Tai Chi,good self-defense art or not?

[BoarSpear]

All of which targeted the secret dim mak points of super-duper deadly-ish-ness that only the ancient masters who now dwell in the gardens of the celestial palace know.

Your stupidity is breath-taking.

yeah yeah, try to ignore the historical fact the very first National full contact matches held involving Taiji and Baqua were STOPPED in the middle due to numerous deaths and injuries. Id say that proved it TOO deadly for a sporting event, even to people in china in 1928, so yeah its a safe bet its too damn dangerous for spike tv's next ufc reality show

suck it up and admit you practice the same SD art as every other WWE fan jubaji...We know the TMA's wont work because youre gonna hulk out on 'em little buddy

yeah except jubaji doesnt know enough to discuss anything in more than ten words. Its very easy to simply sit back and throw stones when you wont/cant back up your nonsense...why expect more of him now?

Ai-ya

Damn, you are stupid. Almost every kind of fighting and/or sporting event is more highly regulated today than in the past in countries all over the world. Standards for how public events of all kinds are organized and controlled change over time. YOU choose to tie this into your little boy comic book fantasies and schizophrenic tendency toward conspiracy and come up with ever-more laughable ways to murder logic (you are too deadly in that sense, for sure!). YOU make a mockery of TMA and YOU are to blame for any denigration it suffers.

[jubaji]

We know the TMA's wont work

YOU are the only one who keeps saying that, and YOU are the only one who seems determined to make people believe it.

No one is forcing you to say stupid things.

Like i said. JR has nothing of substance, just more shit to throw Proof he has nothing to contribute

Hit him with historical fact and he wants to twist the words...

He's making a really good argument somewhere in there (hidden amongst unnecessary insults) that just because something is regulated, doesn't mean it's more deadly than, say, other arts.

Honestly. I think you two just need universal translator devices.

[jubaji]

don't stuff yourself on 'stupid' all at once

Hit him with historical fact and he wants to twist the words...

Oooh! Just don't hit me in the secret dim mak point!

Has anyone here disputed any historical facts? Your comic book boy conclusions are what are in dispute. I hate to break it to you, but you make a mockery of what you claim to support. YOU are to blame for any bashing TMAs take. Maybe that's what you want. Maybe you thrive on the role of 'TMA supporter against all those nasty critics' so much that you say ridiculous things just to make sure you still have something to work with.

regulation, like speed limits, seat belts, guards on football helmets to prevent neck injuries, cribs that the bars are too far apart...all regulated along with your food and medicine..why? to protect those involved the regulation you speak of was done to protect the particpants, not to make it agreeable to the spectators.

the rules IE: no strikes to the throat, no eye gouges, no fish hooks etc... those regulations are for SAFETY...if you cant understand that maybe you should stop taking those boxing punches to the head.

"Regulating" a martial art so its less likely to harm your opponent is about the dumbest fucking idea in the history of the world.

but it makes it possible for people to spar without dying as often...

I dunno. I always feel bad when I accidentally hit my training partners across the face with escrima sticks, even if it is their fault for not blocking properly. It does make me kind of happy I'm not using the tire irons, though. Ditto with training knives versus real knives... can think of many more examples.

I'm still not sure what exactly makes taiji so much more lethal than other arts than can only be practiced with regulation...

blabber on hulkster the tourney was stopped in the middle due to multiple deaths and injuries...those regulations you like to blabber about were the SAFETY net. they removed the techniques likely to kill or injure people, then you have a sport the masses can learn in schools and watch for entertainment. today if you practice the safe sport, thats exactly what you're doing. The things you can get away with when the defenses to it that will stop you DEAD are removed so the SPORT can flourish at the expense of the MARTIAL art.

no one said it was more lethal than another TMA, just that it isnt safe for sporting events, and if you practice it to compete in a sporting event you took it from SD to sport, you didnt improve it, you killed it.

you can SPAR easily and safely, just dont fajin the strike out...however in an actual attack if you want to injure the person you fajin instead.

Oooh! Just don't hit me in the secret dim mak point!

speaking of stupidity So superman, you dont have the same nerves, arteries and sensory organs as the rest of the planet? I guess Brewers right. you're just a squishy wet fart with no substance.

The dimmak points arent secret, they are the same points accupuncturist use everyday (with some exceptions considered too deadly to needle.)

There isnt anything bullshit about a point on the body where nerves are exposed to strikes, there isnt anything BS about CNS stuns either, unless of course you are an MMA athlete and it doesnt exist in your world because the sports you practice outlaw unsportsmanlike conduct in the same breath they swear its a no holds barred reality martial arts contest
