Hit Tiger - Tai Chi Underground - Project: Combat Methods

Hit Tiger -- found in the section 2 of the Yang tai chi long form. Often portrayed with large sweeping arm rotations. The movements in the form were exaggerated (large frame) but originally had a shorter frame as depicted here. More in line with the application.

The biggest problem with Internal Martial Arts: for every Randy Brown and James Carrss there are ten Adam Mizners.

Great as usual!

[@Mantisboxers]

Thanks, A Lt!

Cool video! This move reminds me of osoto Gari in judo, but here it's done in a LvL stance with a lapel and belt grip.

[@Mantisboxers]

Thanks, @DavyBigFly! Appreciate the judo comparison. 👍

Cool! Does it have a no gi version by any chance? And if so, how much would it change on technique, set up and efectiveness? Great video!

[@Mantisboxers]

There is a way to do this no gi, yes. It's practical and effective. However, if you see this move done in the taiji form, the sweeping movement prior to the execution would go away. It would have a different setup. End posture though, would like up though. Next week, we start dealing with some of the no gi applications! 👍

@Randy Brown Excelent. Thank you for the answer! I'll be sure to watch the next videos as well
