Here, we break down two martial arts style on style matches out of China. Each match has a MMA fighter vs a Tai Chi fighter (or representative?). The Tai Chi representatives are of varying abilities. Let's analyze and learn some lessons from these amazingly unique matches. The first Tai Chi guy is Zheng Quan (郑权), and his opponent is 阮超 (Ruan Chao aka Nguyên Chao). The second Tai Chi guy we actually discovered in 2022 is Zhu Chun Ping (朱春平) and his opponent the mma guy is Yu Qiusheng. There's a lot of insights from style on style matchups. Remember, learn to spar, and spend a lot of time learning ground defense and grappling. More to come!
