      @@bensbikex510 actually not really, if you think you are going to hit yourself with the 3 section staff just spin and keep the momentum till it slows down as you slow down since that freezing up or sudden stop is what's going to get you hit as the other sticks on the chain are still in motion but still more controllable than a nunchaku and more useful.
      Lets not argue about practicality as lets be real here you are not carrying either of these in public over say a gun or a trusty knife unless you are going to a demonstration or a martial arts school as its just not practical even if you are proficient plus the legality of such stuff differs from place to place. But a weapon carry license covers just about any weapons that you don't need a tax stamp for (for some reason people mostly use them for guns and not using other weapons as fashion statements like long sword in a back scabbard as a example), if you are not sure of the legality of a weapon if you can't find it online however if you can't find the legality online usually it is not illegal to carry

      In my state you can carry them anywhere as long as they are unconcealed meaning that they have to be in plain view for everyone to see. It gets a little annoying cause people always walk up to me and go "Woah is that a real three section staff?" "Do you know how to use it?" "Can you show me some moves?" "Can I hold it???"

      In short...No,
      However in an old weapons history book some years ago,I came across a few examples of some three sectional staffs that had on one end added an extra section that was about 6” long...1/4 the length of the other 3 so that all three sections could be swung over head simultaneously by the single handed “handle”
      But it was still listed as a “3 section staff” although...technically it was 4
      It’s still just a “sanjiegun”
      The book “claimed” that farmers could do this “swing all three over head” and ward off wild boar.
      *cough cough bull shit*

    • @yeetlordentertainment3937
      @yeetlordentertainment3937 2 роки тому +1

      You might be surprised to find that this is achievable in far, far less time than that. If you solely learned the 3 section staff, and for whatever reason had a capable teacher willing to start you out with a triple staff, you could achieve this level of skill in 4 years, maybe less, so long as you practiced well. Most kung fu masters with many years of training have mastered kicks, punches, forms and stances, grappling techniques and weapons. If one weapon took 20 years, you'd never find a master who knew more than a few. This man may have 20 years of training, but most of it was not focused on the triple staff, and he likely learned other weapons and techniques prior that allowed him to more easily learn this. If you were already adept in the pole, you could cut a full year or more off the time needed to learn the triple staff.
