Combat Taiji ...*clip*

I would be interested to see what others here think of this clip ... personally I found the practitioners spirit refreshing and his applications sound in both form and practice - it would be great to see more of this generally within Taiji schools whereby the the schools are able to produce students of this sort of caliber in execution of various applications - the next phase of course would be to create some kind of Taiji specific international event like most other styles do that allow skilled fighters to compete ... it would require rules of course, like anything, but it would certainly go a long way towards restoring the purpose and direction of Taiji not to mention the reputation beyond push hands comps. How great would it be to see Baguazhang vs Taiji vs Xinyi and other internal styles compete on the level and scale seen in the clip below - forgetting that the clip is a demo only it gives some idea of what might be possible.
