I'm just used to reading books with giant pictures.

I did not watch that fight but if namajunas was defeated by superior wrestling of her opponent, that only shows that she needs to improve her own wrestling and counter wrestling and that her boxing game needs to be adapted and integrated with anti take down defence to be able to better fight a more skilled wrestler. In other words combatively adapt to meet the combative challenge of an opponent and thus to improve.
It is also ironic you use this example of wrestling given that wrestlers obtain their great physical endurance and skill from not just drilling but continuous live sparring on the mat.
We don't really approach it that way.Yes judo does impart self discipline and resilience but only of it actually works combatively. Otherwise it is no better than learning lightsaber combat - good exercise but utterly fantastical and fictitious in nature.
And judo works combatively because it is trained with combative elements in mind in the form of its randori which is the reason why judo succeeded at the expense of traditional jujitsu that had neglected randori. This is not my interpretation- this is what judoka themselves assert.
Yeah, I was like an invading virus that triggered a sh*t storm of antibodies... why I logged out.I am sorry for that. I do think however that a reply to a post should be written as carefully and respectfully as one can, which I have tried to do above.
I dont think that was ment for you. Kung fu is deep into my heart and soul. So keep posting.
But you need a better filter. A filter to knowing what posters and persons you dont need to listen to. Or answer to.
Trying to discuss anything serious with stanclaker is a waste of your time and energy.

I started doing Taichi as part of my PT/ recovery.
I had a great teacher, did lots of exercises specific to my knee, and then practical application work, Actually more of that then form work.
Many of the principles transfer nicely to other martial arts, boxing, and practical applications.
Look better then your muay thai.
It was a family style. Sort of an offshoot of Yang.Which style of tai chi were you taking?
According to who?Show me a wing chum stylist executing a side kick and I'll show you pigs that fly. It is not part of their curriculum. They have these meaningless check kicks and crescent waist kicks that won't do shit long range. Wing chun is a mid to close range art.
Long range= does not compute.
tai chi will teach you body control and balance, perhaps fluidity as well. within every martial art, if you look hard enough, there is something that is beneficial and applicable to fighting
