Love Ryu's sound effects in the background, but.. shotguns later? That seemed odd, but almost fitting at the same time.

I must admit I've only done tai chi for 4 years so I supose your right in that respect. I`ll tell you I`d much rather go up against an external martial artist than some ba gua aikido or tai chi master. But you are right every attack can be blocked. still though check out the link I posted earlyer. it`s totaly awsome.

I hate to break it to you all, but there is no "Most effective martial art" in the world.
I highly doubt any of you who claims, "OMG MY STYLE KICKS MORE BUTT" are even really take a form of martial arts - and if you do, I bet you've just started.
Every move has a counter. Every strike has a block. Every block can be a strike. Martial arts isn`t about "kick butt," it`s about expressing yourself.
Tai Chi, kungfu sage, is a great style for honing the body. The fluid, slow motions of the katas alone will condition a body greatly. However, no, it`s not the most effective form of martial arts.
Honestly, I think those that are arguing who could kick whose butt because their form is "higher" than another should be ashamed of themselves.
