I couldn't post a reply for some reason on the tread, but in reasponce to that topic. I have studyed the martial arts for a long time but just started Chen Tai Ji Chuan 3 mounths now. In my school they do a lot of free style push hands. It is like a cross between judo and sumo. You can throw sweep and shuve. I like this becouse you spar the way you practice with your style. There are tourniments you can enter to test your skills and everything. To me this is the equivalent to bjj's rolling. What is the point of joining a Tai Ji school and puting on boxing gloves and boxing or kickboxing? You would be beter of joining a boxing gym. I trained at Renzo Gracie's school for 6 mounths and never saw them box or kickbox they rolled.
