Help with the sectional staff

Hello

I seek knowledge about the sectional staff.

I have searched the net for material related to the sectional staff and have found very little besides a low quality video here and their, and scatted explanations of its history. I am a poor student looking to improve my skill with this devastating weapon, any help with a link to training excises or videos would be very helpful.

Please note, I have read the forms rules about asking for video links and know I am not allowed to, however I have been training myself on various weapons (bow, Poi, dart) and forms for well over 8 years now and practice with the sectional staff almost daily.

Thank you for any direction you may have

That's an interesting question. I suggest you find a knowledgeable instructor in your area.

You're welcome.

akira,

One can certianly try and work out weapons on their own, which you seem to indicate you're doing. After all somebody did so themselves.

But it's a very hard road.

I trained in the 3 sectional staff a long time ago, under an extremely qualified instructor. Even in those circumstances I almost knocked myself out from a mistake and I'm aware of even more extreme accidents. But those high risk movemements are also where all the real power of the 3 sectional staff lie.

Weapons always bite the student.

On the other hand, for a relatively obscure weapon with little practical use today, what's the rush to do it yourself.

Find someone qualified in a system that uses it (Chinese or Okinawan) and obtain structured training.
