description
The three-stick originated in the Song Dynasty between 960 and 1279 in China. This weapon came to Okinawa ( Japan ) around 1200–1600 . It consists of three parts, each about 60 cm long and 2.5 cm in diameter, which are held together by short chains, cords, leather, rings or horsehair. When folded out, its length is a little over 1.80 m. Compared to the smaller and two-part nunchaku , the three-pole has the advantage of greater reach, but is a bit more unwieldy. Usually only advanced students are taught this martial art because the risk of injury is greater than with standard weapons such as sabers or long sticks . The greatest force in this weapon is released when it is turned or oscillated.
In Germany this weapon is classified as a weapon and is therefore prohibited.
