Tai Chi Sifu vs MMA Guys At Tai Chi Push Hands (Fixed Step)

Did we finally find someone who understands Tai Chi? Here's Sifu Nico Alsup of 5 Elements Fitness in a fixed step Tai Chi push hands tournament. I picked these two matches because they show the difference in movement between a Tai Chi trained person and a standard MMA trained person. It is really cool watching how Nicholas Alsup moves in this push hands context! The first match was against Lainel Briones, a former MMA fighter and current brown belt in Jiu Jitsu. The second match was against Jason Bukich, a former MMA fighter and black belt in Jiu Jitsu. Yes, the footpads do have issues, and it's something I've told Jan and Jason about, so in the future if there are any more of these tournaments, that issue will hopefully be fixed (along with the use of raised footpads). Also, sometimes Sifu Nico goes by Sifu Niko, so you guys might find more videos of him by that name.
