    You should consider the age-old experience of the master, the real essence of Tai Chi is the balance of Yin and Yang.It seems to me that in your form the Yang movements are to dominant.It will create a lot of power in to your body (fire is dominant) and without this balance sooner or later your body getting sick.
    You should try to do a few things more with spirit and mind.
    Tai Chi in our time means no more just to beet your enemy it should be good for your health and balance your energy
