Most of the patterns in the weapons section of the library were the result of simple curiosity and experimentation on my part. Almost everyone should have no problem with the poorman`s flail, because it is made primarily out of wood. I`ve been told that it makes a good practice weapon for martial arts. As with all weapons, please use with caution!
