JIU JIE BIAN NINE SECTION WHIP CHAIN
It consists of several metal rods, which are joined
end-to-end
by rings to form a flexible chain.
Generally, the whip has a handle at one end and a metal dart,
used for slashing or piercing an opponent, at the other.
A cloth flag is often attached at or near the dart end of the whip,
and a second flag may cover the whip's handle.
The flag helps stabilize the whip, enhancing the performer's
control, and to distract the opponent.
Soft Weapons are distinguished by their Flexibility;
which is achieved either by using a soft material like
leather or rope, or by linking sections of harder
materials together into a chain.
The flexibility allows for a number of important advantages:
These weapons are easy to carry and easy to conceal,
they are light and manuverable and are capable of striking
at a great range.
