Xu Xiaodong Challenges to Kung Fu

[Jimbo]

Well, I hope whoever takes up the challenge from now on is young enough, has actual fighting experience, and comes actually prepared for a fight and not just push hands demos and playing hands with awed students. I can imagine a lot of Taiji masters who've never had any full-contact fighting experience, watching the fight video and thinking he would be an easy opponent to exploit with his forward momentum. I really hope they don't fall into the trap of their own BS: "When he rushes me with punches like that, I'll just use my '4 ounces to repel his thousand pounds' attack."

I'm hoping the next challenge will have a different outcome, but I'm not too optimistic.
