However, later (in the other school) I've learned that it was a really bad idea for proper tai chi work, for a variety of reasons, primarily your intent being in the wrong (i.e. useless) place all the time. Kind of like when they train the form specifically for a forms competition, focusing on all the wrong details.
Looks neat though!
