Member Chinatown Kid Posted November 7, 2010 Member Share Posted November 7, 2010 From what you describe it sounds like the Japanese weapon the Tonfa, one of the Japanese fighters in Heroes of the East used a combination of the Nunchucka and Tonfa to battle Gordon Liu in one of the matches.

Member kungfuandcoffee Posted November 8, 2010 Author Member Share Posted November 8, 2010 Thanks! Although his modified with blades, the standard weapon is a tonfa! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonfa Lance Burton ------------------------------- www.youtube.com/kungfuandcoffee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Michael L. Posted November 8, 2010 Member Share Posted November 8, 2010 You also sometimes see a much longer version of the tonfa (or guai) that is basically a crutch. That is supposedly where the Chinese term for the tonfa originates. The crutch is wielded more like a staff or spear, but the "handle" can be used to hook and pin the heads of other long weapon.
