👉 The bracket weapon, also known as the bracers or bracers and bucklers, is a defensive martial art weapon consisting of two long, curved metal rods or handles connected by a short, flexible strap. These weapons are primarily used for grappling and defense, allowing practitioners to immobilize opponents by wrapping the rods around their limbs or torso, effectively restricting movement. Bracket weapons are versatile and can be used in various combat scenarios, from close-quarters fighting to hand-to-hand combat, and are often integrated into other martial arts disciplines like judo, taekwondo, and Brazilian jiu-jitsu. Mastery of the bracket weapon involves not only physical strength and agility but also strategic positioning and timing to maximize its effectiveness in neutralizing an opponent.
