Wow, no mater what style, this was a treat to watch! The smoothness, fluidity, and postures are simply beautiful, and you can see that she has had a great foundation in traditional Taijiquan.

I enjoyed this very much. I wouldn't mind learning this form someday.

All I can say is if I can wave a sword like her at that age, I shall be proud!

Additional: For those assuming this is Yang style purely, it is very common for "Combined" style standardized routines to have a predominance of Yang forms versus other styles mixed in. Hence the common misjudgement of them as modern Yang routines.

The modern dao (in this case an Ox Tail Saber or rather Falchion) is often made thin, either of cold rolled steel or basic "wushu" metal. On the other hand, the traditional common saber or falchion before 1940 was the Duck/Goose Quill saber, looking more like the Yang Style saber, but wider, and made from forged steel that did not wobble. The answer to your question: very well, if its a real weapon rather than what you see here. Most modern dao are too flimsy for the way they are used.

To the best of my knowledge this is not a Yang interpretation of Chen style routine. This is a little known standardized "Combined" style routine (of which there are many many more than the public is usually aware of). Some of the forms herein are Chen, there are several which are clearly Yang, and I recognize some that are Wu-Hao.
