SR Systems - Black Dragons Kung Fu Fans

The use of fighting fans is a common practice in the Chinese martial arts kung fu and wushu, in Japanese martial arts, like Ninjutsu and some forms of karate, and in Korean martial arts because of their beauty that obscures their use as a weapon and wide leaf that hides their user's movements from the opponent. How they became a part of Asian martial arts basically stemmed from their popularity among the people in East Asia, which makes them easy to not look like a weapon but, rather, a simple hand fan to an unsuspecting enemy.
