This guy is so skillful. He has very very advanced skills, way beyond the simple gi gong stuff. Of the few young guys that I have seen recently, this guy is the best and th one I would seek out to learn from.
I think if we want to promote taijiquan as a legit martial art, we should have our own unified rules to compete other than tuishou, maybe a bit more combative, maybe like sanda but with no gloves and more emphasis on the clinch and wrestling part, all the good stuff qin na, striking, throws. À complete ruleset that rewards the use of taichi principles. I believe influencial masters like you or Adam Mizner could promote something like this and make it famous quickly. I think it's necessary if we want the art to keep growing.
I'm not sure about having competition rules - gave the thumbs up anyways - but more schools need to teach the martial aspect. I do agree this knowledge and/or the methods need to be systematized and used broadly throughout the art.
@@ttcostadc In my personal opinion competition can be a great laboratory, and a great display for an art. But the ruleset needs to be thought carefully or else it might enable unexpected or unintended tactics and change it into something weird, like fixed step pushing hands for instance, or Olympic fencing.
In my knowledge Tai chi san shou (sparring one not the training one) are quite combative. All the technique (chin na, throwing, breaking etc.) put into it. San shou is basically a sparring or fighting. While Tai chi tui shou is on a training side with a little competitive on higher level. But most of the Tui shou competition nowadays uses muscle strength not the Jin.
@@vanillaz That is pretty much the way I understand it too. Push hands should be an exercise in learning, but there are competitions. Sanshou is sparring, but not for points, for practice. It is unfortunate it is not taught and practiced more widely, using the principles of taijiquan.
@@vanillaz In theory yes...Though I never witnessed it practiced outside of a very light sparring, two persons forms or pretty terrible sanda sparring. That's why I would be for a competitive unified ruleset.
I don't recommend this. Newer Tai Chi practitioners will injure themselves trying to throw a closed fist without proper training. Open hand strikes along with forearms and elbows is more suitable. Also, this video needs subtitles :/

Always clear and informative.
And...what are you doing Sifu Liang? You look stronger every new video.
Keep up all the great teaching.
We definitely need more of this. Your explanation is gorgeous. :)

I really want a pair of comfortable leather sandals like his!

Every Art needs sparring!
