I admit I was skeptical at first but I ended up coming away pretty impressed. It's definitely taiji, its just a little different to orthodox yang or chen. The guys I met had very strong foundations and were exceptionally flexible so you can't say they don't eat bitter either. They were not afraid to put the gloves on either and can show how they use their skills within a sanshou format, which is more than I can say for a lot of taiji people. They also practice a variant of baji. There was some serious fajin going on with that. It wouldn't call it orthodox baji though. I asked about it. One of the earlier generations had crossed trained with a baji group and they had changed it into a hybrid wudang / baji style.
There is definitely some kind of legitimate lineage going in that school regardless of whether you believe it is "the authentic" wudang style.
