To see the history of Ma, his 2017 incident with Xu Xiaodong: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mMeXqtWapqecg4E.html Ma baoguo's 2020 return: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bq2UpK2Q3NCWnnk.html More of this interview in question translated. This time about the Peter Irving footage: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kNWprLN0vsedgo0.html The full interview in the description.

The interviewer wasn't cringing, it's simply that the master's chi was too strong to bare

He lose because 1) poison 2) light too bright 3) He didnt have breakfast that day. 4) He forgot to watch ipman 4

Lol he probably thought that feeling stiff from all the nerves and adrenaline from being in his first-ever fight was poison

He got hit so hard he thought he was posioned

If he was indoctrinated into his beliefs at an early enough age, then his entire frame of reference will ALWAYS be within those beliefs he was indoctrinated into. I think that it's quite possible that he does truly believe the rubbish he speaks. Delusion tends to be total, and the fact that he actually accepts challenges, convinces me that he's deluded enough to believe in his "powers."

His excuses comes straight out of the plot of Bruce Lee's movie the Chinese Connection

I've met these type of guys. I think there is a misconception that they are frauds. I don't think that's the case. To be a fraud they have to know what they are doing doesn't work. However many of these guys really believe in their powers. This is reinforced by their students and the cycle continues.

This is a true story : my cousin was a Taichi practicioner in highschool and college , even teaching old people in parks for early morning exercises, one day he was involved in a fist fight and he told me during the fight everything he learn went out of the window and he found himself resorting to swinging and biting his opponent for dear life. Funny as f

The cognitive dissonance is a very strong poison, yes. If one spent an entire life to learn ineffective fighting methods then this is how one cope with it.

I absolutely 100% want more translations that is my fav content on this channel

Please add more of this style content; great stuff, thanks for taking your time to research the topic of martial arts b.s.

He should look into if he got enough rice & side dishes too

Dude I LOVE you're content and commentary, I've followed your vids for a longgggg time, many years. Keep up the great work!

I’m Very happy this was posted

Really sad actually. I trained with the guy in uk for about a year. He was a really genuine guy teaching some interesting stuff. I was doing kick boxing and wing Chun too and he didn’t like me doing it. He called it weak! He demeans himself by trying to build a persona for himself and it’s all about money!

We definitely need to hear the whole interview.

I think he meant to say "I lost because I know now my Tai Chi is useless and weak against real fighters and hobbyists. And so I deserve to get knocked around with that fast fist on my face and fall asleep in the hopes that I have won in my dreams."

Yes, these frauds are extreme narcissists and they're always high on their own supply. Is he going to admit he's got holes in his game and has maybe been wasting his life on his martial art? It takes an extremely humble person to have that sort of introspection and he isn't that kind of person.

I love the translations man. It gives us insight into the mindset of the folks over in China, both delusional or not!

Thank you! I definitely want more! In fact, this translation/Chinese martial arts could be a steady gig for you. You’re the only one doing it. Niche baby! $$$$$$

He probably watched every single English dubbed kung-fu movie ever made and practiced along.

Yea, Tai chi has its use when it comes to stance training, balance, learning how to shift, relaxation and health but it's not really an art you want to be challenging MMA fighters with unless you crosstrain in other martial arts as well. If it's your primary martial art, you're most likely not going to do too well. Especially if you never spar. That goes for a lot of other Martial Arts styles too.

I think he believes what he's saying, put yourself in his shoes, I'm guessing he's been training Taichi for most of his life. When you spend so much of your life doing something like that, it becomes a part of your identity. Looking at himself and considering the possibility that maybe, he can't defend himself would be a huge blow to his identity which would mean having to accept he did something that was useless for combat. If I was in his shoes, I would feel pretty worthless and realise that I've wasted a lot of time with very little opportunity at his age to change his direction. Delusion has it's benefits in protecting your ego. The thing I hate most about this, is that I love Taichi but never knew it was a martial art until my old Kung Fu teacher showed me the application. Not knowing that, I think it's pretty cool like Yoga and is in a much better position to be preserved than Aikido. Unlike Aikido, Taichi movement is more visually solo than Aikido where in Aikido, visually in all of it's practices look combative. Taichi doesn't unless you have someone point it out to you. That may change if Taichi masters keep doing stuff like this where they make claims of being invincible or it's too deadly to spar stuff which just puts off everybody including me who loves traditional martial arts regardless of efficiency. Maybe this is my irrationality but I suspect that maybe TaiChi could work well if they had a stronger emphasis on sparring. I did hear from Ramsey Dewey that it was a grappling art with codified grappling movements. I'd be interested in seeing a Taichi practitioner who spars a lot fight, just to see if the movement is unique or still resembles kickboxing or normal grappling. If it doesn't then is the intention of those movements to teach abstract principles rather than direct movement? Sorry for anyone reading this, I needed to vent, which requires a long comment.

Oh thanks for translating by the way I think I saw this on another chanel but there were no subtitles. Kinda funny how he says he does not want to say it publicly but he tells it to the interviewer who would release it publicly 😁.

0:38 why is he talking about a left hook? It was a right cross that knocked him out...

I don't think he wants to belive he was posioned, i think he needs to belive he was posioned. The man spend many years of his live practicing his art to become a master, only to find out it meant nothing. Its awful when you find out its all a lie.

Definitely please do more translations, I get a kick out of listening to their excuses.

You should ask: Ok Sr. do you want a revenge?

The only thing that I imagine that "poisoned" the Tai Chi guy, was his own confidence. My guess is, he went into the fight thinking he was going to win, and that it wouldn't be difficult, and each time the MMA fighter successfully struck him, it would have essentially taken away the Tai Chi guy's confidence, and made his already terrible fighting technique, even worse.

Yes please do the full translation of the interview! Ma Baoguo is a joke and he can't stop because he's got a reputation to still fake for his "friends". It's sad to see older men like him let their egos go unchecked for so long that they start believing their own BS lol

This is why I like Qi La La. Unlike other "masters" whenever he loses he does not make lame excuses. Instead he uses this experience to improve himself.

He shouldn't have had that tea before the fight. Classic misstep.

He believes that he was poisoned just like I believe I'll be as flexible as Jean Claude Van Damme one day 😆🤣😂😄😊🙂🥲😔... maybe one day 🥺. Thank you for sharing ☺️.

Then have a rematch

Interviewer was doing like 🤦🏻😒 Ma was doing like 🤕🤪🤡🥴🧠

In my utmost humble opinion. “ Nothing more dangerous than the illusion of self delusion” “ Everything is plausible in the land of make believe, one must never be a citizen there” If not only to critically observe those who are residents there, from a safe distance. “ Wisdom equates to correct comprehended knowledge appropriately applied” Sincere regards. Fellow Martial Artist. Tom Framnes. Norway.

He could absolutely have perceived Xu's punches as super slow due to fear. This is extremely common and is your memory warping the time. So this tells us he has never been in a actual fight in his life and was scared shitless. I'm not even joking, the everything moves slower is caused by fear, stress and other stimuli, its actually not moving slower but your memory of it remembers it slower.

These Tai chi masters must be teaching their students how to come up with excuses before teaching them Tai chi.

The fact that we're in the flat screen era and he's got a fat TV sitting on the table should tell you all you need to know

Non-fighter martial artist loses to fighter "Someone must have poisoned my Qi!"

Nobody put ether on him. It's called FEAR. What I can't figure out is WHO are these jokers and WHY are they accepting these challenges? Most are old guys who shouldn't be competing anyway! WHY are they always backing off and playing defensive? None of them have a snowball's chance in hell with those tactics. And none of them ever use the skills their art is meant to be famous for. So WHAT does that mean? It means they are not masters representing these skills.

So now he’s accusing a guy who beat him in a fist fight of poisoning him. He’s better hope that fighter doesn’t come back for a second helping. Some men don’t like being accused like that.

The ego on this guy

The interviewer was trying not to laugh.

A good question, does he believe what he's saying? He entered the match, so I would think that he actually believed in his abilities at the time, and it seems natural to be confused by his performance. I'm guessing he does actually believe that he was poisoned somehow.

He never saw the left hook coming because he was busy being transported to the shadow realm by the right hook

Yes more translations of this interview

The delusion is strong with this one 🤦‍♂️

The poison was in the tea he had right before the fight. He almost died. 😂

I watched the whole interview. The reporter was pinching his cheeks the whole time so he couldn’t end up laughing out loud

He believes what he's saying just as much as he believed that he could beat the other guy

Ya except Hua Yuan Jia was undefeated (before the poison) and fought many deaths match where he had to sign his life away. This guy fought his very first match, against an opponent with gloves....and a ref.

Someone should intersplice Smoky from Friday into the fight video. 😂

Wang Zhanjun uses taichi and can fight. Show his fights please in chinese television. He also has student Han Feilong who take part in k1. I give you really very good content.

Master Ma Baoguo is VERY BRAVE. This old man agreed to a one-on-one with a fighter who, just on observation of each fighter: 1. Was clearly better conditioned than him (Excluding Ma Baoguo's internal organs. At least they were, stronger before the fight.). 2. Was much younger than him. At the time of the fight, Xu Xiaodong was 39 years old, and Mao Baoguo was 69 years old. At some point in his life Xu Xiaodong held a Beijing Sanshou Championship title. Xu's Martial Arts record throughout his life is very impressive. Ma Baoguo was 69 years old. I see BRAVERY in that. COURAGE... That old man actually went in there to fight a guy 30 years younger than him. He must have some true love for his Tai Chi and Traditional Chinese Martial Arts if he is willing to fight a fighter with the nickname "Maddog". To me, what really look bad was NOT his LOSS. That fight was BRAVERY, with BALLS OF STEEL. It was the excuses and other things Ma Baoguo stated AFTER the loss that breaks my heart...

He didn't remember the friends he made along the way

To be fair, George Foreman thought he was poisoned during his fight with Muhammed Ali in Zaire.

Xu knew what he had to do, and told everyone what he was gonna do, then he came and did it... Just like he said he would do... This is "End To End Discipline" by Xu Xiaodong!!!

That’s an adrenaline dump That’s what a lack of fighting experience will do to a ‘master’ .

He was defeated because his rhythm was not for real fights. His opponent's movement were short and direct.

That's another scary thing about traditional martial arts, it can feed your ego so much and turn it into a monster, a grandiose view of a god like figure when in fact you have gone no where on practical training.

I think someone poisons me twice a week at BJJ.

- I was poisoned - do you have proof? - no - I see..........

Bruv I would love you to translate the interview fully. Please do!

It proved that punch he took even damaged his brat.. lol poor master

He is not a Taiji master. If he were, he would not have stepped into someone else's home turf.

It was me who poisoned him. Lol

His son called the cops? Really? He obviously knew that his stupid father would get embarrassed.

Yes ... More please....

At this level, I would believe he believes he could beat Godzilla

The only poison he ingested was the Kool-Aid he was drinking.

It must have been the first time that he experienced fight/flight response .l😂. Then from the safety of his normal routine he filled the gaps of what happened (felts his punches weak couldnt react ) with this hilarious excuse to not get his ego destroyed. I believe he reallly believes it !

His next loss will be due to Jupiter being in alignment with Mars, that's his kryptonite.

When he says he wad poisoned it made me think of those kungfu movies where the master is always poisoned🤣🤣🤣🤣

I am 100% sure, he truly believes his own lies.

There are people who would believe in everything just to protect his self-esteem.

Thé name of the poison is called Pressure Test 😉

Generally I don't need to see any more delusional material but this short bit was hilarious I do feel we need more.

WHY DID I MISS THIS!!?

Master Ma Baoguo said "Why was his super slow left hook able to hit me?". Well, let's try to analyze that... How does he react to "Super Slow" movements? Well, how has he BEEN reacting to "Super Slow" movements? SUPER SLOWLY. And so, there you go... He REACTED SUPER SLOW. That's all he know! Makes up most of what he know about reacting to a SUPER SLOW BLOW. I wish every time I had to "Throw" (as in go blow-for-blow) I saw attacks coming at me SUPER SLOW because I don't practice REACTING SLOW. I learned that hard lesson a LONG TIME AGO.

Poision and punching to the head have similiar symptoms. Its just funny that he felt dizzy from the poison right after the first blow.🤔

He watched the movie Fearless way too many times to think ppl are poisoning him to make him lose. XD

No he let a smile slip through when he said he was poisoned. That is a fruedian slip

This shit is sad to see. There’s a lot of delusion here on the part of the Tai Chi master. Not that this would change a thing, but I’d like to see better age matching in these fights though.

Reminds me a bit of Charlie Zelenoff. You can't know for sure if he truly believes in his abilities or not. But at least this guy won't try to sucker punch his adversaries.

Poor old man doesn’t need to be risking his health or reputation. All it would take is one hit or fall at his age.

Tia Chi is Not trained for MMA combat period!

Oh here we go with the vibrating palm theory lol

Please translate the Ma Baoguo technique tutorial videos where he rambles on alot and shows some crazy moves. I genuinely want to know what purpose those moves have in his mind.

Poisoned, I knew it! That's why I suck at life, I've been poisoned dammit!

I mean... most people misunderstand Tai Chi Chuan. Sometimes to the world's benefit. But knowing its actual historical origins and uses make charlatans like this even harder to tolerate.

That "Master" old man! If he would have said that I would have happy😂

There are no medicine for stupidity.

Not many people can face their shadow. Internally there is conflict. He really had deluded himself into thinking he would win the fight. But then it did not go his way. He is so overwhelmed by this delusion being broken, that part of him genuinely suspects foul play. But another part of him knows this is not true, that he has been lying to himself. So he chooses not to focus or face that. He is very much aware of this game he plays, but he will never look at the game or acknowledge it, he will always avoid it. Because addressing it, would again be facing his shadow and admitting the truth. He likely hasn't been super vocal about this, because he knows it is not true, so that is why he only tells family or friends - He is looking to reaffirm the lie he is telling himself in others. Each time we see our false image reflected by those around us, we move a further degree from the truth.

See, the problem is that China has been caught up in so many decades perhaps centuries of this theatre martial art that they’re left disappointed every time they get defeated, blaming themselves for losing the fight RATHER THAN looking closely at the style of ‘fighting’ and acknowledging that it is a meditative movement rather than meant for combat. And this is why mostly older people do this rather than youngsters.

He not is tai chi maester. the video title is wrong

Yes I Want more

I have always tried to be an optimist and hope that these people are just lying for the showmanship of it. They can't ACTUALLY believe this crap. Then I watched the energy shield guy fighting on his knees vs a professional fighter. After that, I think they believe but they believe it so hard that the reason for their failure has to come from somewhere other than, this crap I've been dedicating my life to is a sham.

I think he really believes it. ^^
