Strong Man vs Tai Chi: Using Tai Chi to Overcome Strength; A Secret Revealed
Рет қаралды 69,419
Ай бұрынIn this video, Susan Thompson Tai Chi, picks a person she does not know who has considerable size and strength advantage and experiments to see if she can move him from his base when he resists. She demonstrates using the Tai Chi principle of connecting to the opponents fascia. Watch as Susan not only demonstrates success, but also teaches the technique in a short amount of time to someone not indoctrinated to Tai Chi.
Many thanks to Phoenix Mountain Tai Chi, Chester Lin for bringing together
my skills and sharing his knowledge generously. Also to my late Master, Master William Ting for teaching me internal principles of Tai Chi.

i'm a bit confused : you pushed casey over by confusing his nervous system b/c the force of your push stays in the fascial layers, not directing your force through his muscles or bones... and then you also said that if he can lift using his fascia, then he can lift more?? can you clarify? esp about how to access our fascia to lift more or be stronger (and presumably faster)...?
@InternalTaiChi Ай бұрын
This is a great question. The key is to bypass your own muscular force as well and to use your fascia as much as possible instead. I'll make a video demonstrating the differences. In the meantime you can try holding and carrying two fairly heavy grocery bags. First carry them by contracting your muscles, your biceps, deltoid, etc all working. This is how we normally carry the bags. Next, let your arms down by your side while carrying the bags. Imagine the external mesh of fascia and become comfortable with the weight you're carrying, allowing it to spread over your back. Now you're sending and using the fascia to support and carry the bags instead. When you lift the bags to the counter, continue to spread the force weight across the body rather than to the muscles. The interesting thing is fascia remodels itself based on how we use it. If it speed you want, you can develop the fascia to support speed and reduce injury.

You're confused because it's silly. Fascia Ishtar some mystical "system" that your body is confused by... your body knows exactly what fascia is surrounds every connective tissue organ etcetera in the body
@InternalTaiChi 22 күн бұрын
I am an occupational therapist and have an intimate knowledge of the fascia and it's feedback system. I have dissected and held human fascia in my hands. What are your qualifications to make such as statement? Our muscles, joints and tendons/ligaments have golgi receptors which work and are activated through heavy work, gravity and force and gives us proprioceptive feedback. When someone issues through the body directly, these golgi receptors are activated and give the person proprioceptive feedback, allowing them to know exactly where the force is coming from and how to counter it. The fascia on the other hand does not have these receptors. Our neurological system can not interpret light influence upon the fascia. That is where the body gets confused and can't engage an immediate counter to that issuance. All I ask is that you try it before you start name calling and labeling with derogatory comments such as "silly."

Can you still do this in a martial setting? For instance if someone has a knife in their hand or if they're wearing a coat? If they're wearing a coat how can you assess the correct pressure?
@InternalTaiChi 4 күн бұрын
You ask really great questions. I personally do not feel I have the skills (yet) to confidently use this skill in a martial setting. Eventually I will though. So, the answer is YES. All you need is a bit of contact and you can use the fascia to take them off balance. And if they are wearing a coat, you pull on the coat, to get to the fascia! The coat works to your advantage. You do not need to assess their posture, only feel and sense it. The more refined you get with the skill, the less touch pressure you need.

@@InternalTaiChi Ahh, got ya. Yeah, I'm just keepin' it real and telling it like it is. Some people just love to assume things without doing full research into them first, or come from a background where those things are a normal part of life. For those who are knowledgeable in both Chinese martial arts (not the actual fighting, but just knowledge of how they work and their philosophies) AND astrophysics and quantum physics, you would know that "chi" is basically the Higgs Field. If you know how to manipulate chi, then you would be able to manipulate matter and energy as well (since the Higgs Field is what gives particles their masses in this universe). Like "The Force" in Star Wars, if you can manipulate chi, you can use it to heal or make a living organism (or any other matter) "explode" from the inside out !! And there's a branch of Chinese martial arts specializing in this style of kung fu that not too many non-Chinese know about, and it's called "Nei Kung" (or "Internal Kung Fu") and it's sub-branch more famously known as "Chi Kung" (or literally, "Pressure Kung Fu", from which the "chi" part of the term "tai chi" comes from), and yes, you would have to spend at least 20 years of your life isolated as a hermit, away from society, focusing on learning nothing except this type of martial arts before you can even achieve any sort of neophyte results, and that's a fact !! Anyway, I love what you're doing, spreading and teaching the basics of taichi for the benefit of society. You oughta be commended. Keep up the great work and YT channel. BTW, it used to be that YT allowed users to write personally to each other, but it was more of like an email style where each user had their own YT inbox. So, my bad, maybe "DM" wasn't the best term to use. lol

Just tapping into the balance. Nothing "western" about the other way - in fact we know about "fascia" thanks to western science
@InternalTaiChi Ай бұрын
The western example was the issuance of force without regard to the fascia. Force on force. The technique used instead, is to use a lighter touch while tapping into the fascia. This is a more eastern approach in my perspective. You are correct that we are discovering more scientifically about the fascia thanks to western medicine. Perhaps a better delineation on my part would simply be Force/Strength vs light touch and fascia connection rather than whose responsible for the concept.

Not to be a troll here as Tai Chi already receives it's fair share of negativity from naysayers within the MMA community on the regular, but did you really name your channel "Internal Tai Chi"? Talk about redundant, it's like a channel devoted to professional swimming naming its channel, "Wet Water Swimming", or a carpentry channel called "Working With Wood From Trees", or a channel devoted to art called "Painting with Pigments" or a bowling channel called "Bowling With Balls". I have been involved with Chen, Yang, and Wu styles of Taijiquan starting back in the late 80's and I have yet to hear of any branch of Tai Chi that was purposely external in its training or use. That said your skill in Tai Chi is excellent, your knowledge of Tai Chi is excellent and your ability to teach and explain everything clearly is also excellent.

Ha! Ha! I like your comment and insight. You are very correct that it is a redundancy. However, and sadly, many people only know and have experienced Tai Chi from a superficial, external manner. You have been blessed in your martial art journey if you have not witnessed that. Many people start completely external (learning just the movements for "exercise") and never realize that there is an entirely different and valuable part to Tai Chi which involves that which is not seen, but is felt and cultivated in a different way than just in movements and forms. Also, keep in mind KZfaq algorithms works on WORDS and TITLES. So the wording, no matter how redundant it may seem, is helpful in people finding me. By the way, I play Uke too! Wishing you the best.

Thank you for your comment. I have 273 videos on my channel. I seriously doubt you have looked at more than my past four videos if you call me a "one trick pony." Still, I delight that you call it a "trick" because it really is a trick that anyone can learn!! Yay!! I tend to upload videos and teach in themes. This month's theme is connecting to the fascia and I have created some repetition in my videos for people to learn. A good teacher always repeats themselves. Additionally, you are correct in that my skill is developing. I like to be transparent with where I am in my skill set, (and where I am not....) so that others are encouraged to embrace where they are in their journey and understand that where they are is okay and they can grow from there. A few months ago, I could barely move someone in this fashion. Now I can do it with just a light touch, which is thrilling for me. In a few more months I will be able to do more, and will likely post those videos too. It is a journey which I invite my followers to join me in. If you are bored, move on...that is okay with me!

My next video will demonstrate the differences between body mechanics, circular force, angled force vs. fascia. You are correct in that there is a science behind it. However, this science is neuroscience instead of physics. The receptors of the fascia feel and process differently in the brain and spinal neurological feedback loop than muscles and bones.

Then when I could do it to someone else, I was transported to another level of understanding. You might want to try it before you give up on the "sense of it." Anyway, thanks for watching and even for your comment. I actually am enjoying the dubious folks because it makes me realize how incomprehensible this can be with just watching it.

I actually enjoy the doubters. It points out that this appears pretty unbelievable. I used to be that way too, (although I never publicly lol at someone). Wishing you the best in your journey.

None of this crap works against the ancient and deadly Kung Fu style of MMA. 🙄🙄🙄

Check out Howard of Prana Dynamics using these techniques against any and all martial art fighters and then make your statement. Howard has higher level skills than me currently. I'm still in the development stages but will get there. And as previously stated, if your focus is to beat up someone, you're missing the point of my channel and teaching. The Martial Art aspect of these techniques is the lowest hanging branch. There's so much more.
