Yes, the one I am using in the video is a padded foam one. I am not allowed to use anything that will mar up the hardwood floor of this studio. I use a rattan or waxwood one at my school, Tat Wong Kung Fu. I also have one just like the one you mentioned which is metal but unscrews into a 3 sectional staff. Thanks for asking and keep on practicing. God bless

is that 3 section staff padded? i have a metal one that can be a staff or a three section but i dont use it as a three section too much because when i mess up it hurts lol.

[Footzerg]

Not bad, but lemme see you do that with a wooden 3 sectional.

[chongyt94114]

Thank you for your kind comment and for watching my video. I actually use both a rattan and waxwood three sectional at my school but here in this studio they do not permit anything hard to hit their hardwood aerobic floor.

ok..question : since most martial arts weapons come from types of farming tools...were did the 3 section staff come from?

[chongyt94114]

According to "legend" the Song emperor Song Taizu invented the "sweeper" at the beginning of the Song dynasty (960 AD). He specialized in the use of the staff and one day his favorite staff broke. When he repaired it by chaining the two pieces together, he found it very effective in fighting an enemy bearing a shield, because the short end could hook over the shield. Legend has it that he later broke his sweeper into three pieces and chained them together and that became the 3 sectional staff.

some of the weapons that came from farm tools are the Okinawan ones -- nunchuku, tonfa, sai. I think they were derived from the flail used to separate the rice from the chaff, from the handle used to turn the grinding stone, and the trident used to fish respectively

Good job, keep posting. Nice training. Just ignore the stupid comments from other users, you are doing very well.

[chongyt94114]

Thank you for your kind words and comment. It is because of your encouragement that gives me the perservance to keep practicing harder. God bless

[angelnhanako]

you look like nacho libre haha fat fuck

Just curious, are those foam? If not do they damage the floor at all? I put a thick coat of polyurethain on mine so I would not damage the ends as I hit the ground in the same way as you do.

[chongyt94114]

Yes, on these wooden studio floors i am required to use foam. however, at my school, i practice with rattan or waxwood one. thank for asking

[kyusho1]

[chongyt94114]

I RECOGNISE THE MUSIC FROM once upon a time in china =) nice video, i'd really like to learn the three section staff.

[chongyt94114]

yes, master tat-mau wong is my sifu. I usually tape myself right after I learn the form so I can see all my mistakes and believe me there was a lot of room for me to improve on this form

[orihx3]

this is a choy lay fut form. do you study under tat-mau wong?

[jamesbuhls]

Your performance looks better than the one given by Master Wong on his DVD. Great job.
