I missed the chi dookie, but I must say, I hope that I get to run into that foot dragging technique one day so I can stomp my foot on someone's balls, lol.
Some of the clips I guess are titled as the name of the techniques....one is hentai ebi geri (perverted shrimp shit)...hentai means pervert or more commonly known as those crazy sex cartoons
after further googling i have found that Taido is the martial art of the 21st century! I guess it is an amalgamation of many japanese styles brought to gether for modern society to use. Not for sport like many Karate Styles have become.....uh wasn't aikido created for this same purpose? I do like some of the techiniques but this Tai do still needs further investigation before I feel it is worthwhile...for...me to study even further.
tai most likely comes from the chinese word, which i think means heaven, or something along those lines, do, means the art of.
just because you dont see push hands, or ward off, doesnt mean that they dont use internal principles. but thats just my view.
i just looks internal to me.
Well this is a japanese martial art...yeah japanese is influenced by chinese but the character for Tai in Taido and the character for Tai in tai chi are different.
Tai for tai chi means (most english translations are) supreme (tai chi chuan is supreme ultimate fist).
Tai in Tai do means this:
Tai in japanese is made up of 2 characters SHIN and TAI
Shin means to be concentrated and to keep one's mind calm (Kind of like MuShin)
Tai means the base for movements, action, and activity. Tai can also be pronounced as Karada which means body
If one combines Shin and Tai one will be able to master one's mind and body.
Do in taido means "the way" (most of us know what that is if not look it up)
Thusly TaiDo means "the way for the body and mind"
All that info is from this site www.taido.net which is also linked below
It doesn't look internal at all at least in the way taichi and xing yi are. Somewhere on this site it explains the idea of changing the body's axis to attack and the internal part of this martial art seems to be the breathing and the KIAI. I wish I had a black belt in KIAI......
