    WRESTLING did, but CACC did not - thats the point I was making :)

    I was using that clip to point out that Taiji is not the oldest MA style in the world.

    I think you are misunderstanding what he is saying. He's referring to the origin of the Taoist concept of Taiji, not the martial art of that name.

    (If he really does think that the MA is thousands of years old then he's sorely mistaken!)

    The concept of non-polar (wuji) and yet supreme polarity (taiji) is from the work of Zhou Dunyi (1017-1073), Taiji Tushuo. Translation is available in the Internet. The term wuji in Yi Jing means infinite number, so it is possible to generate an infinite number from the yin yang binary. The postulation of Zhou Dunyi is very different, and most writers of Taijiquan sort of adopted this view but it does not work in practice.

    He claims it is the oldets martial arts system in the world and uses the I Ching to justify that position - which is clearly garbage, but sadly not as uncommon as it should be

    You know nothing about I Ching, I Ching related to military content, since human being began to fight in war, the marital art techniques was inside the war with soldiers' fighting ability. So, Tai Chi theory of I Ching is the original basic fighting knowledge of the war. I am not wrong to say Tai Chi theory is ancient oldest martial arts theory. And if there was the theory, there must be the actions of the theory.

    I know PLENTY about the I-Ching son - I use it regularly.

    Your assessment is utterly wrong and the less said about your views on Tai chi the better. Are you making this up as you go along or something?

    It's a divination methodology that later became a philosophical treatise as well. Leaving aside the more prosaic aspects it allows for certain levels of introspection and opens up thought channels and processes
