Publisher Description The three-section staff is a traditional Chinese weapon consisting of three short wooden or metal rods linked by chain. A versatile and difficult weapon, it can be flexible or rigid, long or short, an instrument of finesse or brutality. For visual impact, it is as dazzling as it is intimidating. As an exercise tool, it develops coordination, aerobic stamina, speed and joint flexibility. As a cultural artefact, its use in duelling and pre-firearm warfare is historically documented. As a modern-day weapon, it is compact and convenient, and is only dangerous in the hands of one who has been trained in its use.To wield the three-section staff requires athletic prowess, courage, and tenacity, characterizing the person who masters it as one of substance and fierce individuality. Unsurprisingly, its the weapon of choice for many advanced martial artists throughout the world, yet instructions on its use have largely remained hidden. In "The Classical Three-Section Staff", Rick Wing now brings this ancient weapon into the light.Wing breaks down the complex wheeling manoeuvres of the three-section staff into easily understood, step-by step instructions, and hundreds of photographs carefully depict front and back views of techniques. With a learn at your own pace approach, and a solid foundation of descriptive text, the blurring weapon of whirling fury is made easy and enjoyable.
