When it comes to weapon-based styles, the first thing that comes to my mind are stick/staff styles practiced in north-western China. Some years ago Kezi Gun taught within a small village community near Tianshui city in Gansu drew a lot of attention in MA circles in China. From what I saw they teach mainly exercises with partner and do some sparring. I've been thinking about visiting them, but there's never enough time... Maybe you will be more lucky.
Cheers,
Jarek
