My Dad does Taoist, and that is the only other style I've seen much of apart from Chen.
I was speculating that Yang would be closer to Chen because the guy that developed Yang style originally trained in Chen style.
I've met the man doing the sword form - he's one of the grandmasters of Chen style (and a member of the Chen family). Though I learned for 2 terms from another grandmaster, Kong Jie Gou, and he was absolutely lovely, spoke virtually no English except numbers, worked us to death and laughed at how bad we were a lot. That was fun.
