What weapons are used in kung fu?

Ok bruce lee is famous for his nunchaku and I%26#039;ve also heard of people using butterfly blades and three section staffs but can someone tell me what other weapons are used?|||The weapons used by kung fu masters are used to fight at a distance as well as at close range. Eighteen Arms is the term used to describe kung fu weaponry. Saber, spear, sword, halberd, axe, battle axe, hook, fork, whip, mace, hammer, talon, trident-halberd, cudgel, long-handled spear, short cudgel, stick and meteor hammer are the eighteen weapons. Some of these weapons are overt, whereas others are covert in nature. Some of them can be used with soft styles, while others can be used in the hard styles. The usage of the Eighteen Arms made kung fu more proficient.





The cudgels, swords, sabers, spears are the basic weapons. Cudgels, which are mostly made of wood or metal, are known as the father of all kung fu weapons. This weapon is simple, but turns out to be lethal when used properly.





The sword is the basic weapon used for rigorous training. Hitting, piercing, pointing, lifting, jumping, leaping, hanging, chopping, floating, poking, sweeping, wrestling, blocking and wiping are the techniques in which kung fu masters gain expertise. A good swordsman required to not only be skillful in technique, but also agile in his body movements.





The saber, the marshal of all weapons, is a broad, curved sword. Saber users need constant practice and rigorous training, as stability of the saber and body is necessary. A saber user must consider the saber the part of his body. A saber is useful not only in attack but also in defense.





The spear is the major military weapon from ancient times, as it can be used in close as well as distance fights. A spearman needs to be agile, flexible, quick and steady.





But the greatest weapon of the kung fu master is his mind. The kung fu master needs to remain calm and use his skill properly. The mind plays an important role in such a scenario.





Kung Fu provides detailed information on Kung Fu, Kung Fu Styles, Kung Fu Weapons, Kung Fu Uniforms and more. Kung Fu is affiliated with Martial Art Equipment.





|||Neither Nunchaku nor Butterfly Knives are Chinese weapons.





There are far too many to name. You need to do an exhaustive research for yourself.





If none of the people who answered knew enough to tell you about the nunchaku and butterfly knife, what makes you think their answers are accurate?|||Okinawan kobud艒 (Okinawan martial arts) use different types of weapons. The Bo (six foot staff), the Sai (three pronged short sword), the Tonfa (similar to the police nightstick), Nunchaku, Kama (half circle blade fitted onto a wooden handle), and there are other weapons has well.|||The Tripole, The Bo staff, The long axe and short axe, The butterfly sword.


But I think the most important and potentially deadly weapons in the art of Kung Fu is the mind, the spirit, and the open hand.|||never did kung fu so could not help you|||try chuck norris%26#039;s boots|||sword, stick and rope
