I like the way he points out that hard taiji, taiji as a martial art, requires different training.
Although I'm not why he says the Wu is slow, because it has fast stuff too.

I tried to have someone trim some of it down but for some reason it slowed it down and it looks kind of strange. But I'll see what I can do.
Does anyone know of any good software for editing video clips?

Please cite your source there cdobe. I've trained with Bruce doing his Wu style tai chi on many occasions. He demonstrated nothing but respect for Wu Jianquan and the founder Quanyu. He told me that his teacher was friends with Wu Jianquan's sons and that's how he got to learn from Wu. The statements you are making go against everything I've heard from Bruce in person. Not that he didn't say it, but it sounds quite out of character, and perhaps your memory of it wasn't exactly precise.
Thanks,
Jess O
