This Chinese Spear Tassel is the Horse hair need for spears in Chinese Martial Arts like Shaolin, Tai Chi, Wushu, and Hung Gar
Pre modern times have seen spears exist at some point in almost every civilisation’s history, especially warring states. It’s a really simple weapon to manufacture and repair. The Chinese Kung Fu Spear is no exception to this and spears have existed in China for over a thousand years. Attached between the metal spear head and the wax wood staff is the Chinese Spear Tassel, also commonly called Horse hair. These days actual Horse Hair is very uncommon and synthetic nylon Horse Hair is the norm.
It's now decorative but in warring times would have been used to help stop blood from running down the shaft and making it all sticky. Gruesome but very practical.
At Enso Martial Arts Shop we now have one of the widest selection available with 6 different colours for sale, red is the standard colour, most widely seen, as it matches it's gruesome past, but other colours are much more popualr in China to help highlight different clubs and schools. They are perfect to match club colours, or even a particular outfit in a demonstration or competition. Pretty easy to change out if you want.
“So good to finally have a big selection of Horse Hair for spears now at Enso Martial Arts, perfect to stand out from the crowd, match club colours or just be different. ”
Doug Swift – Owner of Enso Martial Arts Shop
