The Three-Sectional Staff, Triple Staff, Three-part Staff, Sansetsukon in Japanese, or originally Sanjiegun (Mandarin Pinyin: san jie gun; Jyutping: saam1 zit3 gwan3), is a Chinese flail weapon that consists of three wooden or metal staffs connected by metal rings or rope. Also known in Japanese as sansetsukon, the weapon is also known as a "coiling dragon staff," or in Chinese as a "pan long gun". A more complicated version of the two section staff, the staves can be spun to gather momentum resulting in a powerful strike, or their articulation can be used to strike over or around a shield or other defensive block. The three section staff is said to have originated from Master Sanda of the Honan Temple. Although there is no historical evidence to support it, a popular modern day legend states it was made popular by Chao Hong-Yin, the first Emperor of the Song Dynasty (960 A.D.).
