Weapons – Pole (Jangbong 장봉)
The Pole (Jangbong in Korean) requires many hours of practice (by yourself) to get the required co-ordination. You just have to put in the hours. Try target practice (leaves on a tree?) to ensure you can control the pole. Practice striking at different ranges (short, long) and practice changing from long to short and back to long. Also practice blocking strikes using the pole.
Korea´s oldest weapon, the pole, has its roots in family or tribal martial arts. When ancient fighters discovered they could keep their enemies at bay with long sticks, the pole became the primary weapon. After metal blades were developed, staffs were still important among selected groups, such as farmers and Buddhist monks.
In Korean the pole is called a Jangbong.
