Wing Chun long pole vids are all pretty boring, except the demo from the Master, himself.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JABaUq-MtU

The link doesn't work in the UK due to NG copyright! So I couldn't comment that...
But there is a shortage of clips online of Wing Chun pole. For genuine effort and for producing quality showreels I am liking Sifu Leo Au Yeungs work and he recently released this gem

Not so much a demo of applicable pole methods, and I think even Palmstriker has a point that there doesn't seem to be much out there other than in the movies... and personally my favourite pole fight on screen would be this one between Sammo and Lau Kar Leung!

Thanks everyone.

Karate guys never seem to figure out that a bo/guan is longer when you hold it by its end.

Turning of the stick is a special skill

Yup, I view karate's misinterpretations of the venerable Shaolin weapon much like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swSiKd6mmf0

Ahhh good old baton twirling lol! Yes... this is exactly what I mean by 'special skill' which is great for exercise AND for cudgel plays, as long as you know what and why you are doing it
As a Mantis man is there anything you could recommend?

Remembering that a staff is longer when you hold it by its end and using a heavier stick - both of which Wing Chun does very well. It's just not as pretty as the flashy spinning shiny stuff with twigs.Ahhh good old baton twirling lol!

There is balance that is required in all things, and so I can't criticize the spinning too much as I trained that myself (and yes! I am a Wing Chun student) albeit not like the clips really, they're spinning for spinning sake.
In our families stick we have turning at the half, which we commonly call Yum Yeurng Boon Gwun, and this in turn is related to our Looksau/Rotating arm practice. Very specific skill training for very specific purpose. But we all like to have twirling sticks sometimes don't we? lol!
I might be crucified on here for this but hey ho! This is me back in 2001...

Why would you get crucified? Spinning is fine - we all like to do it, but one thing your clip showed was plenty of applications that used the length of the weapon to your advantage. That's the whole point of using a staff... it's long!You don't see that in Karate. Even the traditional guys using the legit stuff - it's all quarter as you say, so with a 6 ft staff, they're getting maybe 2 ft extensions on their technique. TCMA on the other hand is getting most if not all of the benefit of that 6 ft weapon.
