The influence of Chinese culture

It can be seen that this movie is for foreigners, and it is foreigners' understanding of Taiji culture and Taijiquan. rather than Chinese.
It can be seen that the entire content is American-style, but the "concept of Tai Chi" is applied.
In addition, the hero Chen Hu, at first glance, knows that he must have practiced martial arts and has a good foundation, but he must have never practiced Taijiquan, at least not really.
The action is stiffer and stiffer. Lack of whole body strength, not soft enough. "I stretch with the song, I follow the person's quilt, and the person is rigid and I am soft", the round and the force is Taijiquan. The protagonist should be from a martial arts team or a sports academy.
The fighting action should have ended but it was too cumbersome for visual effects.
If you change the protagonist to a Westerner, it will look more comfortable, or you are not used to watching Chinese people play "such Taijiquan".
