Given all the baroque versions of Chen Fake's "xinjia" forms - Feng Zhiqiang's form has had a lot of extra circles added, while the Chen Zhaokui/Chen Yu version seems to have added all kinds of movement in the lower back - it is good to see something as plain and austere as this.
Ciccio:
In orthodox Chen Taiji, the waist does not move independently of the torso; her shenfa looks right on to me. Don't know where her "elbows" are up: Again, looks good to me. But FWIW, if you look at Feng Ziqiang, an acknowledged grandmaster, his right elbow always looked higher than it should be to my eyes....
