I wonder what would happen if a Chinese master like Longfei stepped into the octagon with the toughest/best UFC fighters?

[Hypertiger]

The secret is that speed is a double edged sword that kills.

like the visible finite duality or fantasy of exponential growth or Yang and exponential decay or Yin powered by the invisible singularity of reality or infinity.

Starts out very slow of from nothing and increases to infinity or something.

The objective ultimately is not to use the needle of reality to pop the bubble of fantasy but to place the needle of fantasy in the right place in time and space that bubble of fantasy is going to be at in the future and it will just fly foolishly into the needle and commit suicide or pop itself.

That is what awaits the ignorant of Truth at the logical conclusion or defeat of the reasonable assumption of victory.

You all are basically standing around like practice dummies with death wishes begging to be fulfilled

I can easily climb out of the mud brick pits and grab the tax masters whip from their hands and lash their mind with a cat of nine tales a 1000 times in a second and then place the whip back into their hands and watch them disintegrate like a sand castle fighting a tsunami.

If they refuse to take NO for an answer of course and demand their death wishes to be fulfilled....demand their cherished delusions to be shattered.

I will supply their ignorant demands at some point if they refuse to find easier prey feast on.

Masters do go looking for trouble and do not exist to entertain the ignorant masses with demonstrations of idiocy for monkey chow.

Longfei reminds me of my tai chi teacher ,who was chinese guy who escaped the communists by sailing away on his fishing boat.

This is how they act and its a huge part of the culture(not that everyone does it) and highly respected.

When I started learning you find that we are very stiff in our arms and everywhere with resistance .

After sometime things loosen and a person starts moving according to their inner energy and there can be no tension for this too happen.

By becoming one with our internal or energy self a person can have incredible speed and use this flexibility to ones advantage.

The kick boxers ect would be very slow as they are muscled up and tense when fighting Longfei and nothing would be touching him basically.Longfei is working from his inner strengths as opposed to outer strengths.

Carry the sword in your heart?

Ephesians 6:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
Psalms 119:11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.

I would still pay to see it. There has to be videos of this sort of thing.

HU'S A TREASURE: Tai Chi master and documentary subject Loo-Chi Hu is a reluctant film star some call a living treasure.



When Loo-Chi Hu left China in 1948, he did not think it would be for ever.
However, 60 years later, 83-year-old Hu considers himself more Kiwi than Chinese.
Hu's life, which has seen him rescue stricken sailors and become a world authority on tai chi, is the subject of a documentary at this year's International Film Festival.
The Christchurch man is a reluctant film star.
"I actually I don't like it. Why should I publish myself?" said Hu at his Phillipstown home.
Hu left China in 1948 and travelled to Taiwan to work in the fishing industry. While Hu was away, Mao Zedong came to power in China and his father advised him to stay away.
It was not until 1995 that Hu was able to return.
In 1970, Hu helped rescue Norwegian adventurer Thor Heyerdahl during his crossing from Morocco to Barbados in a ship built from reeds.
"In Barbados they cannot find it. Lost," said Hu.
"So United Nations asked me to go and help them. There was nobody else. Looking for the boat lost on the ocean is very difficult. I know they came from Morocco so I know where they are from and where they end, and so I searched between them."
Hu located Heyerdahl after four days and three nightsand guided him into Bridgetown.
After settling in New Zealand in the early 1970s, Hu designed commercial equipment for the then Marine Department. As a ship master, he worked on navigation and fishing gear for the New Zealand fishing industry.
Hu's expertise in fishing was only one string to his bow.
He has been teaching tai chi in Christchurch since 1971. In 1988, his pupils established the New Zealand National Tai Chi Chuan Association.
"Tai chi is not just a physical exercise, it is a mental exercise," said Hu.
"Before I learned tai chi, I learned the hard martial art and with the hard martial art your behaviour is hot and you sometimes fight with people. My father advised me to practise tai chi, and since I have never got in a fight."
In 2003, he released a DVD teaching people how to practise the art. He still has a 6am tai chi session every day and teaches students in a shed next to his house.
The documentary, called Huloo, Hu's nickname, features interviews with Hu and people he has influenced.
Wellington-based director and co-producer Robin Greenberg is a former tai chi student of Hu's.
"I hope people will find it as interesting and amazing, as I have," said Greenberg. "His life and career have been extraordinary. I feel he is a living treasure."
The film will screen at the New Zealand International Film Festival in Wellington and Christchurch in mid-July.

Sorry about your teacher, you have been honoured.

Those videos are good, I still want to see MMA VS Kung Fu Or other variants. I am not big into the stuff but would like a comparison of what direction I should send my son to. Me, myself have enough artillery to fend off a small nation.

Well this video in the OP the started on inner stuff first.

Tai chi is very varied and the one we did was called the yang style 108

By studying something like tai chi first is best because it is more difficult to go from martial arts to tai chi. Harder to relax.

Take our arms for instance ,we can flex make a fist ect but notice the arm becomes like a board,inflexible, rigid.

By loosening up we can use our arms in other ways with natural flow and movement which may appear slow but its not much harder to do it fast.

Tai chi gives a person a way of moving and standing that can be extended into developing a persons own style and playing around with your own kung fu . Being balanced with the whole body is never forgotten.

By controlling ourselves there becomes no need to fight, and is for defense only.




No need to do this and a waste of energy.
