Single-Handed Weapon
Examples include the single escrima stick, short sword or knife;
(See the Knife Fighting Guide for tournament Knife Fencing
provided free on-line).
Two-Handed Weapon
Examples include the sword and staff.
Weapon In Each Hand
Examples include twin sticks, double knives, or short & long swords.
Weapon Changing Hands
The primary example is the nunchaku (hinged staff).
Weapon Leaving Hands
