Wei Lei (TAI CHI MASTER) got knocked the fuck out by an MMA fighter

>MMA
>Western
Just look at that guy.

>>75948547
I'm talking about the fighting style

The Chinks are really butthurt:
>Update: A Chinese multi-millionaire has put up a $1m bounty to defend the dignity of traditional martial arts. Numerous other kung fu experts have challenged Xu Xiadong, including "Shaolin Monk" Yi Long, aka the greatest fighter that ever lived.

>Tai Chi
Isn't that more like stress relief rather than an actual fighting style? Why the fuck would this Tai Chi Master even agree to the fight unless it wasn't staged?

you do know bruce lee exposed "traditional" martial nonsense back in the 60s. He knew that all this fancy animal foodwork was just bullshit and focused going back to the basics by combining hand to hand with wrestling and kicks. he isnt loaded father of mma without a reason.
> inb4 he never fought professionally
there were no all rounded martial arts competition back in the days

tai chi is 1 martial art

MMA is Many Martial Arts

therefore mma is mathematically proven to be the strongest fighting style

>>75948530
>superior Western fighting style
some nice WE WUZing going on in this thread.

>>75950428
Tai Chi is for old people and hippies, it's not a martial art.

The MMA guy in the video has had his website taken down and is getting death threats. Watch him agree to some state-sponsored fight and "lose", then apologize for daring to mock the ancient and powerful chinese art of delusional yoga.

>>75948547
Yes, it started with a Brazilian fighting style

you just know that the tai chi guy knew he had 0% chance, but had to do it anyway.

>>75950450
Well MMA is essentially boxing and wrestling as they're the most effective.
Everything else you just need to learn how to defend against

>implying boxing and wrestling is a "western" invention

>boxing
The earliest known depiction of boxing comes from aSumerianreliefin Iraq from the 3rd millennium BCELater depictions from the 2nd millennium BC are found in reliefs from theMesopotamiannations ofAssyriaandBabylonia, and inHittiteart fromAsia Minor. The earliest evidence for fist fighting with any kind of gloves can be found onMinoanCrete(c.1650–1400 BCE), and onSardinia, if we consider theboxing statuesof Prama mountains (c. 2000–1000 BC).
Boxing was most prevalent in North Africa in 4000 BC and inAncient Greeceboxing was a well developed sport and enjoyed consistent popularity.

>wrestling
Wrestling as a type ofmock combatanddisplay behaviouramong males has anthropological roots, and is also seen in non-humanGreat Apes. Its documented history however necessarily begins with the history of pictorial representations. Cave paintings in theBayankhongor ProvinceofMongoliadating back to Neolithic age of 7000 BC show grappling of two naked men and surrounded by crowds. In theAncient Near East, forms ofbelt wrestlingwere popular from earliest times. A carving on a stone slabe showing three pairs of wrestlers was dated to around 3000 BC. A castBronzefigurine,(perhaps the base of avase) has been found atKhafajiinIraqthat shows two figures in a wrestling hold that dates to around 2600 BC. The statue is one of the earliest depictions of sport and is housed in theNational Museum of Iraq.

>>75950982
The tai chi guy and the mma guy had been talking back and forth online about it. The mma guy basically said that tai chi isn't a real martial art, and the tai chi guy decided to challenge him to a fight. I still have no idea what he was thinking.

>>75948530
I bet Chinese government is mad

>>75951174
>literally 1v1 irl faggot

>>75951188
Extremely mad. The Chinese government is calling it a "violation of the morals of martial arts". And now the Chinese Wushu Association is challenging this MMA guy lol. First guy to beat him gets 1 million yuan

i dont think
CHIMPING OUT is a martial art

>>>/asp/

>>75951209
>The Chinese government is calling it a "violation of the morals of martial arts".
source? tai-chi is not even the main form of martial art in china. its more like yoga then anything if it would have been kung fu or wushu then I would understand all the rage but tai chi is not even rated in China

>>75948530
stop this tai chi meme

>In the last twenty years or so, t‘ai-chi classes that purely emphasise health have become popular in hospitals, clinics, as well as community and senior centres. This has occurred as the baby boomers generation has aged and the art's reputation as a low-stress training method for seniors has become better known.

>>75948555
>I'm talking about the fighting style
a fighting style that originates from brasil and imported it's base elements from japan

>>75951209
lol basically putting a hit out on him due to butthurt

>>75951046
Yes and basketball is Aztec because they had a vague notion of putting balls through hoops.
Modern boxing and wrestling are entirely western products and you know it.

>>75948642
>clearly hasn't seen Man of Tai Chi

>>75951585
Yeah I feel bad for the kid, he's not even a top level MMA fighter either.
Let the best three king fu practitioners face Demian Maia, Wonderboy and Woodley.
I'd personallly offer the king fu boys 10 mil if any one of them can beat all three

This is a pretty good article that covers a lot of it.

>Wei also made comments after fight, stating that the only reason he lost to Xu was because he was showing mercy and refraining from using his ‘internal strength.’ Wei reportedly said he feared Xu would be killed, had he used his full array of skills.

>After brutally dispatching Wei, Xu told the onlookers that the fight wasn’t competitive and that Tai Chi was a ‘sham.’ According to ejinisght this prompted a number of Tai Chi masters to circle Xu and challenge him to a rematch. Reportedly, Xu ended up calling police after the Tai Chi proponents continued to argue with him for around half an hour. Later Xu turned to Chinese social media platform Weibo to double-down on his criticism of Tai Chi, stating that traditional martial arts styles were ‘a lie’ and that they had no use in actual combat or self defense.

>The Straits Times states that Xu also posted an open challenge to martial artists to prove him wrong. On Weibo, Xu stated that he would take on any and all traditional martial artists in a no rules contest (including kicks to the groin and eye pokes). Xu also said he would pay 1.2 million yuan ($174,000) to anyone who beats him.

Interesting stuff desu. Will be interesting to see how it goes. It's sort of sad to see stuff like this though

It's literally current year, there is no need to entertain this argument anymore. A multi-disciplined practitioner beats a single-disciplined practitioner in multi-disciplined contest everytime. The unspecialized multi-disciplined practitioner loses to the specialized single-disciplined practitioner guy every time.

Jeet Kune Do. Blend the fundamentals of everything.

There are tiers to disciplines though. Tai-Chi is lower on the tier because it can't carry itself in multi-disciplined combat as well as higher tier disciplines like boxing or wrestling.

It's a bit silly for anyone to claim either boxing or wrestling. Various styles are the products of different cultures, but both go back too far to be claimed by anyone.

You forget about brazilian jinjutsu, this is the most prevalent form of grappling in MMA. Many view it as essential for an MMA fighter

what do you mean? boxing would be the one you looking for but if you're talking about a open fight with no rules besides hiting groin and eyes then mma is the only solution. in a boxing match floyd might be able to play around with mcgregor but in an all out battle mcgregor would murder him.
being dependant on just one fighting style is risky. if you're a boxer and you up against someone who is good in grappling he just needs to dislocate your shit and you're done. you dont have to master everything but knowing how to defend in all fields is a must

I think it's pretty clear that Kung Fu, Tai Chi or whatever other martial art of that type that is more focus in fancy movements than in effectively has nothing to so agains Muay Thai, MMA, etc.

>>75962466
Isn't Bruce Lee famous for being a pioneer of MMA, though? Mixing together traditional martial arts styles to create something actually useful?
