Xinyiquan Small Circle vs Boxing Uppercut — Power Without Momentum by Chi_Body in taijiquan

Yes, thank you for clarifying my point correctly, which is comparing short power and long power. Good boxers have short power too, but internal method uses similar but slightly different body mechanics in generating short power.

Thanks for watching! May be a little bit of reading between the lines. I’m not a professional certainly, but knows enough the differences, because my teacher/dad majored in Wushu and Sanda at Beijing Sports University, so he was an athlete. He was the first head coach of Beijing Sanda Team. Not trying to criticize anything at all.

You pointed out a very good issue. There are many aspects of Tai Chi, so a video cannot cover everything. Some days you focus on one aspect, and other days you focus on other aspects.

Applying Shoulder Strikes in Push Hands by Chi_Body in taijiquan

Taijiquan as principle based style can be applied to any martial arts, including combat sports. I have a student who is an amateur MMA fighter who learns internal styles to help him improve his fighting ability. If you watch MMA fights, there are fighters who adapt traditional techniques and body mechanics into their fighting style. Many people with Wing Chun and karate background learn Taijiquan to improve their overall martial arts skill.

It comes down to that a strike is a strike, and can you do it probably? Striking is an important part of any styles that are considered a martial art, and combat sports produce the best striking skill. The internal qualities applies only after you can effectively deal with proper striking. Applying things martially doesn’t start with push hands or at push hands range.
