I've always wanted to get my hands on a BaGua Seven Star Bamboo Staff. I've never seen one, but I've heard the weapon is usually a piece of bamboo with 7 sections. The bamboo compartments are bored out from one end, so the bamboo ends up like a long, naturally capped tube. Then liquid mercury or cinnabar mixed with water is poured into it, filling one complete section of the bamboo. The open end is capped (I've never found out with what,) and voila! a weapon whose center of gravity can shift from one end to the other with a simple tilt or swing. Keep it close to the hand for defense, and swing it out to the end when you're aiming to crush skulls.

So yeah, any more info or pics or vids would be awesome.

I guess a modern version could be made from steel or something...

Wouldn't the mercury evaporate rather quickly? Shudder to think of the health risks.

I've always loved the spear umbrella that was made to counter the flying guillotine.

Sun and Moon Spear Blades
Mandarin Coin Blades
Nine Teeth Hooks
Heaven & Earth Blade - Note: I published the complete form of this unique weapon in Heaven & Earth Blade in our 2008 September/October issue. It's a basic form, simple to learn.

A corrections officer I know walks around work with a hot cup of coffee whenever possible. Never drinks it though.

That's a very good idea!

Thank you.

Well, this is why I'd like to know how the handle end was capped. Was it leatherized? Lacquered? What? IMO, if the mercury came out of the business end of the staff (say the bamboo broke), then it would be the opponent who would bear the brunt of the poisoning. Also, I've always wondered whether or not the mercury/cinnabar could actually get absorbed into the bamboo, giving it a "poison palm" quality.

If I could ever erase part of my memory, now would be the time

Also, I remember back in the 70s some of the chinatown triads used to use choppers or make-shift knuckle dusters from a palm-sized stick with nails hammered through them. I doubt anyone would need to go to the length of practicing forms with the latter, but thought I'd throw more wood on the fire!

seems like an oil and water mixture might work or maybe greased ballbearings.

speaking of that great Master of the "Naked Kill," Nicholai Hel, he once used a plastic I.D. badge, broken in half, using the sharp, rough edge to slit a terrorist's throat. (a credit card does the same thing, which is why wherever I go, I always carry plastic, instead of paper) A magazine, rolled up corrctly will crush a man's larynx, and if memory serves, a broken lightbulb.
Due to a former run-in with the authorities, I no longer carry conventional weapons, but such things as a metal ruler, steel Cross pens, sharpened keys, and other seemingly harmless objects on my person.

Today in China guards use these rubber clubs which look like some sort of sexual device. I can imagine that this is a rather demeaning way to get Rodney Kinged.

a man was recently hospitalized for playing some sort of ghey sexual "game," where his partner sodomized him with one of those things you use to fix a toilet..forgot what they're called.

They don't call it a plunger for nothing.
