaching (again, lighter throws than it would be in a fight) but not with striking... like this
The thing I don’t get about these displays is that they could just as easily be done on a punch bag
@@indefenceofthetraditionalma exactly, or with no contact, just to show what the technique is, and if the response to that is but the person wouldn't just ne standing there, then just do sparring instead, it really has no purpouse
@@martialgeeks light contact is ok e.g. to demonstrate you are hitting somewhere which causes a reaction. But since the next stage is, or should be, to train the opponent to counter, I suggest karma should take its course.
Sounds like your an expert, I'm sure the guy in the video would agree. This is a class clip to promote community level martial arts club . Thanks for the views. Any content of yours I should watch?
@@indefenceofthetraditionalma wing chun does this and wooden dummy more than punch bag . Thanks for the views
What kind of company is that, they can't even spell a famous spiderman villain's name correctly 💀😆
😂😂😂
@@indefenceofthetraditionalmaBtw, can't wait to see you tie your hair in sparring, I look like a shi tzu dog with the way I tie my hair 😂😂😂
I’ll probably just go clay guida style
It looks worse if they hit you back.
Sounds like your an expert , any content of yours I should view?
@@MartialArtUK are you saying it doesn’t look worse if they hit you back? Richard is a full contact sword fighter. Pretty decent. Definitely better than me
@indefenceofthetraditionalma my students think you like me in a gay way . Good I'm glad you know someone better than you, but again my friend says this my friend says that , I'm not sure if your gay or just a woman but again ooo you gonna get your friend with a sword 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@indefenceofthetraditionalma hope that's a real Richard and not just your own dick in your hand 😂😂 by the way why don't you tell me what your mummy says too 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@MartialArtUK yes, I’m sure your students think that. Why don’t you make up another account to confirm what you just wrote 😂
"Hard to pull out eh?" 😆
How do you think I became a dad at 22?

Eyy, as an aside to this misbegoten challenge, do you have any more content or any thing else to say about your time with your teacher Keith Ross? Sorry if i butchered that mans name... its been a while. But i found that very endearing and id like to hear more about that, or even speak to you about that and perhaps other martial arts topics if you'd be interested.
Misbegotten? I’m always up for collaborating
I'm truly sincerely impressed by you and your effort to develop your taijiquan
Thank you 🙏🏻
It's hard to see what's going on .but this is very dangerous and the partner can get very hurt with seemingly no movement.
No on can be hurt from being touched lightly. It’s bull💩
Just go to one of his workshops. Not like he is hiding. He runs them in Europe every year. You wont because it's easier to run the mouth than change beliefs.
They won’t let me film
@@indefenceofthetraditionalma You don't need to film to have an experience and change your ideas-or not. Let go of your need to prove something for personal attention and just go push with him, Curtis, Steffan or any senior student.
@@gold-fever.prospecting what part of this do you not understand? I don’t need to experience it. It’s bull💩 I need proof to show gullible idiots
Sorry….it is wrestling and joint lock in Chinese style….
Sorry….you spelt ‘Tai ch has wrestling and joint locks in it as part of an overall fighting system’ wrong….
Damn ı though he punched him 😅
Hips lock in forwards position heal down unlocks the hips 🆗❔
That as maybe, the demonstration was still dishonest
Based on this fight footage, you would absolutely destroy Mizner in a fight.
For me, it’s not about who can win in a fight (I only had three very amateurish mma fights), I just think that people should be able to put what they teach into practice.
Tao te Ching commentaries by B.K. Frantzis is good
Indeed Dude! Never turn your back
Comedy gold
Thanks. I’m disappointed it’s performed so badly in terms of views. I think it’s my favourite
@indefenceofthetraditionalma I truly love " future Alan"....just the sheer enthusiasm!!
Part of it is gullibility, and part is having watched several of your videos and having come to trust you. Having said that, it's a good lesson. I will continue to trust your insights, but I'm going to be more suspicious from now on. 😊
That’s bollocks if he sat into his stance with his legs flat on the floor he would be above to hold

barry robbinsons.. trained with him in 2007-2008.. now that dude can box.. amazing coach.
One of the featured clips in this video (1970) states he had 600 students in the UK. At that time Bruce Lee was just stating to be known in the West. Btw there is Feng Sho in Germany ua-cam.com/video/1RDEjlprKPM/v-deo.htmlsi=Bxu7_7S0LIlwHM7e
💯💪🙏...this is great! Great analysis of your progress & challenges. As with you, even though I work from home, the work-life balance affects my efforts in exercise. As you noted, I've resorted to filming my "challenge" exercises to help me maintain accountability - forced me into action per se. I commend your transparency about your challenges to accomplish your & insightful view to make adaptations. It's an inspiring as a fellow T'ai Chi practitioner to witness your attempts at weight loss using the practice; I'm currently doing something fairly similar to get back down to my 'fight weight'! Keep at it & I'm looking forward to hearing about your future results 💪 🙏💯👏✊️!!!
Did you get many takers @4.06?
I’ve had some interest. Two guys I’m hoping to sort a date out over August to go and meet and do some filming with. I probably need to be a bit more proactive and actually email some teachers
On that subject, how would you feel about taking part?
@@indefenceofthetraditionalma I would feel good about it.
And don't think you've won just because you can push someone ;)
Exactly! Never assume your oppnent is done until he's done by you.
Good!
Is a heel kick also 'wrestling' ? How about the double punch ?
It’s interesting that a lot of tai chi guys say that there are more grappling techniques than striking and that’s why it’s a wrestling system. I then have to point out that there are more grappling techniques in MMA than striking but that we wouldn’t call mma a wrestling system
Had a pushing hand drill before with a practitioner, it was way more interesting experience than this (we combined it with light/point striking, too)
It must be the high-tech footwear that gives him the energetic upper hand...
😂😂🤣
What pisses me off too is when they say "we don't spar" so are they recognising that these demos don't involve resistance?
The teacher is lost, the question is how best to rehabilitate students after they have been programmed in such a way
I’ve spoken to a couple of students that got duped but neither of them were willing to be interviewed about it (even off the record). I’m really interested in finding out when it twigged
@@indefenceofthetraditionalmawould be fascinating. Of course these realisations tend to be gradual and incomplete
@@indefenceofthetraditionalma Do you mean that they admitted to themselves that they were duped into believing this cosplay is real?
@@floatingbonestaichi yeah, one said he just came to a gradual realisation. The other said it clicked whilst pushing hands with mizner. Neither would go into greater detail. Not sure if they were ashamed or just scared of putting their heads above the parapets
@@indefenceofthetraditionalma You have to give them credit for admitting they were duped... Changing one's belief takes a lot more character than simply digging oneself deeper in denial...
Can we agree that it is both a rubbish student and a terrible teacher?
I am willing to accept such a statement 😂
Shame on both of them!
It is probably morally unacceptable not to imitate. 😂😂😂 Manners and moral is so important.😂😂😂
Can we highlight the good clips as well, then we can hone in on something slightly useful.
I’ll try
