yeah, looks like "Hung Jong," or empty jong. There is an expression in Wing Chun from one of their kuen kuits-"Dar Hunng Jong," or play the jong, without the jong. I have even seen people teach the empty jong as a set, way before introducing the actual jong!
Personally, I am stripping alot of forms from my curriculum, concentrationg more on drills,and hands on, rather than collecting forms. Over the years, I have learned so many damn forms, and make no mistake-I LOVE forms, but I would rather concentrate my energies in a different methodology. That form does look cool, though!

Hi Franky Lau,
Finally managed to record a student's sword form and uploaded it to youtube. She just started on the sword form for a few weeks, so please excuse some hickups on the stances or the fluidity of the form. Apparently its the Dat Mo Gim. Hope you enjoy it.

Very nice, beautiful stances and body transition. Good essence of lau gar stance work. Nice Mui Fah Gim!
