For our monks out there : Tai Chi Grandmasters Push Hands

This stuff is pretty bunk. You notice it's always demonstrated on students. Watch the No Reservations Korea episode... every other martial artist demo that AB goes to invites him to take part... these guys only offer a choreographed demo. Bunk. Youtube comments going "OMG, it's about efficiency of movement... blahblahblah" need to take an elementary physics course. The funniest part is how they all run backwards for ten feet pretending they are trying to catch their balance, yet none of them ever catch their balance... since we are to expect that they are familiar with what is happening, anyone with any brains would simply fall immediately rather than pushing backwards and creating greater impact on their fall. They don't do this, thus it's obviously an act.

Sorry if this disappoints anyone who believes in this Dragon-ball-z nonsense.

AB puts it best when he ponders whether they are acting and really believe he's dumb enough to buy it or if he simply misunderstands and they are demonstrating an admitted act of what they believe "could" be possible.

(referencing the old guy video, not the grappling throws, which are pretty simple stuff common to all forms of h2h combat... as for video #2... the guy is in socks on a waxed floor... martial arts has very little to do with what's happening there.)

It would be impressive if it were done on someone who was unaware of this "technique"
It's not exclusively korean and has many people claiming similar effect, with equally disappointing demonstrations.


Seriously, if it were real, would the world not be utterly in shock and awe over this? Would you make crappy youtube videos with your friends or would you hold public demonstrations for major news channels?
