Unlike a MMA fighter, Taichi is not meant for actual combat but a means of seeking health and peace through movement.Street fighters often use the overwhelming tactics - be it punches or kicks, to gain the upper hand. I'm curious why a Taichi master would choose to issue such a challenge: surely it goes against the ethics of the art?
