Watch this clip to watch the Chen Style Competition shown on a certain China TV channel. The guy with the red belt is Wang Zhanjun (王战军), son of Wang Xian and he emerged as the final champion. For those who think that taiji fighting involves light and non contact repelling force will be surprised. There is a lot of throws, kicking and shoulder strikes in the matches.
But if you ask me, some of the fight scenes look similar to WWF scenes.

For non-speakers of Chinese, perhaps you could illustrate which of the various buttons we are supposed to press in order to see the video you describe. All I can see are ads for some cartoony thing and cell phones or music players. No push hands.
hmm it should be embedded as a youtuble like window in my post. All you need to do it to press the Play icon (Triangle)
make sure you have the Flash player plugin installed. Otherwise go to the original page:

It works just like youtube.
The reason it looks like WWF is that it’s fixed. These are “fighting” bouts that are planned out before hand. One of the foreigners training baguazhang in Beijing had some people from his group “fight” on the show. They trained for one month together in order to get the timing of the moves right and insure it was a good show.
Sorry if that spoils the fun.
hi, no worries abt spoiling the fun.
Some of the moves were just too slick for a real fight.
Ridiculous, even WWF is 10000 times better than it.
It is becouse Tai ji Quan is quoted like a YAhhhh-fight and not more respect will be for it.
It is a shame
Tks for showed it BTW.
Is a good blog.
thanks for visiting and leaving a comment. It would be interesting to see how chen taiji or the whole of taiji scene develop as China open up.
