    Three Sectional Staff and Bruce Lee

    Hello! I am new here but have been enjoying the discussions for some time.

    Everybody associates Bruce Lee with the nunchaku but this isn't the only "flexible" weapon Bruce Lee trained with. Especially in the Seattle period, the three sectional staff seemed to have peaked Bruce Lee's interest.





    There are more pictures than these but couldn't find them right now on the internet as a link, so i will attach them to this message.

    My question is does anybody know where Bruce Lee learned to use the three sectional staff? The weapon obviously does not exist in Wing Chun or the other southern arts he would have been exposed too. This question also applies to his usage of the spear which there are some Seattle era pics of him with the spear (much like the above ones)

    An interview with Patrick Strong who was a original Bruce Lee student, he also recalls in a interview "He would often demonstrate a three-section staff form and, of course, part of the Mook Jung (wooden dummy) form."

    Any information and discussion about Bruce Lee's connection to these traditionally Northern style weapons as far as what style/what Sifu, etc would be appreciated!!!!

    the three-sectional staff as well as all Chinese weapons, forms and styles of kung Fu were invented by Bruce Lee;






    of course, Bruce Lee was invented by Chuck Norris.

    Little known fact. Proper human birthing procedures (head first) have nothing to do with actual anatomical necessity. But actually is a result of Chuck Norris presenting beard first. The original term was not crowning, but bearding. However, it was changed in medical text shortly thereafter on account that no mere mortal will ever be born with such magnificent beardedness. In a related topic, Chuck's birth caused widespread controversy throughout China. To this day there are still those who believe him to be the reincarnated Guan Yu.

    There was a Northern teacher i HK that taught Bruce Lee some stuff in exchange for Cha-Cha lessons.
    Bruce Lee also used them in an episode of "The Green Hornet."
    (the cool one where he fights Mako in a "traditional Gung-Fu duel" to see who rules the Tong)
    "My Gung-Fu may not be Your Gung-Fu.
    Gwok-Si, Gwok-Faht"

    "I will not be part of the generation
    that killed Kung-Fu."

    ....step.

    Bruce Lee was formed after chuck norris masturbated into some raw liver.
    It has astounded science as to why he even died!

    The sperm+beef liver combo manifest into Bruce Lee should've had a shelf life at least as long as the third reich!

    my guess is that during their on camera appearance, Bruce Lee's neuroendochrinological system was so shocked by his direct exposure to Chuck Norris, that it counteracted the preservative nature of the sperm/liver amalgam, but only to create an unresolvable internal conflict of Chuck versus Chuck

    what pushed Lee over the edge into death, was that the universe could only contain even the fiction of Chuck being defeated for just so long before it back-lashed onto Bruce...

    yeah, bruce was a real wanker for his reasons around why he wanted Chuck in the fight scene for Return of the Dragon.

    at least, the way chuck tells it, as diplomatic as he is it still makes bruce seem petty.

    All the cool people use 3-sectional staffs

    3-Section Black Hardwood Staff - I'm sure Bruce would have gotten his 3-sectional staffs here.
