9 Section Chain Whip (Jie Ban)

A variety of chain whips are used throughout China. Common varieties include three, five, seven, nine, ten or twelve steel bars, chained together with a metal or wood handle and a sharp metal head which (today) represents a bullet. Because of the whip's flexibility, it can be easily hidden. The sectional whip can be manipulated with the elbow, knee, foot, or neck, which gives this weapon innumerable techniques. The whip is best used as a stabbing weapon, however sweeping is also a common technique. Use of the sectional whip began around the Song Dynasty (960 AD - 1280 AD).
