1) What is the metal bar that is sometimes seen in old bashers such as Hapkido & One Armed Boxer. Both Mao Ying & Wang Yu carry it around and use it as a weapon.
2) Is there any significance in the colour of sashes in films? Obviously in "Western" schools the colours denote ranks but in the films?
3) Very often the students all have the same (blue or black etc) uniform (Tang suit or T-shirt/pants) but the seniors don't...is it like "Plain Clothes" police? Lol ;-)
4) Why the cotton ties around the ankles of uniform pants?
5) Why resort to a weapon against empty hands sometimes - and this is a "hero" AGAINST a villain? As we say in the UK...it's just not Cricket! :-)

From what I understood when I watched Hapkido, the metal bar carried by Mao Ying is the symbol of the school, and if I remember well, some rules were carved on it, and that's why she strongly used aga

1) @ShawAngela is correct about the metal bar being a symbol of the school, some old schools have them, but I don't believe they're meant as a weapon, it was used that way for symbolic reasons. 2
