That’s an interesting statement; would you care to elaborate? I guess you’re not saying “it isn't Taijiquan” because of the demonstrated technique itself, but rather because of the body mechanics and/or strategy and/or whatever. So what’s your objection? Is it the feet-to-hands wave mechanic that you see as being part of White Crane and not compatible with Taijiquan? Or other things?
