Tom wrote:One of the curious things about Zheng taijiquan's teaching is that Zheng did not like to let the partner or opponent make contact with his torso. Now, in one sense that is practical--you want to try to keep space. But ultimately it's unrealistic--a heavy hitter or skilled grappler is going to come through and get your body. Zheng's curriculum and Zheng himself never really taught how to deal with the close-in grappling and takedowns. Royce would have choked Zheng out.
