    What do you guys think?

    It seems there is a hunyuan taiji guy about 30 minutes from me that is willing to teach me one Saturday a month because of our conflicting schedules.

    It's the only Kung fu within 2 hours of here. Worth it?

    If he is higher level then you, and knows how to teach, can't hurt.

    Are you still in Fayetteville? If you have any interest in Yau Kung Mun or Bak Mei, I would be happy to work with you on the weekends...

    Isn't it incredible how TKD has penetrated every populated corner of the modern world and TCMAs are still pretty rare in a lot of the rural USA?

    I don't live in Fayetteville, but I am not that far away. Seriously, if you are looking for Yau Kung Mun, Bak Mei, or Chi Gung, let me know. I am not a ringer or anything like that, but I enjoy to train, teach, and learn.

    What kind of training are you looking for?

    If he's good at pushhands I believe you could learn a lot. Grandmaster Feng was simply awesome by all accounts. My 2€

    it's an interesting form, which I would consider worth studying if the opportunity presented itself

    This look like Chen Taiji to me.

    You should ask yourself the following questions:

    - Will this be "enhancement" or "distraction"?
    - Is this "for health" or "for combat"?
    - Do I truly want to learn a new system?
    - ...

    In case it's interesting, here is a version of the 24 form that is in between the HunYuan 24 form you linked to and traditional Chen style.

    Comparing those two you can see steps of development of HunYuan.
