Such bad mechanics

He appears to be a completely random person with no affiliation whatsoever with the Dong family, and whose taiji credentials come from the rather uninspiring "American Tai Chi and Qigong Association."

Thanks for posting, Marvin, but yeah, I too was wondering what that had to do with my original musing about Ms Dong (sadly deceased, as I now hear).
It's one viable application of the huge number that can be derived from Single Whip. As others already remark, this guy's body organization is strikingly bad. Among other things, this could be described as highly double-weighted stepping.
Do not make the mistake of giving up the near in order to seek the far.

Is it a GOOD application though? Looks like it relies on ignoring the right hand and barely works against a compliant partner at quarter speed.

Yes, just one person's application of SW. And, I agree with wayne. It wasn't that efficient and the mechanics and timing may be off. (Robin's boxing mechanics are not that good either.) If instead, Robin stepped with his left heel first to the outside of the right hand, rolled to the ball of his foot, pivoted, shifted his weight and pushed at a 90°, some of which Ms Dong does in the OP, it would seem to be more effective.

Robin doesn't ignore the right hand. He slips to the outside of it, which is done all the time in professional fights. So, yeah it works. I posted a gif of it here, including, "I will add that Lopez could have slipped the punch then pushed, instead."

Well then all I can say is he's doing a piss poor job of demonstrating it.
Like I get the IDEA is to slip it, but what he's doing would result in EATING it.

Anyone who thinks it’s a good application needs to go back to school
1 the punch never would have reached him he had to step in to catch it
2 thé punch is thrown at half pace
3 he hooks from the left across to his right it the time a guy jabs and withdraws
To do that his speed would have to be 3 times as fast as his opponent
4 he moves into the line of the other arm
5 even though the other guy just plays dummy he has to pull the second punch not to hit him
6 he double weights to pull off a clumsy push

Apart from that nothing wrong

This is Mak Ying Po, affectionately known as "Master Mak". I started learning Tai Chi from him in in Edmonton, Canada in 1983. It was actually later that same year when the video was filmed that I started my training.

Master Mak was a long-time student (discple) of Tung Ying Chieh, first learning from him in Shanghai in the 1930's, continuing with him until Tung's death in 1961.They were separated for a while during the time the Japanese were at war with China, but reunited in 1948 when he joined his teacher again in Hong Kong. Master Mak eventually started to assist Tung Ying Chieh with teaching, and continued to teach in Hong Kong on his own after Tung's death. In 1968 he moved to Canada, first to Saskatchewan and then settling in Edmonton, Alberta in 1970.

Here is a nice article written about Master Mak by a student in 1979.

http://www.chipellis.com/Writings/Exerpts%20from%20Mak%20Ying%20Po%20Originally%20published%20in%20Interface.pdf

In the above video, I think he was 70 years old. He passed away in 2006 at the age of 93. On a visit back to Edmonton (I moved to Vancouver) I saw him in 2005, and he as still teaching!

Jasmine Tung came to Edmonton and visited Master Mak in 2005. She interviewed him for a section about students of her father, Tung Ying Chieh, in her book about the Tung family Tai Chi.

Below is a photo of Master Mak with his teacher Tung Ying Chieh at the Hong Kong Airport in 1950?

I know you were just trying to show us Jasmine, but youtube keeps shoving all these Tung in my face so I figured I'd save/share them here.

So what I didn't realize until just now is that Jasmine Dong is Dong Ying Jie's daughter. Dong Hu Ling's sister.

When Dong Ying Jie passed in 1961, Dong Hu Ling took over the school, when he moved to the states in 1966, she took over as the head of the Hong Kong school.
