Talk:Three-section staff

message: i've heard that the first weapon Jet Li fought with on film was the 3-section staff.  His (supposedly) last martial arts movie, Fearless, has him using the same weapon in the final fight as well.
Interesting if true. When it does get confirmed it should be posted to Jet Li's page with a link here. -Dr Haggis - Talk 19:27, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

message: The three section staff's length is described in the following sentence: "The total length of the weapon is greater than that of the short single staff known in Japanese as a bō, about the same as the Chinese staff, the gun, creating a larger circle of available targets around the combatant." This sentence is unclear - is the staff's length greater than that of the bo, and the same as that of the gun, or is is greater than both that of the bo and the gun, which are of the same length? Anyway, it would be more useful if the actual length were written there, and only then compared to the length of related weapons. Unfortunately, I know very little about the subject, so can someone who knows those facts fill them in? 132.68.249.216 22:51, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It's clear, but it's terribly imprecise.  The gùn is not one particular length or shape, despite the incomplete article on the gùn (which describes only one type of staff in any detail).  One good thing about the gùn article is that it makes it clear that there are many different kinds of Chinese staves, which will account for different lengths, diameters, and shapes (tapered at one end, straight, etc).  The "length" sentence in this article needs to be clarified or removed. —Erik Harris 16:54, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  length of the staff 

message: There was a block about the three-section staff in popular culture. I have removed it. While sometimes these sections can be enlightening or somewhat interesting, this one wasn't. At the same time, it was poorly written and not worth the trouble of a re-write.

message: This is the main use of this self defence weapon, you never hold the middle part (thats for your opponent to "use") you can cut circulation real easy if you trap your opponent's nein in the joint, also hands, knees and feet  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.174.39.102 (talk) 19:20, 11 May 2018 (UTC)

thread_title:  Mini Three-section staff 

message: According to this: "Nowadays, the 3 section Staff is taught in various Kung Fu and Wushu schools. There is also an Okinawan version of the 3 section staff called a Sansetsukon that is used in Kobudo." there are two versions. How they differ I don't know. 89.201.201.113 (talk) 18:01, 14 November 2020 (UTC)
