Post your favorite Kung Fu weapon(s) and why.
Moo Moo
my favorite has always been the short to medium staff or tiger tail whip. Hu Wei Bian.
either single hand or both hands/double whip.
why:
1. there are some methods may be generalized to sword or other hand held weapon.
2. you won't cut or stab yourself by accident.

I like the staff. It's very versatile and basic

A man has only one death. That death may be as weighty as Mt. Tai, or it may be as light as a goose feather. It all depends upon the way he uses it....

Three Sectional Staff
"Don't Focus on the Fingers or You will miss all the Heavenly Glory!"
Morbicid-"Maybe some moves are made just so that, if u somehow manage to pull them off in a fight, u get some serious bragging rights.
Many famous fighters have done this (roy jones jr, chuck norris, Morbicid, etc)"
Without ME its just AWESO
Favorite to watch is either double whip chain, or double straight swords.
favorite to use is either staff or broadsword. most basic and very versatile.
Without ME its just AWESO

I am partial to the Broadsword myself. It has a nice hackibility feel to it!
I too want to learn the three sectional staff. I sort of have to someday, it was created by the founder of my style!
Those that are the most sucessful are also the biggest failures. The difference between them and the rest of the failures is they keep getting up over and over again, until they finally succeed.

I like the flexible stuff! 3 section, chain whip, rope dart and meteor hammer. Not the most practical but definitely the most fun. If I had to pick an absolute favorite it would be the 3 section staff cause on top of being tons of fun I could at least make some of the techniques work.

A smile.
sage with a slight flaw
Hmm well I've always had a knack for long weapons -- in terms of skill, I'm probably best at spear. I'm fairly tall so I've always felt comfortable using staff or kwan do.
But in terms of what I enjoy the most, I would have to say swords -- and I like the broadsword and straight sword equally, even though they have totally different strikes and feel. In my early kung fu years, I mainly used a broadsword, and I just loved the strong slashes and wide arcs of the movements. Then in later years, I got exposed to the straight sword and loved the more subtle thrusts and small cuts -- definitley relies on more finesse in my opinion. But I love using both of them -- there is something empowering about wielding a sword. Someday I'd love to learn a 2-handed sword.
