Thus, it is always courageous to publicly present yourself as the odd exception, imo.

That's true. Maybe he should make some videos using the local MT guys. I think that would be impressive and draw even more students.

You are right about the skill level
Not many tai chi people would go well with a half trained boxer
Tai chi is a self defence art and not a ring sport
It is not designed to go up against a high level sportsman
It works how it is designed
It has worked for me and with boxers
So I know it has its value

What groups have you met that train the way you are talking about
actually I think Wu Tunan made that distinction -Taichigong/Taijiquan....Anyway “Taijiqong” is crucial to transform ones eventual fighting practice into any “taijiquan”,...it’s so crucial I would say that taijigong is Taijiquan. I like to make the distinction of (tai) chi gung and tai chi chuan. 99.9% of people do chi gung. The problem is when it's disguised as tai chi chuan where it is only "trained" in closed groups doing moves that are nonsense.
