I think you will find the Wu guy is just trying to put together an exercise routine for the chair bound
He is not concentrating on his core,a word I never heard in the first 30 years of my training
It would be easy to incorporate a greater range of movement in his form engaging the core.
I had a book years ago with line drawings of Chen Wei Ming doing a seated set.
Like the Wu guy Chen seemed to be pretty relaxed about the whole thing.
The tai chi form was designed as a standing dynamic set and it can be modified to fit any circumstances.
However I think there are many better sitting sets to do
Yoga,aikido,sitting ba tuan chin,tai chi ruler and others
Don't put power into the form let it naturally arise from the form
