Sean Marshall performs the Crazy Devil Staff "FengMo Gun". Sean learned this form from shifu Shi YanMing of shaolinUSA.
Sean is head instructor of Jing Ying Institute

The difference between northern and southern staff is described in these links:

Also here is vid of Master Shi YanMing himself (first tour of shaolin fighting monks):

Notice how much longer and thinner his staff is compared to Sean's thicker shorter weapon. Here's a video of northern shaolin staff performed in China where you can see the 'toothpick' type staff most commonly used in this form.

thanks bowser. its very tempting for people to talk big anonymously online. If you ever feel you’re ready to show the world ur skills, I’m sure that you would want to have some control over what people post on ur channel. Maybe one day you will have administrators of your own ;-)

[bowser8275]

I looked over the links you posted and- sure enough you are correct. I took ur advice and searched youtube for ‘southern kung fu staff’ and once again you are correct. All the southern staff players are using thick waxwood. My teacher said he will break my fingers if he sees me making any of these comments on youtube! One day I will be confident enough to post my own vids :-)

[bowser8275]

I have reread your original post and realized that you never said ‘tapered’. I injected that myself because of my TKD training and we use staves that are tapered on both ends. Since I just began kung fu I’m not used to waxwood. Sorry about the rudeness of my post. I have spoken to my teacher about this and he says you are correct. I will try to show more respect from now on and spend more time training and less time commenting on youtube about things I am unfamiliar with.

[Sean Martial]

you don't need to prove yourself? Really? Clearly you feel like you do or you wouldn't be trolling my channel haha! Son- posting ignorant comments on other channels is NOT the way to prove yourself! Try find a good teacher and stop playing on youtube.

[Sean Martial]

persistent little troll aren't you! FYI- all waxwood staffs are tapered-they're trees silly! Ever notice how trees are fat on one end and skinny on the other (tapered)? Who ever said 'double tapered staff'? You assumed that was what I meant when I said 'toothpick'. Probably because you are new convert from TKD so thats what you are used to. You don't see vid of me, but you also don't see me trolling around making stupid comments on other peoples pages like you haha

Once again you can kiss my ass. You have no videos of yourself either LOL. I dont need to prove myself to someone who thinks CMA artists usea double tapered Kenpo toothpick ROFL. You probably do COntemporary Wushu and not even traditional CMA. Got a great teacher by the way, so no need to start taking it to that level. SInce its pointless. Go back to Taekwondo or whatever it was you were studying.

[Sean Martial]

Once again you have failed the easy task of providing evidence for your silly claims. Yes I am an administrator of this channel. When you grow the huevos to post a video of yourself, then we'll see if your for real. Until then, we'll just have to take your word for it lol! But so far you have revealed surprising ignorance of common CMA knowledge. suggest you find new teacher.

[bowser8375]

Administrator of what ? Your youtube channel LOL. I have my years of training to keep me informed. I have also read many , many books on various martial arts over the last 20 years. Your information is the false stuff, so I am glad you feel confident in your wrong info. You probably have only been training for less than a year. Best of luck on your channel, administrator ROFL.
