Can you comment a little about Zhang Bao Yang's wuxing spear? Will that footage ever be released?

The Wu Xing spear is basically used as power training for the movemnts of the Five Elements. The movements are relatively simple, and they are very close to the empty hand Wu Xing movememnts.
The added weight of the weapon is used to strengthen the relavent muscles and connective tissue.
I don't know if the video will ever be available. As far as I know, only Dan Miller has a copy.
