Q: How can you wrap my punching arm if I always pull my punch back fast?
A: When you move in toward me, I'll move in toward you at the same time. If my shoulder can hit on your chest, it doesn't matter how fast that you may pull your punching arm back, my arm can still wrap over (or under) your shoulder.
When 2 deer jump in at the same time, their horns can be tangled with less effort.

Rather than your student not retracting his jab like below, say your student throws punches like he does above—retracting his jab. When your other student separates his arms, your student would punch your other student's head with a straight left and right uppercut:

If you and your opponent are on the same level, his 2 enforced arms will be stronger than your single arm. When you use one hand to push his rhino guard, that's the time his rhino guard will be separated and become 2 independent arms. The grappling game will start.
Try to hold a rhino guard (with Taiji Peng Jin) and ask your opponent to
- push on it. Can his push destroy your rhino guard?
- push on it with one hand and then punch you with another hand. Can his punch land on your head?
I would love to hear your personal experience from this 2 simple tests. What's your succeed/failure ratio on these 2 tests?

You are talking about is the throwing art. I'm talking about the striking art. In striking art, if you move back, you will lose that "head on collusion" effect.
Chen Kung (aka Yearning K. Chen) wrote:In the treatise Secret of the Eight Postures it says, “What is the meaning of Rolling-Back Energy? Entice the opponent to advance forward, follow his incoming energy, do not discard it nor resist it. When his strength is completely exhausted, he will naturally be empty. At this point you can let go or counter him. Maintain your own center and no one can take advantage of you.”
Johnny Kwong Ming Lee in April 1993 wrote:"People often don't understand the Tai Chi principle that you have to disperse first the coming force. Then you help him to go where he wants to go. That's what the Wu style does. That's a form of discharging energy. When he comes forward, I can feel his energy coming forward. I'm not going to push him backward. I just say, okay. If he comes in, I sink to the ground and change his angles, mostly to the side. In Wu style, it is common to discharge to the side, mostly to the side. . . ."
"So when he moves, you can move ahead of him. If you don't have the security to have your opponent come in and you cannot get close to his center, then it is no use."
"You have to let him come in, just enough to listen and stay on him." But he cautioned against rolling back too much. "Too many people roll back too far."

This is another example that your opponent moves in, you move in at the same time. This is used in the striking art.
