chainwhip and broadsword

[Leto]

Has anyone heard of a shaolin chainwhip and broadsword form? (not a two person set, a chainwhip in left hand, and broadsword in right) It was supposedly invented by a monk during the sung dynasty. 53 postures?

Yes, there is. I don't know the specifics but I saw it on a dvd called " This is Kung Fu" It had a whole bunch of China's wushu champions performing. It is a really good dvd if you can get it. Pretty hard to find

I know there is a wushu form, haven't seen a traditional form with those two weapons. They did a form in the Shaolin Warriors tour with chainwhip and broadsword.

Yes the broadsword/soft wipe

I've only seen the wushu version. The whip is held in the right, the broadsword in the left. It's flashy, but perhaps not as challenging as double whip.
I believe there is an example of it on this video http://store.yahoo.com/martialartsmart/vidshaolkunn.html
