The rope dart is a flexible weapon consisting of a metal dart attached to the end of a long rope. Portable and easy to conceal, it can be used for both long-range attacks and close combat. Its strengths are sudden, hard-to-anticipate strikes. Practitioners often wrap the rope around parts of the body to manipulate the dart, allowing it to transition from circular motion into a straight, explosive strike. | Discover China

The rope dart or rope javelin (绳镖), also known as Jōhyō in Japanese, is one of the flexible weapons in Chinese martial arts. Rope dart play consists of twining, shooting, and retrieval. Twining and shooting can be done from any joint such as foot, knee, elbow, and neck. The rope is anchored on one hand and played primarily with the other hand. Skilful use of the rope dart can easily trick an opponent because the dart can shoot out very suddenly, from a person beyond immediate range. | Wing Chun
