The Four Basic Weapons
There are four basic kungfu weapons, two short ones and two long ones. All of
the other weapons derive from these four. These basic four bear a slight
northern accent. Some southern styles emphasize only two basic weapons: the long
pole and the butterfly swords. We will, however, honor these basic four, since
they are more universal.

Hidden and Flying Weapons
Hidden weapons are a fascinating sub-topic of Chinese weaponry. Used to expand
the range of offense beyond close combat, a great number of ingenious hidden
weapons were created to surprise the enemy. Small enough to be hidden in a
sleeve or robe, and particularly useful in a surprise attack or when you are
outnumbered, these are generally small weapons, with the exception of the bows.
