This is the bo kata that I ran at the Midwest Regional "Day of Champions" in Chicago. I took first in my division for weapons and second for empty-hand, although I am not completely happy with my performances for either one. You may notice in this video that I have a series of steps that are not performed properly, due to the small size of the ring and my attempt at NOT knocking the judges out ;P

I did spell it wrong, but the actual spelling is either Shushi or Shuji, either one. My instructor gave me a sheet of information on the kata, and it had the title at the top as Shushi no Kon Sho. If you want to argue with an 8th-dan who is a Chief Instructor of my system, good luck.
Actually, this is my first tournament outside of the ones held by my dojo. I have always placed 1st in weapons in our dojo tournaments, and usually 1st in empty-hand kata as well. I am looking forward to competing in more outside tournaments in the future, and since we also teach judo at my dojo, I may enter some judo tournaments as well
