What appears to be effortless on Master Chen Bing's part is truly years of great effort to perfect the high level skills he now possesses. A true modern Master in every sense of the word.
@widugeist double leg takedown is a very refined sport related technique. Push hands is also a sport of course, however it goes against common sense in martial arts to put your face and head in proximity of opponent's foot or knee. Almost all of leg takedowns require a fake, in order to bridge with the opponent's mid section or lower body. Bridging is risky enough, but bridging to lower body is even riskier, especially against a muay thai training or clinch fighter
Taiji isn't all about "kicking ass"... I hate how people have the misconception that taiji is slow in a fight. It's slow in practice so you understand what to do without even thinking in a fight. Not saying that Wushu is a bad martial art, but before saying "'this' style would kick 'this' styles ass", please consider the fact that "kicking ass" in martial arts is only a small amount of what it's all about.
You took textbook too much. Remember Taiji is internal martial-art which enhances body machanics and Dan Tian power. The internal power is the base of internal martial-art, You should have "power" and "listening" both. Taiji was born in the peek of Chinese martial-art history. There should be a lot of "very practical" moves, not just very "subtle effertless" moves.
Are you actually saying that Chen Bing after 20 years of practicing (don't know the exact number of years) haven't been able to understand his family's taijiquan style? Even though he have practiced and learnt with the help of some competent masters? And what is Taiji bible? Honestly, i'm not try to say, that you're absolutely wrong. All i want to tell you, is that we should be more open-minded and patient, when it comes to judging others.
