I said that balance was less important with two-handed, not that it wasn't important.. I don't get why you are all trying to discredit my training.. It's starting to get annoying. What's the point of posting, then?

Fist earth/pole wood/spear fire/knife metal/sword water
Each weapon changes how you do the empty hand form.

Take all the negative criticism agains yours and yours teachers training with a big fistful of salt. I would be very surprised if any one on this forum has been in real blade life and death sword duels, we can only assume(if that is wath we are doing) that we would be great live blade fencers from our sparring with practice sword or/and sword forms practice(usually also with practice sword). i would agree that any sparring with wooden/foam sword/stick would be of more value for "real" fencing than forms practice.

I know CMC mentioned it in one of his books
In the Yang system the 4 weapons have been talked about as far as Yang lu chan
I only know what my teachers have taught me before that I don't know

He only keeps it around in case he wants to get a higher Duan rank or something like that. He says that all of these weapons have a lot more in common than they don't. I know one master that went around learning all kinds of sword forms and converted all of them into two-handed Dao forms.
