Covers the advanced techniques of the three-sectional staff. This book includes the author's training methods, a traditional form, and applications against other weapons. This description may be from another edition of this product.
This is a great book, and is well written. It has lots of details - leaves little to guessing - and shows some awesome techniques. The book also has strength training drills for wrists and upper body as well as drills to increase accuracy. The book includes a traditional form and the breakdown for the individual techniques in it. Also, at the end of the book, there is a lenghty section covering sparring drills between staff, spear, stick, sword, chain whip, and sword/shield. Excellent reference book, well worth the investment. I also recommend the accompanying DVD; you may have to look around to find it, but it helps the form make sense.
Excellent stuff
