The'weapon Tzizzuan

The classic Tzizzuan weapon is useful not to hurt, but to defend oneself: it is a bamboo cane, but not a sharp one. It has several uses: 

- to defend oneself against flying objects, making the cane spin;

- to defend oneself against passes from other weapons;

- only in case of extreme necessity the bamboo cane can be used to attack.
 
Once you have found the inner peace, the cane can bring forth the powers of nature: the more advanced in your search you are, the stronger your weapon becomes. The teacher is able to bend to his will all the elements but mainly water, fire, earth and air. The earth is the most easy to handle: it is brute force, something easy to discover. The following steps are the easiest to perform:

- "Slash ROCK" We need to create a circle with your weapon, and, as quickly as possible, push it downwards, slicing through the air.

- "TORNADO or Sandstorm" We need to rotate the cane faster and faster, then hurl it as far as possible. The name of this move varies, depending on which of the many Tzizzuan tribes you will refer to.
