The two-section staff or changxiaobang (Chinese: 長小棒; pinyin: cháng xiǎo bàng; lit. 'long/short pole') is a versatile weapon which originated in China from the ancient Shaolin temple and Shaolin martial arts. It is a flail-type weapon which consists of a long staff with a shorter rod attached by a chain, to serve as a cudgel.[1]
