How's your Taiji? Got a video we could comment on? Because I know Master Shi De Shan is not anonymously trashing on other people's Taiji videos on YouTube and comparing them to the Chen family's...
You're right...he might be an excellent fighter and might be able to apply the techniques in real situations. When I compare him to the Chen family, his performance was not only boring, it was also unbalanced at times and it seems like he was thinking of what movement was next on more than one occasion. I have studied Tai Chi for many years and personally know practitioners at the highest level. Maybe I should have said that I was not impressed with his form.
