I came across this film of Dr Tao the other day and will post it as it’s own thread
What is called Hsing I sword on here I learnt as Man Heaven Earth sword form
Things like this make it hard to delve into the past
I have always thought CMC,s two man sword work was MHE based

What I learned from Ray was the San Tsai Jian, three powers sword, sometimes referred to as the Heaven Earth Man. He got it from Liang who may have got it with or from CMC.

I believe it started out as a Jing Woo form.

It looks similar to what's in that clip but I only gave it a quick glance.

TT had plenty of other teachers
None of CMC students who trained only with him did the MHE sword form
What I implied was he took the way of moving from the MHE form
I learnt that form but never kept up the practice because I didn’t like it and though it didn’t move like the tai chi jian
It is a Shaolin form and moves like one
