Dangpa
Dangpa is the Korean name for a trident (three-pronged spear) first described in the Muyejebo, a Korean martial arts manual of the Joseon Dynasty (published 1610).
Types
There were several types of dangpa, like the iron dang pa, called cheolpa (철파, 鐵鈀) and the wooden dangpa, called mokpa (목파, 木鈀). The two outer teeth of the cheolpa would be slightly crooked. The teeth of the mokpa were made of wood, but covered with iron.
The middle tip would always be slightly longer than the two other tips. This design was intended to lessen the chance of the weapon becoming stuck in an opponent's body.
At the other end of the pole would be a sharp tip as well, in the event that two-handed combat with the dangpa became necessary in battle - this way soldiers fighting with the dangpa had fighting edges on both ends of the weapon.
Techniques
In the Muyedobotongji one set of techniques is given. This form of 22 movements is called dangpa chongbo (당파총보, 鐺鈀總譜) accompanied by a diagram to explain the same form called dangpa chongdo (당파총도, 鐺鈀總圖).

by: DonkeyboyI got a plan and I'll stay on my own
I got a dream that I should let go
Waiting for the day to come
I know, I got a player that is out of control
You gotta stay on my radio
Waiting for the day to come
And I know
Spill it on fire and gold
How could I lose control
Cause it's you and I higher than all
Fire is going away
You're a star now stay on your own
I feel you spin my life outa control
I gotta work it out, take it away
I gotta feel every word you say
I'm waiting for the day to come
I know, I feel I keep crossing the line
And it feels like a crime zip-line
Waiting for the day to come
And I know
Spill it on fire and gold
How could I lose control
Cause it's you and I higher than all
Fire is going away
You're a star now stay on your own
I feel you spin my life outa control
And I know...
And I know
Spill it on fire and gold
How could I lose control
Cause it's you and I higher than all
Fire is going away
You're a star now stay on your own
I feel you spin my life outa control
Spill it on fire and gold
How could I lose control
Cause it's you and I higher than all
Fire is going away
You're a star now stay on your own
