KFW, did you really think that taijiquan guys never move their feet or move around to a person's side?

I agree. The Taiji Quan forms pretty much highlight foot movement.
Here's a 2 man fighting set

I tend to think of Wing Chun as having more restricted foot work in comparison to other martial arts.

By the way, in your video, black shirt is fighting very badly. His weight is back, and his front leg is out ahead of his punch, inviting you to sweep it. In other words, the part of his body closest to you is not a weapon, but a target. Bad.

The guy in the black shirt is doing the right thing for the training. The guy in the shorts is the one with the bad structure and sweep technique. Not everyone is good at a sweep and more goes into a sweep than just kicking the leg.

Oops.

lol.. stop. I wasn't saying it as a bad thing just a noting the differences. The WC guys here are sensitive. lol

I'm talking about "circle running". You move around your opponent in a circle and he is the center of that circle.

Here is an example. Within 14 seconds, both guys made 2 complete 360 degree circle rotation.

Sounds more like something out of Bagua than Tai Chi.

I have to keep moving in circle around my opponent. I also don't think this "moving around" is a Taiji answer.

I had described the "circle running - keep moving in circle around my opponent" but I used the term "moving around" instead. I didn't know this can upset so many Taiji guys.

The WC guys here are sensitive. lol

The Taiji guys here are also "sensitive".

 

[Xue Sheng]

Not sensitive, just felt the need to correct a misconception...

I think I'll take up the lute.

How well does it play with the cow demographic?

 

[Xue Sheng]

How well does it play with the cow demographic?

Yeah...you have a point there.... your right....dang.... need to take up the lute....but not jstu any lute...the Chinese lute..aka the Pipa

 

[Tony Dismukes]

How well does it play with the cow demographic?

Pretty well, I'd say.

 

[Xue Sheng]

Pretty well, I'd say.

Yeah, try that without the water between him and the cows, then we'll see how well it works

Yup, and it pretty much appears to live up to the Chinese idiom duìniútánqín...so, I guess my Didge and me are good to go

Are you guys seriously talking about musical instruments and cows in a thread called BS and the internal arts?

Well, I don't know if "seriously" is the right word...
