Applications never have to look exactly like the form.

Where are the taiji players using it?
One might call it brush knee, its not what the people in the clip call it.
One might call it anything depending on ones view point and they'ed be correct.
Some might even argue about it as here. Where are the taiji players using brush knee?
Everyone can agree on what a boxing upper cut, or right cross as shown by "boxers" is.
There would be no argument about what it was or how it was used.
Why is taiji so different?
of course there are teachers and schools that teach taiji that are different.

True but they should reflect what is trained, which in this teaches case is what they train and do.
Very good apps, with training that supports

Any correct expression of them is fine. In fact, since no two opponents may attack the same way, one might have to create a new expression that fulfills the immediate need. I.e., if one's tcc is limited to the forms and specific applications, one's ability to respond is also limited.
