Weapons - Flail  耞 Other names:  two-section staff; Sweeper or Broom (稍子 or 掃子). Pyeongon in Korean. Rentsuru in Japanese.

Versions taught: Shaolin (Grandmaster Wing Lam). I have seen two Chen Family Tai Chi Chuan stylists work with a flail but have not (as of April 2021) located a canonical form or found anyone who even says that there is such a form.  Recommendations: learn nunchaku and staff first. Cost: varies from $40 to $60 or more. Links to very short video movies 1.
