Favorite Chinese Weapon?

Spear (qiang) or Miao Dao

My Dear Friends,

I suppose I consider the Chinese short staff (essentially the equivalent of the Japanese jo staff) the most useful of the weapons for modern defense, being easy to improvise as well as to carry while out walking.

However, my personal favorite weapon would be the Chinese Darn Dao broadsword. Nothing like a razor-edge flipping around near your head at velocity to keep you on your toes while training.

Of course, I keep my training up in Glock-Fu as well.

“	Aren't nunchuks Japanese weapons- not Chinese??	”

No idea who did it first. Generally speaking, the Japanese style Nunchuku has the octagonal shape with hard edges, while the Chinese Nunchuku has a round cylindrical shape. It's not a rule for every case, but in general, it applies.

The Tiger Fork is my favorite weapon I don't know how to use ....yet.

The only weapon I have knowledge with that I enjoy is the Broadsword. The Staff is next!

Battle ax because no matter what they are my favorite weapons

Are you referring to the big tall battle ax that has a point on top, an ax head on one side and a hooked point on the opposite side of the ax head? Thats my favorite weapon. Or are you referring to the small hand held axes?

Cheung is the Chinese word for Spear

You'd call it a Cheung in Chinese or Spear in English, you wouldn't call it a Spear Spear,

That is a great weapon, the effectiveness of the dan dao and a staff to boot
