Wushu Rope Dart

The rope dart ( in chinese: sheng biao / or / sheng bian ) is a sharp metal dart, attached to a 15 inch long rope. In ancient times the dart was thrown at an enemy and and the rope was used to pull the dart back. But the rope dart is also famous for hidden attacks, for example when it looks like its practitioner knots himself, and the dart suddenly flies towards the enemy.
