Bujinkan Bo NYC

The Benevolent Heart Dojo of NYC has a few short videos demonstrating staff use in the Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu system. There is another mpeg showing some of the techniques here (the annoying music stops after a few seconds).

Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu

Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu was founded by Masaaki Hatsumi. It consists of nine schools, as taught to Soke Hatsumi by Toshitsugu Takamatsu. While it focuses on many weapons, both traditional and obscure, it has an extensive staff repertoire. There are not kata (forms) per se, but rather short and medium length movements which are meant to apply directly to combat situations. Soke Hatsumi has books and videos specifically about the staff.
