It's also much harder to master than a standard two-section flail,
aka nunchaku, and can be used to fight mounted warriors from the
ground.

Anyway, I doubt that had something to do with censorship... Three
section staff is so much cooler...

If I remember right....(IIRR ???), that "3 section staff" is a "Bo' cha
ku.
And yes, it can fight lots of things. Believe it or not, it's just a bigger
flail, those in China use it to do things like seperate chafe and seed from
rice (watched it on tv the other note from a documentary).
