With respect to tai chi, the yi lu routine does include the exact move shown in your crescent kick video, the one where they kick the hands in front. It is an inside crescent kick with the left leg to the right hand immediately followed by turning and then kicking both hands with an outside crescent kick. As a drill I was taught to do the exact same exercises shown in that video which is part of a short routine I call sick kicks; rising kick, inside crescent, outside crescent, cross-step kick (like ya tui gong), kick the hands kick (i call it zombie kicks) and back kick.
With respect to the Yang's tai chi, it is very clear from the bio of Yang Lu-Chan that he removed the most difficult moves, and especially any kind of jumping kick from the form.
