Heyo, I'm trying to find out info about this. So far, the only form I've been able to find out about is called "Taiji Praying Mantis Splitting the Mountain Axe" form. Does anyone know if this is the only form that's ever been around, 'cause it doesn't seem like this would be the only one. Maybe I'm not looking hard enough, but I can't seem to find anything else about it.

Even if there isn't a specific form for most flavors of CMA for it, the placement of the cutting edge of either single or double handed fighting axes would neccesitate a fighting form similar to knife fighting (either ice pick held or not) with a little more range. It also makes me think of kama fighting, which again would require some similarity to knife fighting, while holding it the ice pick way.

Thanks in advance.
