very nice, if u know sworfighting with real swords, u see how he plays with his Students, and this i have seen in all his forms, wich are focused on real combat swordfights with an illusionary Enemy most other Tai Chi Forms only use the Sword as Toy for looking nice..

I by no means want to sound like I think I'm some educated martial artist, but this to me looks like just one exercise in a chinese sword style. It seems similar to sticking hands in Wing Chun. Just an exercise in deflecting the energy of your opponent. Not the entire style of swordplay itself.
I don't want to sound critical of a martial arts master because this guy looks like he knows what he's doing but...does he get the concept of a central line in fencing? I mean I thought swordplay was supposed to be linear..this looks like a cross between the "Spanish Circle" system and tennis.
Well in fencing you poke with the tip right? So that's probably why it's linear stabbing motions. The Chinese sword is a double edged slashing weapon. In tai chi sword like what he's doing once the blades comes into contact he sticks to the other sword and manipulates both the sword and person behind the sword via footwork and sensitivity moving the opponents sword tip and edge to the outside of the circle as he moves his sword tip and edge to the inside and cuts the opponents wrist and body.

Does she EVER score a hit on his "center line"? No she doesn't, so to answer your question he clearly does unrstand the concept of a center line.

In real fighting, it is not just in a line... being able to move in a circle is an advantage...
Fencing for competition is a sport, not a martial art, hence it has artificial rules such as moving in a straight line.
