Taijiquan's next great hope

The following typical threads that plague martial arts sites will get moved here if not just deleted: 1 - My style is better than Your style" - 2 - "Internal & External" - 3 - Personal attacks - 4 - Threads that start well, but degenerate into a spiral of nonsense.

My favorite part there was right before he slaps his neck he says, "Watch this, I'm not acting".
Oh sure buddy.

Every time I see this fellow's latest oeuvre, I find myself asking once more whether he is kidding the public, or, worse, kidding himself. I'm still not sure whether he is a bad martial artist or a very subtle comedian.
I define internal martial art as unusual muscle recruitment and leave it at that. If my definition is incomplete, at least it is correct so far as it goes.

"This secret Tai Chi for Enlightenment or Primordial Qigong form was taught to me by the 81-year old Zhu Hui, a kindly Chinese master with a smile that made your heart melt. (You can see him in the video). He says the form cured his liver cancer and protected him from violent abuse during the Cultural Revolution. He learned it from a 106-year old Taoist Master Li Tong, who lived on Wudang Mountain. Zhu Hui was the national tai chi sword champion of China when he was younger, and Master Li Tong took a liking to him."

Sounds, like the usual marketing crap. But....it also sounds more plausible than the "original 13 posture taoist soft hands is the Wu Fast Form" theory currently doing the rounds on the flower ;D
