The form looks similar to Dwo Gang. At 32 moves it is about the same length. It has 1 kick. The moves for the most part are all in other forms of 7*, just arranged differently.
It goes well not only with Dwo Gang , but also 18 elders, cha chuei and beng bu.
2 man forms
"...one side is the counter to the other?"
I don't think I follow. Do you mean that the first route is the counter to the second route?
If that is your question, the answer is, sometimes.
Most forms arranged this way don't perform nicely as a solo form. The only exception that I know of is san tsai jian. A famous straight sword form.
There are several empty hand forms that follow this logic too.
-chu ji chuen
-zhong ji chuen
-shaolin 18 movement stick
I'm sure there are more.
But I think that it isn't a good way to arrange the forms as you would have to spend half the form backing up. So the sword form is good because of the circular walking.
