The jab was added to the CMA sometime in the early 20th century after a bunch of border skirmishes with the Russians.
You sure about that? :pQuote:
CMA are training methods, not fighting methods. Big difference.
Yup. You can train in Tai Chi and Shuai Chiao and BJJ and boxing. Are you going to pick and choose what you use in a fight?
Let the semantical arguing begin.
What if you only train in Tai Chi? Mixing styles does just that---it mixes everything up.
Put peanut butter, ice cream, and milk in a blender, and you have no choice but to drink the milkshake. Don't put them in the blender, and you can choose to eat any of them individually.
If you're in a fight, and your opponent is standing there dazed, are you NOT gonna haul back and crack him as hard as you can because it's not proper Taiji body mechanic?Quote:

Of course not - hauling back might give him the time to shake it off. Go in for the kill with short range power, homes!

The point being that if you are trained to fight in one style, you are more than likely going to fight that way. If you mix a bunch of stuff up, then it will look like whatever it looks like.Quote:

Why wouldn't a Taiji player hit someone? The Yang style has punches, and I don't see why using them would necessarily contradict your training.Quote:

What if the punch isn't in Yang style? Are you gonna not use it?Quote:

My handwork is currently: Jab, Pi, Beng, Hook, Overhand right. I don't think about which one is boxing and which one is Xing Yi. I'm going to start elbow work soon (I hope) I doubt I'll be worried which is Muay Thai and which is Kun Tao. Please see my sig for more.
