Re: Chen Bing Clip

A bit of background on the grappler (attacker)-posted by his teacher on a ICMA forum. Again note it was still only a demo.

all,
I see most are enjoying the clip. For those asking about the background of the attacker. He is my student for the past 6 years in Chen Taiji and has an extensive background prior to Taiji. He was 1st place winner in the PA wrestling championships for 2 years in a row and took 2nd in Nationals. He also won the PA sambo comp.One of his main wrestling teachers was Olympic Gold winner Dave Schultz (RIP). Since training with me, he has worked as an Imminent threat specialist and bodyguard for many notable people, including: Lennox Lewis, Chris Tucker, Sean (Diddy) Combs, Saudi Royal Family. Mike also has about 80 pounds on Chen, Bing.

During the workshop we had a couple pro MMA fighters join in training. BY day 2, two of the guys didn't show because we trained too hard for them, They said they could not walk from the soreness in the legs.One of the others started as a non-believer and by the end of the day was amazed that Taiji was so applicable. Chen, Bing spent 2 days covering conditioning and applications. Basically he showed how the Chen guys prepare for competition and condition themselves
