I do not know of anyone. So, you ask, why am I bothering to reply? Answer: I doubt you will find anyone, but that does not mean the cause is lost. You can work the matter out for yourself, by looking at all the moves and sayng of each one, no, I should not like to trust to that in a fight or yes, I think that could be made to work under combat pressure.

The way you get an ounce of gold from a stream is easy, you wash off a ton of dirt.
I define internal martial art as unusual muscle recruitment and leave it at that. If my definition is incomplete, at least it is correct so far as it goes.

I have a friend who learned how to use the chain whip by himself as a kid in NE China for self defense... he even made his own whip from junk :D

i learned a form a while ago. i'm not sure if i'd define the chain whip as a weapon or not though. for the amount of time it takes you to be more of a danger to someone else then yourself you could probably learn a lot of really practical weapons.

beside they're loud and not quick to get at and use as they can get tangled pretty easy.
