Here's a video from a British martial arts tv series. If you ignore the wanker of a host, Kuroda is nice to watch. Especially interesting is the non-telegraphed stepping and the part at the end where he's pulling the host. Anyway, just thought I'd share, even though it's not Chinese swordsmanship.

While chi was mentioned, I noticed that posture and bone structure/anantomy played major roles in the finger holds that forced movement and the finger wrestling. Notice the sensei when he is on the ground for the finger movement, his toes are not on the ground and yet he seems rather relaxed. I am not questioning the role of chi here, but the role of technique should not be underestimated.
