Just to give you guys the characters: 谷 That’s master gǔ‘s surname. 谷师傅, as you would say in Chinese. Master Gu actually did come out with a reflection on his performance, so I will translate it soon. Also, for those of you wondering why Xu didn’t take on the Master himself, Xu needs surgery to fix one of his arms, so Xu cannot really exert too much force right now. In fact, I forgot to translate this, but part of the reason Xu was able to get the Master to show up was he put up some money. He basically told Master Gu: if you can beat a student of mine, you get 100,000 RMB of money. So Xu basically put up the money he was saving for his arm surgery to get the Master to show up. Also, I have a followup video coming soon. The more I look at both Master Gu's social media, the more I see fascinating content to explain and analyze. Stay tuned!

If someone was rocked from a punch, forget it. It’s 100% mental and emotional after that. The feeling is you don’t know if you’re gonna survive or not. In reality, people do. It’s just the mental challenge of feeling your brain vibrating is scary.

Credit to the boxer for going easy i see others I think go to hard and that’s the training, boxers are like dogs I was taught the old school way I teach a little different I wouldn’t let any of my fighters go in and blast that old Man U get no credit for ko someone weaker that’s what I teach.

I get the feeling he was told not to hurt the guy by Xu. Xu has to be very careful lest the CCP disappear him x(

I'm a Hung Sing Choy Lee Fut guy, that was already fighting prior to learning kung fu. My father and older brother were black and brown belts in karate. So i grew up on knowing martial arts as early as i can walk. So, when I first joined my teachers school, i knew how to fight and they were shocked because i was in there sparring them on the first day. But, looking like this older guy, you can see he never had a real fight in his life and he's only going on the notion that tai chi works, theoretically. but you can see, this guy has no guard, doesn't know how to move around, not dodging or evading. if you're going to take your martial art into the fighting realms, one, you need to know how to fight first. two, make sure your basic punches, blocks and kicks are up to par. three, SPAR. Spar light, spar heavy, and spar often. This is why i make my own students do and is the reason why we did well on our very first ever match in the Muay Thai community.

Questionning his martial art is more painful that taking punches, that's why he keeps going

This was a middle school boxing match.

glad to see xu xiadong is still active and helping people to sort out the truth about martial arts

Who in God’s name is delusional enough to make a claim like that?!

I've never seen any of those ''masters'' display the ''mastery'' of their styles even in demonstration. Why do we call them masters? To make videos more catchy and viral? The quality of the defeated gives meaning to the victory. Where's the quality? If I show up and claim to be a master will I be on the next video? Why is there never any evidence of the lineage, the schools where they teach, the credentials, videos of demonstrations etc?

Thanks for sharing. Xu is such a good guy.

If Jake Paul will train in TaiChi, he can beat Iron Mike.

It looks like the younger guy was taking it easy for a while, then opened up on the tai chi guy.

That "master" doesn't even know to tuck his chin when he takes a fall? Would have been smooth knocked out on a sidewalk or street from that head contact to the ground.

MMA literally blends wrestling, kickboxing and eberything else that actually works.

The problem with most of these traditional martial artist is they practice mostly forms and pretend to hit each other. They rarely train where somebody hits them with full force.

If this is how a Tai Chi “master” fights, just imagine how a Tai Chi regular Joe fights!

All of Taichi vs MMA fights prove one thing: the patriotism of Chinese matrial artists. Although they had seen how MMA beat the traditional MA, but they are still just coming. Stuborn yes, but also brave. Let we see how it will be in the future.

Respect to Tai Chi Master. He got balls to come in and test himself.

The fact he was in there with a boxer and stood any chance still says alot. The man ate a lot of good punches and gave back some of his own. Not everyone can say that. And he gets back up. I'm still impressed with this old man.

I just comment occasionally as participation I'm not making any claims one way or another.. I have heard it said that boxing styles vary from one country to another I remember tyson was going to fight one of the English champions of the day and tyson commented harshly as a fighter would as he's readying for his match that the English style was inferior or far old school as it compared to his style.. In this case I would say that this boxer could easily avoid that long guard with upper body movement while striking to the body and above in combinations that long guard should be of no consequence / oh and tyson did win the fight mentioned / Credit to anyone with training who is willing to professionally test their skills not every master is great just like not every fighter is great, and even that said sometimes luck is a factor aka murphy's law in this video case the boxer out matched the tai chi guy // Tyson vs Paul IF there are no behind the scenes agreements tyson could ko paul in round 1 if he's not running fast enough!! I would be shocked and suspicious if rd 4 is called . paul can Not take a punch from tyson

In boxing I have seen work outs in which one guy wasn't allowed to use his hands he could only use upper body movement to avoid punches, so if a trainer never teaches this that person will get hit allot. This applies to anything in any style.. / I was asked in the past if I was a trainer, no I am not I have taken lessons for a few yrs in boxing and 3 MA not ground fighting however.

Evil idea... 🤣 You want to ruin people peace 🤣

this was great! My teaching in Shanghai was always interested in how modern fighting and bagua or tai chi would do against each other. I think what has been lost is the practical application of these arts. they have turned it into a dance and have forgotten how to apply the pieces in a fight, and have lost timing all together. I hope more masters explore this. relearn it. this master was brave and dedicated to getting in there and explore and be willing to find out what he doesn't know, what doesn't work. now go back and rethink it. play with it, adjust, and try again.

Taichi man watched all ip man movies and got so pumped he forgot how to punch.

The master wanted a concussion, he got it.

People are clowning but guys...This Tai Chi master showed great compassion and restraint by not using his internal Chi powers which would have permanently injured or even killed his young less wise opponent. It was clear from the beginning that the master realized that an exhibition fight, clearly for no reason other than ego gratification, was not a place to truly unleash his power on a defenseless and foolish young man. Instead he wisely and bravely chose to take a beating himself rather than cause irreparable harm to a weaker man. He also knows that if western people ever saw the true power of internal MA that they would begin demanding to be taught these dangerous techniques and that well, we in the west just aren't ready for it. Better to let them mock what they aren't ready to understand than to unleash a bunch of barbarians trained in the art of chi on an already suffering world.

A Tai Chi master is supposed to be wise for letting someone beat him up? Not very wise or compassionate to himself. The wisest thing would have been to not let rip on the internet with ego driven claims about being able to beat other people. Then you don’t get in an escalating situation where you might have to use your Chi death ray.and take someone’s life. Shaolin monks trained to defend life , not egos.
