This kata is called Funei Pai Lao Jia 108 shi (Old frame 108 steps) performed by Master Lizheng of Zhuhai, China. He is the 5th generation in the Funei Pai lineage.
It is said that this Funei Pai Tai Chi was only taught within the imperial palace hence not known to the public.
There are many moves in this lao jia not found in modern day Tai Chi.
I'm so happy to see this video! For many years some great masters tel us about the"old Yang style" (Erle Montaigue comes to mind) and now we see that indeed many of these form, prior to Yang Chen Fu's form survived. Thanks so much for posting the video , and could you tell us more background about this form?
