This is a playlist of specific videos that I have posted on youtube over the years. This particular playlist includes videos which showcase particular concepts, techniques, tactics, strategies, training methods, and pedagogy dealing with combative aspects of tai chi and related martial arts.
The students in these videos come from varied backgrounds. Some are students or teachers of other martial arts. Others are beginners.
Some are students are not primary interested in fighting. For them, the martial aspect is a window into their own mind, and other aspects of the art.
