The development of this weapon goes back as far as the Stone
Age. It is said that it was originally used to chase away lions
and tigers. This weapon is a stone tied to a palm fiber rope,
which can be 90cm, 150cm, 180cm, or 240cm in length. Shorter
Suruchin can be used to hit an attacker and Suruchin with a
long rope can be swung around and then wrapped around the attacker
to bring him down. This martial art was practiced in Okinawa
for a long time, and its technique was perfected by the influence
of the Chinese martial art "Muchi" (rod art). The
technique is also similar to the weapon used in "Ryusei"
in Chinese martial arts. Similar weapons are found throughout
the world.
