Advanced Three Sectional Staff: Kung Fu Weapon of Self-Defense Paperback – June 1, 1985

It handles introduction, and management of 3 section staff, it includes a form to handle it.

While its very obvious that Eric Lee knows what he's talking about, the physical size of the book itself, makes it hard to view the page & follow the technique. The book is very long though, so while its small in size, its not small in information. An idea I had though, was to scan the pages for the things I really wanted to learn, enlarge them and print them out at home. Then I can tape them up on the wall & follow along. I would never sell the copies, as a self-published author (for fun), I want Eric Lee to make all the money he can (and he could really twist me into a pretzel if I did)"What?? You've never seen a foot-uppercut?"-Adam Sandler as Zohan.

Advanced Three Sectional Staff is well written, and illustrated. The title could be somewhat misleading, because the book opens with the basics, and moves to the advanced. It is written from the standpoint of the use of the weapon in practical self defense, as opposed to the showy moves in wushu demonstrations. As the author points out, some formal training should be recieved. It will save you a lot of unnecessary and painful bumps and bruises from your own weapon, as you master it's use. I would highly recommend the foam training version of the staff for the beginner. It is weighty enough for a realistic training experience, until you are comfortable enough with your skills to move on to the the hardwood staff.

I love the way the book breaks down the moves and strikes. And also the way it shows you how the move is suppose to work. the pictures are great.

Gtreat start of skill sets.Flow of technicque explanation.Great set/pattern/form demo - only one but combined with rest of book is great first pass learning.

This book's definitely great for beginners who wished to improve their techniques in sanchaku. Each technique and kata is clearly illustrated, making it easier to understand the routines performed. Practical applications of three-section staff is also explained in details. If you had background basics in nunchaku and bo staff fightings, it would be easier to pick up the techniques in this book:)

This is a great book.

I really wanted to like this book, but the photos are often very difficult to make out, and the descriptions are also not precise. I have no idea how to do the form based on their combination, and I'm used to learning from books. This really needs a DVD, or it would be helpful to see it performed somewhere to make it less baffling. The three sectional staff is one of the most difficult weapons to use and it really deserves nuance, which you won't find here. Applications are at times laughable (against two swordsmen, for example), which doesn't really do honor to the weapon. Your time would be better spent learning online. Take the money you saved an buy some head protection while you're learning!

Does what it says on the tin, guide how to use big three sectional staff

三節棍の基本的な構え方から振り方、套路、そして各武器に対する迎撃法を解説しています。写真（図解）が大変多いので分かりやすいです。しかし、やはり套路の一部の動きは、静止画ではほとんど分かり辛いことも事実です。

very good it helps me a lot
