no new collars & not waiting for Geobra,
I finished red-trimming my boxers' clothes (with Arnaud's transfers) and armed with Tahra's Zhang Kun(s)

Very smart indeed, cheng.  :wave:  They need someone to fight now.

Cool stuff, cheng.  :) How were these used though? Were they just blunt weapons that were very long, or did they have specific use or skill associated with them?

many kung fu sxhools used them, from shao lin to wing chun(Bruce Lee's 'roots'), I suppose they could kill with head strikes but definitely not effective in the Boxer wars...some Kung fu schools refused to use western guns and also their disciples were made to believe they were bullet-proof  :(
