I am pretty familiar with what the shenfa [body method] of Li Guichang's line looks like - not just Mao Mingchun but other teachers like Song Zhiyong and Wang Guoping - and Tim's rendition of the 5 elements shows no evidence of that. IMHO it just looks like standard Taiwanese xyq coming down from the Hong brothers.
Again, not questioning his fighting credentials - just saying maybe he should drop the mention of Mao Mingchun, that's all.

I think his Bagua look functional. He applies the principles, body method and intent from his forms necessary to pull off the techniques... what more do people want? Bouncing students around during push hands?

Niclejm claimed his movement looked like the Hong brothers
Meaning Hung
As he said he went to Taiwan in 84 HSU died in April
Even if he got there on the first of January and HSU wasn’t sick before he died and continued teaching up until he died it is 3 months at the utmost
Not very long to take on any part of the art
The photo of HSU is from inside Kung fu
No photo with Tim
