Ed,
This is just a standard variation of a chinese 2 person weapons set. They're using lighter weight weapons (a la Wu-shu) to move faster, and probably have added a few gymnastic movements, but those movements are always in the Chinese systems.

That was a good demo. Even if it was not resistant, that still takes a lot of skill to go that speed.
