Fascinating stuff here. I'd like to know who produced the video and recorded the English narration. Was this originally made for a local audience or intended as an instructional video for non-Chinese?

Very cool upload.

Thanks. The video has been marketed in the US for years. It's called The Orthodox Chinese Taijiquan, and was made by the Pacific Audio Video Co., PRC. Most of the tape is an instructional video for the 24 movement Simplified form, with applications demonstrated by Master Fu Wing-fei. It's available from Tai Chi magazine.

What are the names of the male and female coaches teaching the actual 24 forms in the latter part of this video (beyond the scene uploaded)?

I've watched this video before have and been searching all over the net to find out who they are and to see the lineage they've learnt through.

Ah, thank you. There's numerous instructional videos covering all manner of Chinese martial arts on Youtube, but this is the first I've seen that looks as old as this one and has English narration. Again, thanks for uploading.

I'm eagerly awaiting your next "Electric Shadows" entry too.
