A while back a friend of my family gifted us with a 9 section chain whip, and I've really been wanting to learn how to use it. However, none of the area's martial arts schools teach this weapon, not even the local Shaolin school. Does anyone know where I can find some decent training materials for this unique weapon?

You mean this weapon?
I believe the guy when he says "it's easy to hurt yourself with a whip."

Alant, yeah that's one. And I was sporting a few bruises when I first checked it out, but I'm not unfamiliar with soft weapons (Bicycle chains, and logging chains mostly - fifth amendment on how I learned to use them). I'll be making a clothes line & tennis ball training version before I start any serious training.
Aceltone, thanks. I feel any weapon is dangerous if you don't know what your doing. That is why I refuse to own any weapon I do not know how to use. Therefore, I really need to find some training info on this unique piece so I can at least start creating some practice drills. I already learned that I need to attach the scarf (I know that's not the proper name, but I can't remember the correct one at the moment) for stability as step one. Some basic blocks, strikes, and handling techniques would be a decent start.

I had a friend in my hometown that knew oodles of different styles of martial arts, and he had trained in a lot of different weapons too. his name was kung-fu dave. HAHA! he was from New York, and he was like 6 ft 6, really big guy, had a huge head. he was like 34 when i was 15. thats who i trained with for a while, but anyways he had what i think is called a meteor hammer but it had like 4 or 5 different things you could put on the end of it, one was just a round solid ball, another was a hook, one a long kind of spike blade, a grapping hook with alot of hooks, and a weird looking hat thing with a bag thing on it that you were supposed to throw over someones head and when you jerk the chain it would decapitate them into the bag part with several blades inside it. sorry kind of off topic but i remember him telling me that if you train with long chains with dangerous things attached to the end or anywhere on the chain, you will get hurt. lol, easily. thats why any chains i have are not longer that 3-4 feet. his chain was 15 feet. ive seen him twirl that chain around on his body, legs, arms and neck and fling/kick that spike that was about 13-15 inches long and sink it into a BIG oak tree over half way deep so about 7 inches. thats crazy penetration. i have a 12 foot bull whip. this is where this is all going. haha. its easy to jack yourself up with just a leather bullwhip. be careful with the chain, mate. ;D good luck.
