Gong Du Yellow Turbans Polearm Infantry

Militia of Virtue

These martial arts students have mastered the use of the gun staff, known as the ‘grandfather of weapons’.

Effortless action means to act with the flow of nature rather than trying to impose an action against it, demonstrated by the graceful and organic parries of the staff as it mirrors the movement of the body.

Each action flows to the next, allowing them to swiftly switch between defence and attack and utilise the minimum amount of energy, so they that they never tire in battle.
