Here are the most obvious points:
1.) It isn't Taiji (okay, okay)
2.) The movement is not drawn from the Gua
3.) There is no silk reeling
4.) The movements are not connected
5.) From the posture, it is obvious that there is no Peng, and certainly no store and release.
It looks like a karate guy who took some dance lessons and is imitating Chen taiji.
If you think I am biased, ask the guy to do it again in sweats, put it on youtube, and post on the Neijia sites and see what happens.
The bagua was similarly aweful.
