This is not self-defense, this is a slow dance. If you want to demonstrate self-defense, you must to be realistic. Tai Chi is a realistic martial art!
This is very, very instructive. Watch how the master, in red, leads all moves from his waist, his center. Notice that the student is not. She tends to stick out an arm or leg without having it start at the waist. Also notice how in the master the empty and full sides of his body are clearly separated, while the student often tends to be double-weighted.

This is a 2-person drill. Not self-defence. There is quite a big gap between the two.
