It looks like he's been meticulously watching and studying other IMA teachers who have skill in spades and he's copying them. It's kind of like watching a Chinese bootleg DVD, where the last part is edited in and filmed with handheld camcorder in a movie theater and you can hear the sounds of him eating popcorn over the dialogue and sound.

The use of intent to create contradictory forces and the specialized body movements demonstrated here are very similar to some of the indoor materials I've picked up over the years in Taiwan from several IMA teachers.
IMO, he is the real deal and definitely someone I'd love to learn from in the future.

Unless you are basing your comments on direct experience you have in working with CZH that spans the period of time you are describing, your comments are unfair, unkind and uncalled for. If you don't like his videos, saying so is fine; the back-handed innuendo isn't. I expected better from you.

Throwing someone down the way he does, will most likely not end a fight.

Agree that he seems to be developing and incorporating things into "his" taiji" from outside his sources, it would be interesting to know the
influences.
