Overall comments:
The form is not complete. No need to send me the rest. I had enough to use as basis for comments.
Overall movements appear to be careful. You should be strong and should feel free, while maintaining center and keeping to all rules, not by being careful.
No problems with choreography. Only little precision type of problems.
Speed is good.
There is still some up and down of your heights in the form.
Specifics:
00:17 right forearm the hand is behind the elbow.
00:29 rear hand is not coordinated with the front hand. There should be a move backward to create a split of the two hands.
01:00 the left hand in this move should try to stay in front of the elbow. This move is the same for all Brush the Knees.
02:02 your weight landed on the front foot. It should remain to be on the right foot so that it is still a cat stance and the left foot must be free and light.
02:14. The following moves are “倒卷肱“。Your hands moved too much. There must be equal movements in elbow, waist, etc. to make all movements even/proportional.
03:24. Cloud Hands. Left hand (front) must be in front of the elbow. This applies to all cloud hands.
04:54. In Front Trick and Rear Trick. Don’t put power on shoulders. Shoulders should always go down. It is the head that always stays high and strong.
06:09. Don’t get up before or while the kick.
07:09. Cat stance. Your weight was on the left foot again. It must be on the left foot.
