Traditional Wushu Weapons
Traditional wushu weapon forms are one of the most interesting
things of chinese martial arts.
Everybody can learn them becasue they are usually not acrobatic and dangerous.
Besides traditional wushu weapon forms are really fun.
Description: Traditional Wushu Weapons
- Here are some well known and very interesting weapon styles.
Ropedart (A 3 meter rope with a dart at its end) You swing it around and knot it over your body. Then you shoot the dart out somewhere and the whole knot opens up as the dart flies away from you. This is my personal favourite. The 3 sctional staff, The wip chain, the Nan Gun (southern style staff), the hammers, the pudao, etc etc etc.
- Styles like the double broadsword or the double straightsword are also considered traditional weapons.
- There are also mixed weapon forms like Wipchain-Broadsword. Thats when you have a whipchain in one hand and a broadsword in the other. Its very difficult to coordinate these two forms, but everybody can laern it, as there is no acrobatics in it.
- One of the most traditional styles in the world would be the most seldom style in the world.
As you might know, The monkey style is pretty seldom, but the monkey with a staff is even seldomer. However, there is something even seldomer then that.
The DRUNKEN monkey with a staff. I would say that's the most traditional style ever.
- The nunchuck is no traditional chinese martial arts style.
Its not even considered a chinese martial art. Its just the weapon of a bully and Bruce Lee made it famous. Hundreds of years ago, 2-sectional staffs (nunchucks) were uses to thresh wheat, and one day somebody used one of those to beat somebody up.

All though you will learn them faster if you have done modern wushu before.
Becasue of the improved coordination you have from modern wushu training and acrobatics,
you will learn any skill of any other sport faster.
