I fell off the wagon for a moment- blame the suckage

This was so insultingly bad I had to comment (in the comments section). MMA rashguard octogobblers should stay out of Taiji. It's so bad.

Couldn't find your comment, but could see an absence of Kung Fu!

Looks like a Ramsey Dewey wannabe. A....can't do any taiji, knows nothing about it, mma guy pretending to understand something he doesn't have a clue about. I got into with Dewey once. He is very aggressive responding to people on his YouTube channel. I told him tai chi wasn't really wrestlin, that it had a lot of strikes, joint locks , and weapons. He didn't like that. He got really defensive. Which I thought was weird. Seemed like a no brainer to me.

You have to click through directly to the video. Its there.

"Like the “mindfulness” trend sold the castrated commercialized Buddhism without the actual self awareness or spirituality, this is attempting to sell “tai chi” without the intrinsic kernel that makes it tai chi, and unsurprisingly the thing that actually makes it good; the foundation, the “sinking of the qi” as they say.
This is a cursory “looks like Tai chi” moves approach from someone showing they have no leg, no root, and no sinking development. Legs are completely unstable wobbly unsure of position and generally what would be called “double heavy”.
This is what “let’s pretend to demonstrate tai chi” looks like from someone who is habituated to wrestle and flip to the ground. Nope."

A compound problem consisting of people who are socialized to chase dopamine hits from their social media identity, and the lack of traditional training in the MMA scene, such as humility and character development.

I just gave the video a cursory look, and thought it literally was Ramsey Dewey. So if that's what the guy wants, I guess he's doing a good job?
