9 Joint or 11 Joint Iron Whips
The nine-section whip, regarded as a 'powerful hidden weapon,' was first used on the battlefield during the Jėn Dynasty (265-420)
The Iron whip is a weapon used in some Asian martial arts, including Chinese Martial Arts, in addition to modern and traditional wushu. 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 or flags enhance a wushu performance by adding visual appeal, and by producing a rushing sound as the whip swings through the air. They also help stabilize the whip, enhancing the performer's control. This reduces the performer's risk of inadvertently striking himself/herself.
