Why people said Tai Chi fights like kickboxing?

Ah-so. There you go. I haven't seen them yet.

Comments from the peanut gallery?

Actually we were taught that take down as an application from the 24 form.

Do you have any footage to counter the whole "looks like kickboxing" argument?

Yes I do. I've posted quite a few clips at EF showing some basic tjq solo-training that's practiced in my school. Then I posted a clip from one of my MMA matches showing how a lot of those solo drills can be applied. Most people pretended not to notice. I was told by some idiots over there that it was low-level tkd, that they couldn't see any tjq, etc.

People see what they wanna see. All I presumed to show with that clip was a few possibilities of how the solo training can manifest. The clip showed exactly the same movement that's contained in the solo drills I posted clips of.

I have lots of comp footage of myself and training partners, and we look like the worst 'kickboxers' in the world. LOL But after that fiasco, I can't be bothered anymore.
