Hey, I have no problems with instructionals with compliant partners, how else does one teach?
Demos tend to be complaint also because they are demos ( unless they are demos of fighting).
Besides, It was what GM Chen was saying more than what he was doing.
Do I think that GM Chen can fight?
I have no idea since I have never seen him fight or even show any fighting ability.
Does he know his Taiji? Yes. Does he know his fajing? seems like it.

I have seen him put down a non compliant spontaneous attacker.
Also in Hamburg some years ago- he chen elbowed an attacker in the chest-
who had to be hospitalized. Since then he has been extremely careful about
obtaining legal waivers from participants. He knows his fajing imo- not just "Seems like it".
Chen fajing distinguishes chen taiji from other taichi.
I've learned NOT to make comments on things beyond what they are.
I have never seen him fight or do fajing VS an opponent so I can only go on what I see in his demos, hence the "Seem".
To say otherwise would be stating something I do NOT know.
Anecotal stuff is interesting, but that is really all that it ends up being (unless one knows personally and then that is a different story of course).

These have seen lots of play but you gotta love em.

I'd also love to train with Chen Bing...his Tai Chi is always impressive to me.

If CXW is asked to teach a group of CIA agencies, FBI agencies, sercet service agencies for 6 months, what kind of course will he teach?
hopefully better than a lot of the crap that has been taught to military / LE - I have an old friend who is long time judo BB, he's an LtC working at the Pentagon now, but went through Ranger training years ago - he said most HTH stuff he had seen taught over the years was just enough to get people killed...
The 3 jins are all grounded with feet or started from feet.
Opening and closing of the chest and back
Rotation of the waist
are all rooted with the feet.
Start from the feet and end with the feet.
Waist, chest and back are relaying and storing the jin from the ground and then release jin via elbow, shoulder and fist etc etc.
