It's interesting to watch this little clip. Obviously it's wrestling and not Taijiquan but it is very relevant. The complaints I have about the Chen Village commercial schools are the same for this. Being a legit mainstream combative sport the complaints would seem to make more sense in illustrating why there should be differences between the TJQ and wrestling approaches and again, sport vs.self defense. The funny thing though, is that while many might agree with the the complaints when looking at wrestling, magically it's ok when TJQ practitioners do it and, its just ignored.
In this case what we see is the same head resting on opponents shoulder, and what I think they call "underhook" arm positions, grabbing around the torso under opponents arms. I've complained about this for years with competition tuishou, how they basically took this approach from sport practices such as wrestling and Judo rather than traditional TJQ. Many times I have discussed the vulnerability of the shoulder strike etc to the head in that position, but there are many risks there. The underhook position, heavily favored by crude power, seeks to muscle the torso around and certainly a weak approach to a heavier opponent or in a situation that going to the ground is undesirable.
This video makes is pretty clear how the underhook approach disables, nullifies the hand ability to control upper body centerline at all, leaving such an opening for the opponent to walk in and basically fall on structure to break it and go to ground. Once the hands are locked into underhooks it is only a game of fast footwork and core strength. That might be great if you are the stronger heavier one but definitely not true in reverse.
