Link: Classical Tai Chi in a fight ...Not
and here's all the Link: speculation why "not" and the speculation is way off the mark
From Master Stephen Hwa: "Now if you know Tai Chi like in the fight between Wu Gong Yi and the other guy, Chan Hak Fu. Now both sides know each other's art very well. Now, I'm sure they both developed a strategy to counteract the other guy's strength. Now the other guy, if you watch the video (click here for LINK). Now I know (pointing to Jim Roach) you watched it many times, you find (the other guy an "external" White Crane martial art) changed the way he moved. In other words, he doesn't use momentum, body momentum at all. He knows the Tai Chi is really good to counteract momentum, body momentum. Body momentum, that is what Tai Chi is really good at. And he just chopped away, just using his arms, so there is no body momentum...remember that? There was just a flurry of arms without any body momentum. Certainly, in that way, he cannot develop all the power and so forth. At least he tried to avoid being thrown by the Tai Chi. In that case, Wu Gong Yi is not using Tai Chi, you cannot blame him, because the guy is not using body momentum.
So at that time (and even today on Youtube) people are saying how come Wu is not using Tai Chi? So he is not using Tai Chi and so everytime, he has to block. So he is using this (side of the hand) and hitting him (on the arms) and after awhile. So after a while, the guys' arms got tired because the muscle got hit. So he, himself, goes in and hit his nose (he walked into Wu's blocks and his nose started bleeding profusely). You cannot blame Wu for not using Tai Chi because the other guy does not use body momentum (he moves, I move, if he does not move, I do not move). So the guy did this with his arms and Wu did this to block him, block his chops. One of his hands he cannot raise or something." It is to be noted that in subsequent interviews Chan Hak Fu talked about the soreness of his arms and difficulty in moving them after the fight.
