Well -- of course terms like "exaggerated" and "perfectly" mean one thing to one person and something else to another. But, clearly there are very different styles of performing tai chi. Just speaking for myself, we try to follow the form and style which was exemplified and taught by Prof. Cheng Man Ch'ing. There are videos of him on YouTube. If you compare that style with the gentleman in this video, clearly the latter is demonstrating a much different style of tai chi than that of Prof. Cheng.

is nothing exaggerated in that. notice how he performs. he is doing it perfectly. despite the fact that he make so " flexible" movements he is not even stretching his arms completely.

the person who said his forms are exaggerated is right in a way, as when beginning to learn tai chi, it is not recommended to extend the bodys weight too far forward past the knee. im not saying his form is wrong just certain aspects of it seem overdone, but this could be due to his experience more than anything else. instructors are only easier to learn from if its a one on one class your taking too.

the simplest form I have seen is attaichi18(dot)comits easy enough to learn from the video for free, and I have good results from it as well.

Agree. It's entertaining and the musical accompaniment is nice. But his form is highly exaggerated.

This is a unrealistic presentation of tai chi that would mystify the general martial artist and scare off the average unflexible person wanting to try tai chi
