Kung-fu weapons

[GTF]

i have just started Kung-fu and am trying to find out as much about it as possible and i was wondering if anybody could tell me something about the weapons used

Simple answer: There are lots of them.

In all seriousness, almost any martial arts weapon you can think of is trained in kung fu. Some exceptions are katana and nunchaku, which are traditionally only used in other martial arts. That being said, even those are starting to make their way into kung fu schools because of teachers being cross trained or the students themselves.

all things may become a weapon in the hands of someone trained in kung fu...at least, that's what i hear.

yeah, pretty much everything is a weapon to someone who knows kung-fu.some weapons are kung-fu only though, like a wudang sword, and i think that no other Martial Arts use the horse-tail whip (but im not sure).
