Like Wayne says, it looks a bit Yang-like, but it could have been that Wu style just looked more Yang-like back in those days (e.g. Chu Minyi's 1935 video also looks somewhat Yang-like, and Chu would have been learning from Wu Jianquan around the same time).
I'd love to see a low stance Wu style practice - some others were said to have practiced it as young men also, but I have not seen it before.
Bob, do you still keep up and remember the 8-step mantis that you learned? Many Shandong mantis masters in Taiwan seem to have shared / exchanged material, some of Wei's forms can be found in other mantis schools also there.
