Looks like somebody dug up the clip after the recent incident and decided to further make a mockery of Taiji.

The most seen visual of taiji fighting are those fellows who repel 5,5,6, etc people without touching them and that is shameful and makes a laughingstock of the potential of what martila taijiquan is. Jus sayin
Sanda is specific where elemetns of grappling, throwing, etc exists as part of function and utility.

If you are asking me specifically. I was just responding to the Text yeniseri wrote, that I highlighted in LARGE size.
IMO, it's videos like that in particular that give the impression of "...a laughingstock of the potential of what martila taijiquan is..."
P.s. Although he spelled martial wrong (least it seems that way), but I didn't want to correct it...he was probably just typing quickly and it happens.
