I like training Taiji with fast speed. It makes me feel young. Who said that old people have to move slow. It's nice to see some effective kick/punch in Taiji solo form training.

From my reading of his Taiji, Wu Tunan started in Wu-style, but developed something softer, more internal, deeply focused on emptiness, intention, and qi. It’s called Wu Taiji, but it’s very much his own.
He was known for his age, and for what some might call high-level internal skill.

The people in this clip are a great endorsement for taiji. They exude vitality and love of life and having fun. Great that the children see this and while likely have little comprehension of what they're watching, one can see they're into it. "What? Old people can move like that?" No walkers for that bunch. That's TMA.
It's so funny that in US, only young guys grow beard. Old guys don't grow beard at all. Our current vice-president (he is not old) grows beard. Our current president and previous president don't grow beard.
I don't like old Chinese grow beard. You are already old. Why do you want to look even older. Both of my MA teachers didn't grow beard at all.

Some good healthy reasons for martial arts beard -
“hair is a natural extension of our nervous system, balancing the electromagnetic field in our body. Our hair tips serve as an antenna that gathers energy from the universe”
Hair and Spiritual Energy: What is Their Relationship?
“These data support the hypothesis that human beards protect vulnerable regions of the facial skeleton from damaging strikes,”
Did beards evolve to protect men from punches? Here’s what U. of U. researchers discovered

Wu Tunan learned both Wu and Yang tjq.
However about fast taiji form regarding those styles there really aren’t any such set form, any such fast forms seen today are recent creations and in my mind a wrong thing.
In Yang/Wu any fast method should spontaneously grow from the authentic slow and even phased form, it’s an individual somewhat spirited spontaneous expression that spring forth and it may do so differently from time to time - it’s never a set fast form
