If your going to beat someone with a stick, then this can help you learn how to do right!
So I've been a big follower of Dr.yang since I was young. In fact if it wasn't for him I wouldn't have no interest in martial arts and martial history. If you like to understand weapons and learn (if you have some background in it first, or you're special) the basic under laying formula then this is for you! He walks you through the difference between the southern stick and northern stick. How each tech is applied and how to train it up. As well at the end of the DVD the form that comprises of all the said techs. Study and train hard my friends. And remember we live in a day and age where this knowledge is all around. So stop fapping and start training! Keep in mind this is Southern staff only!

'Faulty' student demonstrations are there for a reason!
Some of the other reviews have criticized this video for showing students doing the techniques -- and not very well. News flash! Perhaps Dr. Yang knows what he's doing! OF COURSE when the students do the techniques, they don't do them quite right. Precisely -- these students are making the common mistakes *I* am likely to make. Immediately after the student demonstrations, Dr. Yang follows up with an explanation of what they aren't doing quite right and how to correct it. And his remarks about WHY there are different length staves, some of the history behind staff fighting, and WHY techniques are done the way they are are also marvelous.

Another top quality DVD by YMAA
Top quality teaching and video . Typical of YMAA. Their stuff is always first rate quality . They explain and show the individual moves of the staff and later show the forms . Always great stuff out of these guys .

Shaolin Staff
Aloha, I have the other YMAA staff DVD too, but this one shows the basics in a slower more comprehensive style, which is better for me. I view this DVD in slow motion and reverse it, to see the different hand techniques and body positions to move the staff. I'm progressing slowly. The DVD shows me the basic techniques, so I can progress at my own speed. I'm using the Tiger Claw Iron Staff, also from Amazon, as my training staff, so I have to go slowly. Take care of yourself.
