this is qixingjian, sword form invented by chenshixing by putting together moves from xuanmen jian , taiji jian and some other forms he learned during his 3 years training with zhong yun long.
@lilunshan actually there is a "chi" in pinyin as well, but it isn't pronounce like chee as in cheese; it doesn't exactly have an english equivalent that I can think of. It is pronounced more like "chuhr"
@maokeke Not a combat martial art? Yeah, I've seen a lot of guys say the same thing about internal kung fu, until they got beaten badly by a 70-year-old man who practices these forms.
this doesn't seem to me to be the Seven Star Sword form I remember, but it's been years since I've tried it, so I could be wrong. Anyone else recognize this? I just ask because I hear it's a pretty popular routine in China.
yes, it's a "kata". Usually in western studies of Chinese martial arts, the routines are called "forms" instead of "kata", since "kata" is a Japanese word, which would be inappropriate considering it is not a Japanese art.
movement is "alright", could use more power, better targets and slicing. blocks don't really cover the areas which they should. the jian should move out of the one third!!
An 18 yr old from Switzerland would be an authority on this guy... ya ok. Send me a video of you and any form with the jian before you diss someone with more skill than yourself.

The music made my head hurt, as I've heard it a lot of times in Wudang videos, as much as the "Shaolin, Shaolin" song in Shaolin videos.

Wudang is also known as wu tang. Taiji is also known as Tai Chi. Qigong is also known as Chi Kung. Just a matter of phonetic translation.
This form is amazing. If only I had half that dedication...

There's two different way of saying "chi". You're both correct, but "qi" is the literal Chinese spelling, while "chi" is the wiles-gales spelling.

also this is not a combat style martial art, it's for practicing inner power, the "Qi"(air in side your body if translated directly)

Qi xing (seven stars) is a very popular name in chinese wu shu, shaolin also has a qi xing jian, as i'm sure do many other styles of gong fu.
