All those Tai Chi master crushing it in the UFC

the technique is to stop the kick at the knee level, so it won't hurt, with the master moves out of the line of attack to dodge the kick so the kick will have no power. if you try to stop the kick at foot or leg level it will surely hurt. The common mistake is when somebody try to side kick you like this muaythai kick, you move backward, but by doing so you put yourself within the range of the opponent's kicking leg or foot, which has maximum power of the kick. You can do two things: move sideways and dodge the kick as the master shows, or you move forward as near as possible to the opponent and attack the centerline of the opponent while the opponent is kicking you, like in bajiquan. when the opponent attacks, you ram forward! don't mind the kicking leg of the opponent if you can move fast or you are already near the opponent, because only his extended knee or thigh that will hit you, which has no power and won't cause damage. Our natural tendency when somebody kicks is to move away from the range of kick. it's normal. But in real kungfu, you are taught and trained to change this natural tendency through long and continuous practice, to move forward and attack while the opponent is kicking you.

A real Muay Thai fighter would make you taste them elbows real quick after blocking his kick .

Might be good if it just about handling 1 single kick. But a fight is not just about 1 or 2 technique.

[MiLiEl]

This is not a thai kick... Could be a taekwondo kick, only for marking.
A real thai kick couldn't be stopped like that, would move the guy much more...
This is a 💩of acting...

[remyedmonds]

Now round kick and cross straight after the kick.. his hands will be down by your leg and have a open chin. Amateurs 😂

[rodgerhempfing]

Don't mention Muay Thai and Tai Chi in the same sentence. It makes the whole thing even more ridiculous.
