3 Section Staff, Hardwood

Originating from China, the three-section staff is a flail weapon historically made of white oak or Chinese red maple. The three-section staff was used in combat as an extension of one's arm to strike, flail, block, choke, disarm, whip, and entangle an enemy's weapon. The three-section staff has always been one of the more complex close-combat weapons as it requires skill and patience to control properly.
