- Muchi (Whip)
- [1] 11,500 Ryo
- The muchi consists of a handle between 8 and 12 inches in length, and a lash composed of a braided thong between 3 and 15 feet long. At the end of the lash is the "fall" and cracker or popper. The fall is a single piece of leather between 10 and 30 inches in length.
- Guan Dao
- [1] 15,000 Ryo
- Can be seen as a type of pole arm. The blade is mounted atop a 5–6 foot long wooden or metal pole with a pointed metal counter weight used to balance the heavy blade and for striking on the opposite end. The blade is very deeply curved and therefore unlike most pole arms, solely useful for sweeping cuts where it relies on range and power.
- Qijiebian (seven section whip)
- [1] 12,500 Ryo
- This weapon has a handle at one end and a metal dart, used for slashing or piercing an opponent, at the other. A cloth flag is often attached at or near the dart end of the whip and a second flag may cover the whip's handle. The flag or flags adds visual appeal and produces a rushing sound as the whip swings through the air. They also help stabilize the whip, enhancing the user's control.
- Furaingukurō (Flying Claws)
- [1] 9,000 Ryo
- It consists of a 25 feet long rope with a metallic claw attached to its end. Similar in nature to the Muchi, its often more than not used to try and throw the opponent off balance along with the fact this weapon can also be used as a makeshift grappling hook.
- Jōhyō (Rope Dart)
- [1] 13,000 Ryo
- The rope dart is a long rope 10-16 feet with a metal dart attached to one end. This was a weapon from ancient times, which allows the user to throw the dart out at a long-range target and use the rope to pull it back. The rope dart can be used for twining, binding, circling, hitting, piercing, tightening, and other techniques.
- Shuang Gou (Hook Swords)
- [2] 50,000 Ryo
- Also known as "tiger hook swords" or qian kun ri yue dao - literally "Heaven and Earth, Sun and Moon sword", these weapons have a blade similar to that of the jian, though possibly thicker or unsharpened, with a prong or hook near the tip. Guards are substantial, in the style of butterfly swords. Often used in pairs, the hooks of the weapons may be used to trap or deflect other weapons. There are five components to the hook sword:
- The back, which is used as a regular sword.
- The hook, which is used to trip enemies, catch weapons and for slashing.
- The end of the hilt, which is sharpened.
- The crescent guard, which is used for blocking and slashing.
- The link, which is used when using a pair. The two hooks can loosely connect, and the wielder swings one hook sword, in a way that the second is extended further out, almost six feet. While the second is in the air, the dagger upon the hilt slashes the target. In this way, the wielder can extend their reach out from three feet to six.
