Video: Tai Chi beats MMA inside Chinese shopping mall

A few days back we brought you news of Xu Xiaodong using MMA to beat-up yet another traditional martial artist (this time it was a tai chi practitioner who quit after one punch to the face). Xu may have started this current trend of style vs. style fights in China, but now it’s grown far beyond him.

Today we have another style vs style fight and, again, it pits MMA versus tai chi—or at least that’s what the promoter claimed. This time Xu is nowhere to be found. Instead we have a couple of nameless shmoes fighting it out inside a shopping mall.
