I've looked at your updated list of who's who and you've now mixed people of high-level, traditional martial Taijiquan abilities with those who are the epitome of New Age, fer-health teachings. Based on who you've got listed, I'd never recommend to anyone I know to use your list as a basis for finding "The Real Deal" - Authentic Un-adulturated Taijiquan. Yes, I have first-hand experience with the one's I'm specifically referring to.
Someone, somewhere, believes their current woo-woo teacher is The Real Deal and should be on your list. Keep obtaining those recommendations and adding to your list until you have included every known teacher, but for the one's you personally don't like. Just sayin'.
please let me know Charles who you feel is not legit, this is not the final version and i've removed some woo-woo people that i was told about (gin soon chu,removed, chu king hung- removed)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIy9_VeUcpc@Wayne: before I learned the 'Da Shou' drills, i had already learned some wing chun, FMA and Silat drills decades before as a taiji practitioner. When I learned the 'Da shou' it was not taught in the same manner nor were all the principles the same. They appear similar and they do share some "universal fighting principles", however Da Shou addresses the attacker with peng for : stick, adhere, neutralize and follow (counter). it is not taught the same way. If you have beef with that method, maybe you should talk to Coach Pei about it. he can be reached here:

No need to talk to anyone it is historical revisionism
If you think FMA doesn't contain the same principles
Of stick adhere etc you don't know much about these arts
As for the latest list it just gets more absurd by the day
It is not up to others to point out who needs to be deleted
It just becomes a popularity contest
Suffice to say I can see many on the list of mediocre ability and many who break the principles of tai chi
Are you also vouching for their moral content and lack of manipulation of those who teach for them
I can see one person on the list who claimed to train with a teacher after his death
