Kamatuuran 3 Sectional Staff

[tuturuhan]

Enclosed is a video of the 3 Sectional staff vs the guando. Like the Nunchucku, it is a weapon that is very very hard to control. As soon as it strikes it bounces back.

Most people (who even attempt it) can only use it in sets and two man routines. A true weapons master can pick up any weapon and use it to fight with.

I wasn't too impressed by the video clip. There was only 1 or 2 defensive moves used by the practitioner and they were kinda sloppy- just my 2 cents

A true weapons master, that person weilding the 3 section staff was not. The second video was much better quality weapons work.

To be fair the first one was a free flow and the second a pre-arranged two man form. That being said, in the first clip the three-section staff user would have been toast if the guy with the qwan do was aggressive and actually attacked by closing distance and not feeding quarter speed attacks.

Very good points!

In the first clip the guy is treating the staff as though it is a wet towel and his left hand is dead to the world just holding the staff. In the real world that hand would be covering the centerline with the last rod of the staff- instead, it is just an anchor. But, it is hard to base any real judgement only having this clip to gage by. BTW- the sound effects are annoying not intimidating.

I would say that the same principles about knife and staff talked about in the clip below are being used in the three-sectional staff video above:

It's hard to tell from the 3SS vs. Kwan Do video but I would say that the techniques are being pulled about 85%. I view it as a "walk through." Here they're being pulled a little less but still they're both going pretty slow:

Given that he's pretty much touching his partner at will I'd hate to feel it when he ramps up the volume...
