These concepts that are best felt and so are hard to describe and of course practitioners often have their own ad hoc language to describe which is totally fine when it is consistent with itself and is natural for exploring new things we do not have words for yet. Over time this language will develop too and have its own ad hoc forms too but will also be able to be translated into science and its language. I think Mark and many other practitioners, teacher/students are doing well as pioneers and should continue developing their skills in all ways as they are doing.

That's great for demonstration if somebody's cooperating with you. Grappling with somebody that is non compliant is a different story all together. Have you ever tested your techniques against a non-cooperative? I would be interested to know. In my humble opinion, and experience over the years, I have never experienced a person cooperating with me unless we are doing it as a demonstration of technique rather than a combat scenario. Just asking

It’s the resistance that makes any kind of grappling work. It’s when the other person STOPS resisting that you run into problems. Just watch MMA, Bjj, or college wrestling. All those guys are totally relaxed for that reason.

Within 30 seconds I can tell this guy is actually hear to teach a lesson, unlike Mizner who is there to look cool or wise.

This demonstration is only true under the assumption that you fully control your opponent. Otherwise, your opponent could attack you if he feels your power.

Very interesting, with all respects to your knowledge, it reminds me the approach quite easily adopted when fighting a shorter opponent. The problem arises when facing a physically taller and basically stronger person. Common self defence practice is pressing the opponent´s from below and upward. And it works too, using body mechanics. How does fighting a taller and stronger persosn work at the Tai Chi levell? Paul, 68, retired instructor of Sport Karate

When taiji teachers use the term "stretch", what specifically are they describing?

@DragonIndigo 7 ай бұрын

Instead of muscle contraction more like the feeling of you trying to reach something in front of you. Stretching also by releasing, if someone press you then you convert that presion into a lightly stretch (inward stretch) and disipate the preassure inside. Once you get the fascia and tendon activation you start to play with energy. Sifu mark rasmus is amazing with this, taiji/bagua/xingyi... you can also find in daito ryu this kind of powers

I'm a life long martial artist, I have studied a fair few arts in my time just recently started doing Cheng style Tai Chi with some excellent instructors. My question, I have never experienced anything like this in the above video, can anyone tell me if they have experienced something like this, in other words.... Is it legit???

@THEMARTIALMAN Жыл бұрын

Yes, it's legit.

@TheDecdec9 Жыл бұрын

It is legit only if the partner plays his part and gives himself up to the other participant's actions. In terms of practicing energy it is a great exercise and has great health benefits. Relaxation and blood circulation is massively enhanced when performing these exercises correctly. But do not get confused with the fake representation that against an unwilling partner, that this type of physical control is possible. Someone trained or unwilling to give themselves up can not be thrown around with that little force and energy applied. Practioners preaching this take away from the beauty of real energy transference. There are martial applications that can be greatly enhanced from this kind of practice but when applied it does not look like this and is very forceful to look at.

@PracticeTaiji Жыл бұрын

It's legit. He's using a Taiji techinique known as "Na" (拿 ná), which means "to capture," "seize," or "to take [control]," ultimately redirecting and controlling an opponent's energy and movements through skillful manipulation and precise application of power. I've not touched hands with Sifu Ramus but I understand what he's teaching. While it's a drill, meaning the students here offer no deliberate changes of force, it's clear to me from the demonstration Ramus has reached the level of Na where he has full control of his partner throughout the exercise. Ramus connects to his partner/opponent, seizes the spine and joints, and thereby captures his entire body frame. At this point, even skilled practitioners cannot easily regain control. Even if an opponent changes in an attempt to regain control, Ramus (at his level) should be able to sense the change/s and follow without interruption to his own quality of engagement, meaning, he would maintain Na.

@@alexchen5811 It depends. Most martial techniques of any style fail to work in a real fight a certain percentage of the time. That's why we train, isn't it. Nevertheless, I've found this "technique," while difficult to learn proficiency, is pretty reliable.
