Clip just keeps getting better as I watch too. Love how he shows how the striking is mixed in. That aspect is really rarely seen. Off the top of my head I can't think of another clip where I've seen it being shown.

I have seen the occasional mixing up of striking and so on but just playing by those rules does not make the method magically appear. I felt that he was mixing it up in a way that I personally find natural and also specific to Taijiquan methods. The slaps and punches and so on were not simply "shown" they had real heaviness to them and, on occasion, he even allowed them to land with enough force to give his partner a sense of how serious those threats were.
Got more I could say but I gotta run for a moment.
