Does anybody know of any good 2-man Jian (sword) video sets? Or any teachers teaching any good forms, if the forms aren't on video?
Thanks in advance!
(I promise not to jump on whatever lineage you say. I've never seen any Jian 2-man sets).

Li Hong's Shang Xingyi contains a Dui Jian form.

I believe San Cai Jian is one of the few (if not only) Northern jian sparring forms. Its first and second sections can be taken apart and matched against one another.
Yang Jwing Ming has a version of this set on VHS, if YMAA still carries it.

San Cai Jian @ YMAA Store.
My shibo, K. Brazier, has some clips of two person jian drills...not sure of a whole form. Search the mantis forum and there's a link somewhere over there for the host site...I don't have it in my favorites and am busy this am, sorry.

It's simpler than you think.
