Qimei Cudgel

Master Shi GuoSong demonstrates the oldest of the Shaolin hand weapons - the cudgel. Sometimes called the "ancestral weapon". Legend has it that it became famous after 13 cudgeling monks saved the Tang emperor. The cudgel can be used to channel the strength of the entire body and is famed for it's speed as fast as the wind.
