A few other guys were watching
a teacher of taijiquan. Never had I witnessed such deceptive power. He
performed the art with enormous dignity and force, and I realised I was
seeing something which, although I could not understand, I had to respect.
Mr Wang was at least fifty, and probably older. His power was fantastic.
I once asked Nakayama if he thought karate was the best of the unarmed fighting arts. He answered that he thought it was. In that case, I countered, what about taijiquan? Nakayama sensei laughed, and with a smile he said, "For human beings, karate is the best way. But there are some men who are superhuman, and perhaps a few of the taijiquan sensei are just that."
