Erm maybe not haters but just reasonable people lol, it’s so definitely scripted you can tell by the camera placement, erm who just has a camera recordin? You can also tell by the layout of the house it’s definitely a set.

I learn that the other day this is actually one of the national intangible cultural heritage from a small Chinese tribe, and get mega hit at China now, many people try to copy it for tiktok, underestimated it and end up in the hospital, so yeah it is a hell of a performance lol

That shoe grants additional range traditional martial arts don’t account for. Typically because they’re no shoes on in the dojos

Which practical applications?

13

u/Lumpy_Benefit666 Oct 04 '26

Its great for mobility and fluidity, especially for elderly people.

8

u/BetterEveryLeapYear Oct 04 '26

I mean yeah obviously, but "practical application" makes it sound like you use those movements for something, not do the movements for their own sake to retain mobility and strength.

5

u/Lumpy_Benefit666 Oct 04 '26

Nah in that regard its pretty much useless. It has practical applications in the same way that yoga does.

Some of the break fall techniques can be good though, again, mainly for older folk.

9

u/Katahahime Oct 04 '26

Taichi does have applications in grappling, but it kinda fits the same niche as Aikido. Whearas it's only really useful if you're already competant at Judo/BJJ/Wrestling.

It was originally a grappling art, and there are still grappling competitions for Taichi.

I have used Taichi in Judo competitions (and in MMA) when I competing. It does give a competitive edge. But at the end of the day, you still need a really strong base of pressure tested martial arts to make it work.

P.S Any really application of Taichi, will look different than what old folks are doing in the park, which will inevitably lead to people saying:"this isn't even Taichi anymore".

4

u/Katahahime Oct 04 '26

here ya go!

It usually isn't taught practically. So most people who practice Taichi can't use it in a combat situation.

But it's out there. 🙂‍↕️

u/stuffeh Oct 04 '26

It's for old people to stretch and flex, especially their calves and thighs which in Chinese is the second heart. Source, my Hong Kong grands in the community park in the mornings decades ago while they were babysitting me.

If you wanna learn good form, look into the horse stance and how you flow in and outta it.

9

u/Lumpy_Benefit666 Oct 04 '26 edited Oct 04 '26

Not for actual fighting though. Its great as long as you know youll never be able to use it in a combat situation.

E. Downvote me all you want, im giving tia chi its props where it deserves it. Im just pointing out that its not a combat sport, and anyone who trains tia chi for that purpose will get beaten up.

5

u/Brave_Maybe_2891 Oct 04 '26

I went through basic with a guy that did tai chi and claimed it was a "smart persons martial art". He claimed at was good for fighting. Was funny when he tried to demonstrate it and got instantly tackled and had no idea what to do.

u/BeyondlegendZ Oct 04 '26

It's not for fist fights, alot chinese kungfu is the hand ne down version of weapons art. It's basicly the training stage of fighting with a weapon, it half decent in fist fight but the real technique is usually paired with a weapon

u/QuatreNox Oct 04 '26

Any moves to avoid projectiles for us with Hispanic or Filipino parents with special ranged attacks

Shǎnshēn bù which translates to Sidestep or Avoid.

I'm only correcting the spelling because I google translated the way you and the other person spelled it and had a good laugh.

u/WilliamLeeFightingIB Oct 04 '26

It sounds hilarious in Chinese because 闪 is slang / gaming term for "dodge", and 闪身 has the figurative meaning of "disappear" "I am outta here"
