The Taiji guy's combat strategy and posture are all wrong. If he is fighting against a grappler who likes to shoot, he should
- extend his arms, and
- put his hands and arms in his opponent's shooting path.

This way when the BJJ guy shoots, he has to pass the Taiji guy's hands and arms first before he can gets to the leg. The Taiji guy may have chance to borrow the BJJ guy's shooting and drag him on the ground and then mount him.

Psalms 144:1
Praise be my Lord my Rock,
He trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle !
The footwork was designed so you can move back to exactly the same spot and face the same direction at the end of your Taiji form. Don't pay attention on the foot work. The "Repulse the monkey" is right hand push and left hand pull. It's "single leg".
The "brush knee" is right hand push, left hand deflect (not pull).
It is not about the guy doing taiji but his exposure to physical conditioning methods and some level of grappling, whether incorporating BJJ, judo, shuaijiao, etc. The taiji guy thought that by running, lifting weights, etc he was polluting taiji when in fact the opposite was true because he was unfit and a laughingstock!
He failed to adapt to the trainng conditions of his opponent.
