Yup. That's an oar.
I found this on Research of Martial Arts Facebook Page. The description is best said by one of their replies to a comment:
"This
weapon is called an 'Eku'. It is a traditional wooden oar used for
paddling and boat racing throughout Southern China and the Japanese
Ryukyu Islands (Okinawa among them). Because this has been a common
household instrument for centuries, it has become one of the prominent
weapons in the traditions of Okinawan Kobudo."
Makes sense. Though I have to admit, I haven't seen this before. Very cool!
Enjoy!
