Taijiquan (tai chi chuan if you use the antiquated Wade Giles spelling) literally means the highest form of unarmed combat. But most tai chi practitioners today don’t know how to fight at all. Can you reverse engineer functional combat ready taijiquan from today’s live combat sports like wrestling, judo, BJJ, and Muay Thai?
