Karate and tai chi chuan

[dwarf2]

In 1956 and 57 tai chi was changed by the sports committee in china and only what the government allowed was taught and those people who learned this now teach. Before this time the form was taught as being the grand ultimate fist now it is health . Yang lu chan was a great fighter and he took on all comers and never lost according to what is known about him. He didn't win by pushing them down , he used the form on them and this is how he ended up training the military. If i trained your troops and it took them 10 years to be good at fighting then how long would you wait for results , but if in say 3 months i could get you good at fighting then which would be worth more? I'm not going to say i know it all because i don't ,but if you do the moves in the long form to someone it will do great harm to them.
