That is, technically, called a chul bong (rope staff (literally string staff)). A tahn bong is any stick from the size of a Kubotan to about the length of the arm from the elbow to about 2" past the fingertips. This is a half of a noonchawk, which is called ssang chool bong in Hangeukmal
This is one of those great self defense weapons that are proprietary to Hapkido and makes me want to learn this style. The other self defensive tool being the cane.
While some of the spinning and strikes using the string are fairly particular to Hapkido, a lot of the joint manipulations can be tied back to gun-sen techniques and possibly come from one of the foundations of Hapkido: Daito-ryu Aikijujutsu. Gun-sen also had tassels similar to a dan bong but there is no direct tie to them being used for the same reasons.
Unfortunately none of its pragmatism was demonstrated here. Would have liked to have seen that. In the Western world, it's just a truncheon with one move. Hit to the face or head. Usually made out of wood.
Depends, on your hand size. It should be customized to fit your hands. For a thumb loop, the stick should be wrapped around once on the back of the hand and the stick should rest perfectly in palm of your hand without any part of the stick protruding out on the bottom of your hand. Good luck!
A corded tahn bong is called a chool bong (literally "string sraff") but referred to as a rope staff. Two sticks is known, in Okinawa, as the noonchawl but is a ssang chul bong in Hangeul/Hangeukmal

Wow. This is impressive. I look forward to videos demonstrating joint locks and strikes. Please?
Very practical weapon

Nice.... how long is the cord?

As per below but have about 6cm protruding past the hand for major pain compliance.
This is something different.. rope stick .. something between a okinawan nunchaku and a japanese short stick..
I trained short stick but not rope with short stick.
anything without the cord?
Dan bong can be used without the cord, but you can't spin it.
