I have taken Tai Chi Twon, Shaolin, Go Jo Rue, and Tang Su Do, and also Russian martial arts. I prefer Tai Chi Twon, and Shaolin, and Russian martial arts. I also prefer Russian martial arts because the Russians don't make anything elaborate. they are quick and to the point, and that is what you need in martial arts. What a lot of people don't realize is that martial arts does not mean a fighting art. Tai Chi Twon and Shaolin rely on a lot of breathing, and I think that this is very important. When you breath properly you prevent injuries, especially internal injuries. You also have more power. There is also Tai Chi Twon competition. I also would not advise anybody to call a Tai Chi Twon master or practitioner a pussy, because if you do, you will probably find yourself on the floor very fast, and you will be in a lot of pain. You don't need a lot of power to hurt someone and do some damage. In one Go Jo rue class that I took my instructor used me to show the rest of the class the proper placement for a snap kick. He kicked me with a snap kick very slowly in the middle of my left thigh. He barely touched me, and I collapsed. My leg from my toes up to my thigh went completely numb. I fell to the floor, and had to crawl to the side of the training area. I could not participate for the rest of the class. I couldn't stand up. It was as if my instructor literally put my leg to sleep. some people don't think that there is such a thing as dim mack, well there is. I think that is what I experienced here. I would actually take my left fist and hit my left thigh area several times. My leg would seem to start to wake up, only to fall back to sleep. After the class I had to limp out of the dojo. So please people, do not think that Go Jo Rue (which means soft then hard), Tai Chi Twon, and Shaolin are wimpy, because they are not.

If you look up the history of Asian martial arts you are likely to find that they developed first in what is now China , migrated throughout Asia , with each region selecting & developing the parts to git their needs . That's why parts Chinese martial arts can be found in ones developed in other parts of Asia. They, though distantly are all related . Look it up !

When I was training TKD, I studied some Tai Chi when I was 17 years old. I found Tai Chi accelerated all of my training as it improved my balanced from having to keep balance while moving slowly, instead of quick movements. I started practicing several TKD kicks slowly to improve my balance. Also helped with my thought processing of what I was doing. And once I switched to a freestyle, I found adding Tai Chi techniques improved my blocking and diverting the energy of the opponent's attack.

@@stevedallas6122 Its a bit more complicated than just that. When you do a movement slowly, you are forced under Strain, to develop strength all along the entire path of the movement. You also build up superconscious levels of awareness as well, as your mind is forced to "Listen" to every little detail, as it slowly unfolds. In addition to this, Tai Chi adds specialized deep breathing with the slow and relaxed movements. This causes the muscles and tissues, to develop in a different way. You get super-strong yet very elastic tendons, and tissue / muscles that hold more oxygen and have far increased levels of circulation paths. It makes for an Iron-Body effect, where as the body sort of expands with blood, forming a shielding effect... as well as some other attributes. (water does not compress) The slow movements can also form a Meditation state in the mind. If you do enough 1hr sessions, every other day... for like 3 to 6 months... your brain permanently changes. Meditation caused the brain to grow in connections and density (recently proven in before and after MRI brain-scans). Eventually you reach Quiet-Mind state, in which your mind is nearly or completely Silent. Free of distractions, permanently. Its one of the Greatest things you can do, to increase the quality of your life. It also allows you to learn new things, at like 3x the pace.

Sometimes it's easy to forget that all of these styles have something at their core that made them effective for the people who originally used them. I would argue that the biggest issue CMA has nowadays is that most of the instructors don't know how to actually fight with their art, having gone multiple generations without the need for the head instructor to actually fight. With an instructor who actually knows how to fight with the art they teach, or else with a solid grounding in fighting from practising an art like boxing, muay thai, or karate, it's going to be much simpler to find which parts work for you and how best to apply them. Tai chi chuan has unfortunately picked up a great deal of mysticism (and later pseudo-scientific concepts like chi being "bioelectricity") along the way, but originally it was a long fist style, quite similar to arts like karate and muay thai, with an added emphasis on dispersing and generating power using little used muscles in the body.

@@metalfan4u I'm the same way, with adapting moves from various martial arts to suit my needs; sort of that whole Jeet Kun Do mindset. Anyways, I had a friend years back who was into traditional Wing Chun, and he tried to show me a bit, but I found it was too boxy, close-up, and rigid to be used as a primary martial art. Like you said, applying the guards and breaks from it could certainly be beneficial, but I never found it as effective at defending as intended; I broke or slipped his guard pretty often just by baiting and then counter-attacking when he committed. What's your overall take on Wing Chun, and do you think someone focused on keeping an opponent at range would benefit much from that sort of grappling, or would more of a TKD approach be good enough?

Taijiquan was not really a grappling art. Although there are multiple wrist and arm locks aka qinna techniques. (My main style is Wu style and it seems to have more grappling techniques than I ever learned in Yang and Chen style.)If you are of the mindset that Chen style is the original style, then one of the most unique features is the striking power, fajing. As for sensitivity drills, in my opinion no art is better at this than taijiquan. I have done some wing chun and knew several wing chun students and teachers who also practiced taijiquan to improve their chi sao, sticky hands. I have also done a little BJJ and found my taijiquan helped a lot especially in the stand up portion. I always felt very comfortable that it would be quite difficult for most people to take me down from the standard gi wearing stand up positions. Not only does taijiquan train sensitivity through tui shou , pushing hands, but like all internal martial arts, there is a strong emphasis on holding one's root. Taijiquan is completely misunderstood by most because as it gained popularity it was diluted to be taught easily to the masses. If you can find a good taijiquan teacher, you will be very lucky and also, in my own case, quite mystified by the amazing things the human body can do when trained.

I suspect that the topic of Tai Chi in this video is unintentionally geared towards Wushu Performance instead of martial art. Historically and traditionally in the family lines of Taijiquan, people do not practice Changquan before learning Taijiquan. So, it's rather confusing how everything in this video is labeled as Changquan but called Tai Chi. They're not the same thing. I suspect the idea of learning Changquan before learning Tai Chi most likely comes from the Wushu Performance sector where their main objective is aesthetics at the cost of functionality. That's not a criticism or a mistake. That's intentional. They perform these flashy movements for aesthetics, and even the choreography are often non-traditional.

@@BFGalbraith74 A lot of those schools like to say "Kung Fu and Tai Chi". But, Taijiquan is a Chinese martial art, so the fact they felt the need to distinguish it probably means they only teach the non-martial Tai Chi - the health version which often a watered down version of Yang Style. People who actually train Taijiquan seriously as a martial art just practices Taijiquan. Although it's often treated as such, Taijiquan was never designed to be some kind of complementary art. Sadly, cross training with Taijiquan is often because that specific lineage of Taijiquan is historically broken. For example, there are lineages of Taijiquan where they import Judo and Sanda into it but brand it as Taijiquan as if it was there all along.

I’m a Boxer but I get so excited to see similarities in either technique or or approach of different martial arts, the Okinawan punches that you described we get taught to throw out punches the same way in boxing almost like a whip, releasing all your power at the and of the end of your fist for maximum impact, it’s so cool to see something like Taichi a martial art with so much history share similarities with my art and sport it’s just so cool!

Wow! Thanks for recommending so much!

Over 40 years ago, when I first started my martial arts journey, I attended a Shotokan Karate class under the auspices of the late great Hirokazu Kanazawa Sensei. Even back then he was very forward thinking and had started to practice Taijiquan, and encouraged all his instructors to include Taiji into their daily regimen. the softness fluidity and circular motions of Yang Taiji perfectly complemented the firm more linear Karate. As teens we all wanted to fight, but we were also encouraged to attend the taiji classes. Kanazawa Sensei was a very wise Master who is greatly missed.

Clear and fairness descriptive speech, open the eyes, love watching.

:D Oh hey! My edits on the Wiki for Tai Chi showed up on the video. That's cool.

Thanks for making these videos! I keep telling my fellow Shotokan practitioners about Tai Chi and how it actually compliments our art. Both arts can benefit from the other. I would love to see more cooperation between them.

A few great martial artists say that calligraphy is very similar to sword fighting and legwork with martial arts so that was a great observation.

I’m impressed you interviewed a wushu taijiquan athlete and went in depth about it. As well as putting in Changquan videos. Thank you for doing this. I practice wushu Taolu and BJJ myself. I really enjoy both. I find martial arts to be more than fighting. There is a external and internal parts of martial arts. Practicing the both forms and application of martial arts really helped me a lot in both ways.

Always good to have an open mind in learning something new

Liked and subscribed. Thank you for exploring into diffferent/dissimilar martial arts styles.

I have studied Tai Chi since 1971 and I have taught it since 1996. I have always been taught the Chuan version, that is the "fist" so my training has always incorporated the martial versions of this art. There is a lot to say. If, however, a person is not specifically taught the fight aspect of Tai Chi, their fighting will be useless and they will lose. In the end, and these days I have to only rely on my arms due to four knee surgeries over the years, but a good straight, a good hook, and a good upper cut along with feints, economy of movement, and strategic "listening", will go a long way in winning a match or in defending yourself. We also do push hands and the ol' school teaching is you learn one lesson after 1000 losses. That has been my reality. Shadow boxing is a must. Sparring is a must. No sparring = defeat. I was taught to do the form as if I had an opponent or opponents and to do push hands as if I had none. Very good training. Many Tai Chi people get all hung up on "chi" and think there is some magic that happens if a person does the form over and over again. If the form is done a lot, especially, for example, taking one hour to do the 108 at a low and wide stance, one will get flexibility, strength, power, and martial prowess. Many more aspects to this art, of course. I will be 69 in July and even after all my surgeries, including open heart surgery, I can still hold my own against opponents. One more thing: fighting for three minutes is forever. Most people have no clue about that and they have no training in conserving energy and not wasting it. Most people I have fought, run out of gas in less than a minute.

Great analysis!

Thanks for sharing. I recommend that you continue to practice Chang quan and tai chi. Not only will they improve your shotokan karate strikes, but your overall technique as well. In addition, you will see your kata and kumite in a whole new light. I know this from experience.

And Yang style seems to be the "gentle" style even among other tai chi styles. The martial aspects are more readily apparent in Wu and Chen style movements. One of the benefits of tai chi is that it refines your martial art movements to the nth degree, little ways to help with balance, energy, movement, posture. The finesse leads to a "first touch" that quickly develops complacency in the opponent (they think there's nothing there) who realizes that their defense was compromised, but that it's too late for a counter.

Dear Yusuke, thank you so much for this Tai Chi video. The benefits of Tai Chi, such as relaxing, deeper stances and most of all very fluid movements are very precious for a Karateka. It helped me so much in my Kata and Kumite. After Tai Chi lessons, my Karate changed totally. Before Taichi, my Kata movements were so stiff. But after 2 years of Tai Chi practice, my Shotokan style has changed in a very positive way. BTW I took also Wing Chun lessons for 10 years but that's another story..:).. My role model was always Hirokazu Kanazawa Sensei ( he took many years Tai Chi lessons) and of course Bruce Lee and Muhammad Ali. You should try classical Wing Chun and Western Boxing like Naka Sensei, if you want a much deeper understanding of Okinawan Karate styles like Uechi Ryu, Goju Ryu etc. and of course Shotokan.

Have you done a video on Baguazhang? Would love seeing you practice some as I'm imagining it's very different than Karate. Even the circular nature I think you'd find interesting! Love your channel :).

Very, very fine and precise explanation of the differences. I'm original from TKD, and be honored to practise some Kung Fu movements from a 10 Grade Temple Kung Fu Master. You 100% explained the " inject power", shoulder down and stance differences I've been told by him

Awesome thank you

Nice, learning about all these traditions is fun. Still waiting for the itf tkd kick video you promised tho.

I did Tai Chi for a few months, but the teacher and students were quite elderly (really about my age, but not athletic at all). The teacher used to say that they took almost all the “Martial” out of the “Art”. Their Kata was VERY long and quite confusing for me even though I have a lot of experience with Kata. I was finally getting the order of movements down when my wife and I started traveling to Texas every couple of weeks so I quit Tai Chi so I wouldn’t slow the class down. In San Luis Obispo, CA there is a female Tai Chi teacher who is VERY highly respected. I heard about her from a number of people so I watched her teach a class once. An older guy who trained with me in the ‘90s said that he had observed a very old Tai Chi teacher once demonstrate his punch and it was very effective.

Inami seems like a natural performer; I bet her competitive forms are great fun to watch. Daoist Gate is a great resource to check out Tai Chi as a martial art; they put up a video for applications that really focuses on the principles and fighting strategies.

There is a Huge difference between being a Teacher, and a MASTER. If someone can cook well, and teaches cooking... but is not "Chef", is he Fake? No. Is what he is teaching Fake? No. In fact, he could have went a Culinary Institute, and leaned everything needed to become a Chef... BUT... have never worked in a high level Restaurant Kitchen.. such as one of Gordon Ramsays establishments. If he tried to work in such a place... he would lack the experience of being under such timed pressure... and would easily start to make mistakes, and end up failing. But again.. that does not make him Fake... nor does it make what he knows Fake. He simply never hones his skills to Masterclass Levels of Performance. Most teachers today, are Not Masterclass level technicians. They are not fake... and what they offer is still typically of great value.. BUT.. do not expect them to actually do well in a real fight.. because they have never fully developed themselves to such a level. Another example... is in Attributes. Many people can throw a vertical fist punch, with perfect technique and form. But is there Lethal levels of power in that punch? A Masterclass level practitioner has developed this punch (and every other tech), to Lethal levels of power output. They have maximized Every attribute: Form, Speed, Accuracy, Power... in every movement, to the sheer extreme limits of what their bodies are capable of producing... AND, they can repeat this level of performance EVERY single time they execute, even when under extremely high stresses of heavy barefist combat. Finally, do not have Faith. Simply Learn, Master, and then Test. This is the way to know what works and what might be partially incorrect.. or outright fraudulent. Never blame the art immediately. Most failures are caused by poor execution, and misunderstandings of application. Take the time needed to make sure you are fully aware that you are not at fault, rather than the actual techniques. Its quite rare that something that survived 2000 yrs, and millions of man-hours of development + usage, was "Incorrect" / wrong..etc. (But, some teachers.. and or some art variations, might be teaching certain things incorrectly)

As long as we are clear about the goal of our training there is no problem. You seem to be right that Chang Quan is more an aesthetic performance art rather than a combat art. Nothing wrong as long as we are clear why we are performing it. It can however improve your flexibility and mobility and thus prepare the ground for harder combat oriented martial arts and eventually self- defence training!!

I would say that Tai chi can be implemented in Goju ryu easily, especially when doing Sanchin or Tensho kata since they are slow katas that focus on your breathing while moving. Even the beginning of Seiyunchin kata is slow and is in shiko dachi so it is like three meditating movement, something similar to Tai chi

Such a nice and respectful video. I teach tai chi for beginners, including a karateka or two, and we have some pretty interesting conversations about applications, similarities and differences. The main problem with most tai chi training, as I see it, isn't the content or the benefits for health, it's that most tai chi students don't do enough partner work or learn the self-defence applications. I'm lucky inasmuch as my teacher is an experienced martial artist and teaches with these things in mind, but imho we still don't do enough. All of the techniques are in there, it's just that the emphasis these days tends not to be martial.

Respect how you explore other styles. OSU!

Wow. The way this stretches and extends the range. Not to mention forces you to realign your center and strengthen other areas.

She’s a very technical teacher

love your videos! I love how you want to learn more from other teachings/styles. Now, when are you going to have the other martial arts practitioners come to you? That would be also awesome. If you already have, then I apologize.

2:55 I hated these kicking drills back then. Our shifu cross-trained both taolu and sanda. As a sanda trainee, I never thought that flexibility is needed but I was wrong. We were forced to perform splits before the kicking drills and I'm not flexible . The pain from the splits is magnified by performing these drills. However, the pain is worth it though but I hated it.

@@Stormtrooper--dx1xj Without pain? S - l - o - w - l - y. Also, use dynamic stretches, not static stretches. Sports medicine has found that, though static stretches increase flexibility, they also create scar tissue in your muscles which, when you stop stretching, makes you even less flexible than you were when you started. Dynamic stretches develop your flexibility with movement; bear in mind that, when athletes injure their muscles, it's not usually because they stretched too far but because their muscles didn't stretch fast enough. Another point is, don't bother developing more flexibility than you need for the kicks you're going to do.

Oh yeah... Longfist.... Great entry point for a karateka!

i like the fan yao. i'll keep working on it.

Longfist is awesome, especially if you get away from the competitive wushu stuff.

A great video. I have studied both arts.

Glad to see you got to try out changquan and taiji to follow up with your sanda experience, sensei. Not every wushu school has students learn changquan first then taiji. I myself practiced changquan for a long time before I started practicing taiji. Taiji actually has its own basics and combo that are very different from changquan, plus there are different styles of taiji with their own flavors. If you have the chance you should try nanquan; nanquan is Southern style and I'm sure you'll find similarities with karate.

The key to good fan yao is to lean forward as far as you can and look at one spot the whole time when you're spinning. It's very relaxing and decompressing for the upper body 😍

Great video, Do some pushing hands with a chen taiji master if you want to learn about the martial art.

This will also be helpful to Yusuke San to see that Taekwondo has similarity with Taichi.I don't know if it's related.But the concepts in this video we use them in Taekwondo.I can also see South Asian Arts parts too.Also Yoga, Kalaripayattu,Angampora etc..

I really enjoy tai chi it really helps with other martial arts

Maintaining a Long and straight posture is key in shotokan

3:16 Wow. To see a Tai Chi Practitioner doing those types of stretching Wushu kicks is impressive. I have never seen anyone in Tai Chi do this before. But you said she also does Changquan which is the chinese way of saying Long Fist and is one of the three types of Wushu competition (Changquan, Nanquan and Sanshou/Sanda (full contact sparring))

I'm liking this video. I used to practice Chen style Taichi with a teacher of mine who unfortunately has passed away, where that style of taichi was known for it's more martial roots. Btw, just a note, the quan pronunciation is actually pronounced with the "ch" sound, so changquan is pronounced chang(chuen). Like how the q in Qi is pronounced Chi.

Domo arrigato gozaimasu! Very interesting video. I started with Tai Chi Chuan (several styles, unarmed and armed), then Kickboxing (Tae Kwon Do/Boxing), a bit of Muay Thai and now Shotokan Karate and Kobudo. Every style has good parts which can/must be used to form a complete fighting style. Other parts might not work for fighting, but have important uses in muscle build up, stability, stretching, etc. There is no one single style on earth that is perfect. Anyone who tells you so has no understanding of martial arts whatsoever. In Tai Chi Chuan I found very good stances, techniques to destabilize the opponent and bone breaking techniques that were never taught in the other martial arts i studied. Learning Tai Chi Chuan was time well spent. Maybe I can still also learn a bit of Judo, wrestling or other grappling styles, to complement my knowledge. Excited to see whats next, more videos on this would be appreciated. And Inami San seems to be perfect as the ambassador of modern TCMA!

I have found between Jujitsu and Tai chi(animal frolics) it helps me with spatial awareness so I am in more controll when getting in position for throws.

"give me my beer and i'll show how real tai chi is practiced" - Sun Tzu to his wife

Nagano sensei, Inami shifu was demonstrating the wushu (bujitsu in Japanese and not tai chi warm ups) warm ups, including the stretching kicks. Many of the techniques, including the warm ups, are taken from traditional Chinese martial arts, but are now considered the contemporary Chinese martial arts, as wushu has combined many different styles of traditional Chinese martial arts into their different competitive (forms) divisions. For example, their Nan Quan (pronounced Nan Chuen, meaning Southern Fist) form is a combination of techniques from the traditional Hung Gar, Choy Lay Fut, and White Crane (gorilla fist techniques) styles (all considered southern styles) with a flashy jump side kick, which one lands on the side of the body to the ground. In the Hung Gar style, we do not jump up to do a flying side kick. Plus I haven't seen it in either the Choy Lay Fut or White Crane styles.

My style of Shuri-Ryu got its start when our founder, Navy boxing champion Robert A. Trias, was beaten in a boxing match by Tung Gee Hsiang. Hsiang was a Chinese missionary who had studied Shuri-Te with Choki Motobu, but also Xing Yi, Pakua, and Tai Chi. Xing Yi itself is known to be very eclectic, having blended many effective techniques from many different fighting styles from across China. I can see the influence of these internal styles in much of what Shuri-Ryu does. So, can Tai Chi be applied to karate? Yes, and some already are. I also studied kung fu San Soo, Kali, some Tai Chi with practical bunkai, and a bit of ninjutsu, some boxing, kickboxing, and wrestling. I should probably get around to adding Judo and BJJ at some point, but now I'm old and injured, so who knows, haha! Main point is that the sharing and merging of all these different styles and techniques leads to a very rewarding journey accross cultures and personal possibilities. It makes me very happy to see you and other karateka reaching into so many places to expand your experiences. Kampai!

I remember in the taekwondo vids you were gointo be introduce to the taekwondo kicks you release that vid?

I suggest you look into the differences between traditional tajiquan/gongfu and competition (form) based taiji/kungfu, which seems to have a lot in common with modern wushu. The traditonal way has a lot of depth to it, in a broad way but also in a martial way.

The pronunciation for Changquan is “Chang-chuan” the “q” in Chinese has a “ch” sound

長拳 is pinyin in Mandarin “Chang Quan”. If in Cantonese, it is “Cheung Kuen” May be “Chang-Chuan” is easier for English speaking persons but not understood by the mandarin or putonghua language speaking persons.

Excellent video, as always. Only one tiny point of note, the letter Q in Changquan is pronounced more like ch than g in Chinese. Hanyupiyin distinguishes between ch and q because there is a subtle difference between the two, but the q is close enough to ch since I don’t know how to explain the small difference

I think I will start incorporating more of Tai Chi practices in my training 🤔

Kungfu training = extension of Karate and Taekwondo. Super advanced stuff.

5:35 Ooof that long punching - and those long form kicks - it looks like long fist wushu to a slightly suspicious degree - like there's direct influence from chinese performance wushu. I would be worried about using the punch with any power because of hyper-extension of the elbow? BUT I could be missing something. But I will say this - all of what I am seeing here is so great for flexibility and balance, you'll move like a ninja-cat-thing if you do this a lot. Which is why even into old age it doesn't hurt to shoot for this kind of performance and I am thankful to some of my old wushu training I did in my 20's for it. :D But I have seen other styles of combat tai-chi that don't look quite as flashy. ANY kind of taichi teaches relaxation, balance, and control, and has a great kinesthetic benefit.

Thanks for including Chinese martial arts!

Fan Yao is a spinning back punch that Comes from the Y axe. Guys go watch Wushu, stop saying a technique dont Work, take risks and figure out how to apply a Wushu move in a real fight. Which is what I did in my hardcore sparrings and they Work. By the way, Karate forms are literally baji Quan, Xing Yi Quan and Nanquan mixed.
