Old video of Tai Chi fight

[charyuop]

Sorry if this was already posted and sorry also coz I cannot provide the name of the fighters not the styles involved. This is an old video, quality kinda poor, of a match Tai Chi Vs Wrestling...by what I gather won by the Tai Chi fighter (I would call him Master, but not sure if he is one...maybe XS can recognize him ;P ).

 

[Xue Sheng]

I don't recognize either.

Kinda hard to tell who is who if you ask me.

I think this is the footage of Master Huang, the famous White Crane master from Malaysia who later became a student of Cheng Man Ching.

The two guy's family names as given on the Youtube blurb are Hwang (黃性&#36066 and Liao (廖廣&#25104. Yeah, like TaijiTJ mentioned, this--if I am remembering right--was one of the "big showdowns" in Malaysia. I think Robert Smith mentions this fight in Masters and Methods.

Most of these kind of "historic fights" are, for a variety of reasons, utterly inconclusive.

take care,
