Rather can some people who do tai chi fight in contests
Just like can some people who do tai chi play soccer
Yes they can
But no matter how much you say it is an example of tai chi it could be an example of any other art
Just by doing a demo of the form and saying this is what I am doing here means little
I could take a rugby match pick out a tackle show brush knee and say look he is using brush knee here

I have an idea we will get a bunch of traditional guys who just do forms and put them up against a bunch of combat sports athletes who just do sport and we could even get a representative from each style put them in a ring and see who wins. Oh no, a cage! Oh I know, an octagon!
