Tekpi
The tekpi〔(''The Malay art of self-defense: silat seni gayong'', Sheikh Shamsuddin, North Atlantic Books, Jul 28, 2005 P.51 )〕 is a short-handled trident from Southeast Asia. Known as tekpi in Malay, it is called chabang or ''cabang'' (Dutch spelling: ''tjabang'' meaning "branch") in Indonesian,〔(''A MALAY-ENGLISH DICTIONARY'' (Google eBook), R.J. WILKINSON, 1901 P.246 )〕 siang tépi (雙短鞭 lit. "double short whip") in Hokkien, and trisul (ตรีศูล meaning "trident") in Thai.
The tekpi is believed to have been derived from the Indian trishula, a trident which can be either long or short-handled. The tekpi itself is occasionally referred to as a ''trisula'', especially in Indonesia. More than a weapon, it was also important as a Hindu-Buddhist symbol. Use of the tekpi probably spread with the influence of Indian religion and eventually reached Malaysia, Indonesia, Okinawa, China, Thailand, and other parts of Indochina. It is unknown whether the tekpi was brought to the Malay Archipelago directly from India or from several places simultaneously. The earliest evidence of the tekpi outside India suggests that it spread from Indonesia.〔(Comprehensive Asian fighting arts, Donn F. Draeger, Robert W. Smith, Kodansha International, 1980 P.181 )〕 Other sources propose that the tekpi was brought to Southeast Asia from China, but it seems unlikely for the Chinese to introduce an Indian weapon to a region already heavily influenced by the culture of India.
==Description==
The tekpi is made of iron or steel, the basic form of the weapon is that of a pointed, dagger-shaped metal truncheon, with two curved prongs projecting from the handle. The prongs extend from the hilt and are useful for grabbing away an opponent's weapon.
