👉 The jumping weapon, also known as the scorpion or whip, is a specialized throwing weapon used in various martial arts disciplines, particularly in Judo and Sumo. It consists of a long, flexible rod or whip attached to a handle, typically made of leather or metal. The user swings the weapon in a circular motion, creating centrifugal force that propels it forward with significant speed and distance. This technique allows the user to deliver powerful, precise strikes to an opponent's body or to knock them off balance. The jumping weapon is particularly effective in close-quarters combat, where its speed and reach can overwhelm an opponent before they can react.
