Check out the other Chain Whip or Chainwhip Videos at our ShaolinCenter UA-cam channel! Enjoy! :) It's Weekend Weapons at the ShaolinCenter UA-cam Channel: Click the Like button and SUBSCRIBE! Thanks! :)
I love that you posted another chain whip session and plan to do more with the shoots and attacks. I have been looking up other videos and looking at rope dart elbow shoots and such just to get an idea of what to incorporate into my form. I have watched your earlier tutorials many times over and am comfortable with all but the mad dog. I am do excited for more. THANK YOU JAKE!
Much better breakdown of techniques then I ever got when I was part of a school. I specifically like the emphasis on the fundamentals over flashy. Thank you.
Jake....BRILLIANT IDEA!! I have studied Kung Fu and weapons for over 40 years. And if we used padded weapons in our kwoon, we would be laughed at! Our kwoon is "old school." I saw your idea for using a stick and cord with a tennis ball. THAT IS A BRILLIANT IDEA! I am criticizing your videos at times, BUT if you have a good idea...I will support you in it! 💀 ( you really should have you students clean and polish your weapons, RUST is not good for the weapons, and it will teach the students to respect the weapons.
jake you amaze me every time. I love watching you. You are so good at these martial art defensive weapons. I just finished a 3 piece Bo Staff. Made from my Hickory Trees. I was making walking staffs but now I have made Nunchucks, Bo Staffs, and 3 piece Bo staff. All have stainless steel swivels and hardware too. My next project is a set of Tonfas. Hickory is a tough wood and will out perform pine, oak and cedar ! Thanks again for your expertise and knowledge !
i see this guy do a lot of chai whip videos. but without fail he never shows strikes, kicks, or anything more advanced than a couple of spins and a mad man.
ill say...imagine I couldn't wait to learn the chain art that I actually practised in a small room with furniture and obstacles in the way,,, since no park available in winter (Canada)...anyways...on the 3rd week of trying to understand *Faith* (the name of my chain whip) one hesitation and BOOM! a fk up!, attempting the "Neck Chain" technique as I call it...the chain literally wrapped itself around my neck....I just stayed still and Faith undid herself. But this was a lesson ,,perhaps a test after mocking her full potential.
Amazing instructional ...and for free ! The power of a Tiger and the heart of a Dove ! Took me years and cost me a small fortune to learn and this amazing guy gives his knowledge away for free
I just got a starter one. From a place called Chinesekungfustore, it is in Dengfeng china, and they supply Shaolin monks and martial artists with martial art supplies. I figured you might have a video on it.
VeganAthlete The students, watch them and see if they are any good or if they all look like they are relaxed and lazy and the level of skills they are using is sloppy, then that's what you will end up looking like. If most of the students look really good and I mean all levels not just black belts then you know your in a good school. The head of the school can tell you till he or she is blue in the face about how great and large the school is but it will all show in the students.
GREAT VIDEO,and i believe there is no need to chase away the beginner. i followed through to end n i got it. the difficult part is sweeping the chain from under your thigh, and making over elbow maneuver without getting smacked.
if your just getting started I like a large glow stick on the end of a nylon rope.. Instead of a tennis ball... it's more like the dart and heavier ...plus it looks cool if you practice at dusk or night
its a beautiful weapon, i have trained nunchucks, bow staff and tonfa and i love the grace and minimal effort. like all spinning weapons it leaves very large openings. it reminds me of a longer version of the chucks but I think it is worth adding to my repertoire simply for style :) like all spinning weapons the key to breaking the formation is to block it in close, the same way you use to stop it. but I doubt many people would have the timing. however its not a weapon i would carry with me in real life. I have enjoyed your video and the training steps are very similar to the ones I use so I give it a like :) To anyone else reading this message... the basic skills can't be taught. you either have it or you dont and that will be discovered in 30 secs. spinning weapons are not for everyone :)
This is actually useful I might be using this thx Jake. I watched this so many times I just never pay attention I just look at comments while I listen. Oh and my chain whip hasn't arrived yet but I did make a practice rope/chain dart/whip and it's pretty useful
Completely awesome, with that rate of fire it's very hard to get near you without getting hit, and at so little energy invested. Sometimes the best defense is a good attack.
Awesome! But @ 3:59 when you say beginners should get shin pads, I thought you said sh!t pads (like for training puppies) because a beginner would be scared sh!tless using this thing! Lolol! Srry, don't mean to drag down the conversation, just an honest mis-hear which cracked me up, both because it made sense - but also because it was just SO unexpected coming from you. Anyway, love your content, and your amazing positive attitude. People like you make UA-cam a better place. The world a better place. Thanks for what you do Jake!
Would you be able to use some of these movements with Kusarigama as well? I'm loving your breakdowns of techniques, they're so easy to follow! Thank You for sharing them on UA-cam.
I've been using the rope dart for about 10 years now, but I've never tried the chain whip. A lot of the movements look very similar. I am very interested in learning to use the chain whip. Do you think that because of my rope dart experience, I could just pick one up and go at it? I'm sure there's a weight and torque difference that I'd have to hey used to.
Can you upload a Video showing some Form/kata with the whip please. I have got the spinning and stuff so far but i do not know any Form or way to connect all the stuff other than just doing some freestyle spin on spin chain. Would love to see some nice Form. Thanks and greetings to you :-)
hey, first of all, great fan of the fighting stuff you do. the chain whip is a really cool weapon, but i was wondering... what do you do when you actually hit a target, or of it bloks the whip and the whip is out of inertia but the target ready to strike? could you do a video of consecutive whip hits on one of your targets, please? to demonstrate, cause is kind of a big weakness to the weapon
hi Jake love your videos learn a lot from them. I was wandering what size of chain whip do you use 50 inch or 58 inch and if they are heavy or medium weight ?
That was awesome , great video on the chain whip , I didn't know the chain whip was so cool , it looks like you get a good work out while practicing too , and I looks fun once you master it , thanks for introducing the Kung fu chain whip to me
The 9 section whip is very hard to use but I learn it makes a great choice of weapon cause it's so easy to hide and can break bones this why many battles in the passed rely on it the enemy does not see it coming
Hello, I have been searching for a chain whip like my instructors. He said he got it in San Francisco many years ago and when I looked up the shop you mentioned Brendan Lai it was closed :( I have bought others but there is nothing like the one he has lent me. What would you suggest?
Thanks!!great vid out of all the instructional videos I’ve seen or even out of the DVDs I’ve bought on the whip chain yours are the easiest to comprehend I saw several videos but it wasn’t until I started watching you did I start getting the techniques down Thanks your a great teacher
I would like to see how the technique is performed when you sit on the ground and swinging the whip under your body and you jump when the whip comes to the area where your sitting body is. So you have 50 % of the time when the whip enters the area where the body is and 50 % time when the whip enters the area where the body is not. Did I explain this clearly enough? It´s an odd technique from Shaolin. And why not work with 2 whips??
if i don't know martial arts can i still be trained to properly use the weapons used in them? if i could i would unfortunately i'm not the most fit person out there and well i'm quite short winded. however i have always had a fascination with weapons of this style and have always wanted to learn how to use them properly. i'm not trying to become some whip-weilding death machine, i would only need to learn the basics, a few strikes, and maybe a disarm or so. so would i be able to do it, or is martial arts training kinda required?
I am a wild food hunter and by far the Physalis Ground Cherry is by far one of my favorites along with the Paw Paw. Don't eat anything but the berry though and only if the berry is orange-yellow! :)
Lots of haters but I do appreciate your passion for the art and culture. Perhaps you've already done so, but you should consider working and living in China where you can gain a deeper understanding of the language people and culture. It will change your life. It changed mine.
Hey Jake,you are badass.I really enjoy your videos and I have been using them for training.You keep them very interesting.Please continue to make your videos for us,Mahalo!!
Physalis. Yum. When I saw the Chain Whip for the first time, it reminded me of Poi Spinning. Meteor Poi are safe and can be a good tool for beginners. You learn pretty fast and you can do a lot of moves with the Poi. The Chain Whip is not allowed in Germany like most of the Kung Fu weapons. But this doesn't matter, you can practice with Poi, too. Thanks for the lots of good instructions. _/|\_
Jake please show us that odd technique I mentioned earlier in this post. When monks do this it kind of looks like they say: " - Everything is going to be OK so celebrate New Year!!" :)
***GUYS and GIRLS... START BY FOLDING THE WHIP IN HALF AND LEARN SOME BASIC NUMB-CHUCK TECHNIQUES AND APPLY IT WITH THE CHAIN WHIP! the chain has a hole on the tilt of the handle USE IT ! fold the chain in half :) and when your a master, you will be ready to EXTEND! (like Ivy Valentine in SoulCalibur series says)...
Awesome video! im practicing in the begginer's way (like the other video :P ), at first i hit my head many times, it was hilarious XD... the song in the beginning reminds me the song on Shangain Noon "Cowboy baby" hahha!,.......it's really fun practice with the chain wip, i hope i can buy my own soon

a duck or something i am learning with the tennis ball and string. but like paperweaponry says, common sense and taking your time is key
+Kung Fu & Tai Chi Center w/ Jake Mace You forgot to mention to wear a cup as I know some people who have hit themselves there.
Will I t be okay If I start with a real steel chain tied to a lock?
you owe me a ceiling fan.
dude that is why you're supposed to do it outside
it was a joke.
Claymore77 oh ok lol I couldn't really tell because it was over the internet and I couldn't see your facial expressions lol.
Lmao omg😂😂😂😂😂
Literally laughed out loud. Witty shit man!
the country music and the kung fu is such an aesthetic
I love that you posted another chain whip session and plan to do more with the shoots and attacks.

Nice! The mad dog is tough to get but fun once you do!

Thank you and yes, fundamentals are key! Glad you liked the explanation and presentation! :)
Most of the moves I have already learned on the rope dart form.
It's really good to see someone explaining things properly.
Great vid, you're tempting me to go out and buy a chain whip!
Haha! Good!
Jake....BRILLIANT IDEA!!
I have studied Kung Fu and weapons for over 40 years.
And if we used padded weapons in our kwoon, we would be laughed at! Our kwoon is "old school." I saw your idea for using a stick and cord with a tennis ball.

Actually, failure is more scary than dying, dying is inevitable.
Grabaka Sennin only if you're not the one
But this youtuber gave his self strength by practicing others. Hes a master and mastered his self. Which makes him fearless just like Huo Yuanjia.

Agreed I'm not scared of death I'm only scared of one of two outcomes that could happen after death
I respect the fact you make the beginners stop and practice to keep them from getting overwhelmed

GET OVER HERE!
XionixZTV but cooler
You´re simply so effortless in you techniques. :)
I used to take cha yon ryu but the school where I practiced was shut down. your videos make me want to get back into martial arts. they are amazing
Great lesson Jake. Thanks again.
What is the MOST IMPORTANT thing to keep in mind when choosing a Martial Arts school to join? Tell me below!
VeganAthleteVeganAthlete Probably the seriousness of the school, but idk, what do you think?
VeganAthlete That the instructor isn't just a good fighter, but a good person.
VeganAthlete The students, watch them and see if they are any good or if they all look like they are relaxed and lazy and the level of skills they are using is sloppy, then that's what you will end up looking like. If most of the students look really good and I mean all levels not just black belts then you know your in a good school. The head of the school can tell you till he or she is blue in the face about how great and large the school is but it will all show in the students.
Let the class choose you.
What does that mean let the class choose you lol
In your vid about guns you said the weapons are earned in stages what stage is this
What city are you watching from??? Tell me below!
VeganAthlete Winter Park, FL (though I'm originally from Kennett Square, PA)
philipines
VeganAthlete Jake why did u make another channel?...😕
Kamloops!
VeganAthlete Toledo but I wish I was where you were lol

You're a very good example of what an "authority" is on a subject. In the good sense I mean.
Thanks for sharing these videos. :)
if your just getting started I like a large glow stick on the end of a nylon rope.. Instead of a tennis ball... it's more like the dart and heavier ...plus it looks cool if you practice at dusk or night
When will you release a video explaining the "Chain Nae Nae"?
Devoted Defender Boooooo
its a beautiful weapon, i have trained nunchucks, bow staff and tonfa and i love the grace and minimal effort. like all spinning weapons it leaves very large openings. it reminds me of a longer version of the chucks but I think it is worth adding to my repertoire simply for style :) like all spinning weapons the key to breaking the formation is to block it in close, the same way you use to stop it. but I doubt many people would have the timing. however its not a weapon i would carry with me in real life.

+Kung Fu & Tai Chi Center w/ Jake Mace would you please show some use of the chain whip? Like striking, grabbing, blocking, etc. ?
Could you demo destroying some watermelons or cans with it?
Exactly my thoughts, striking demonstration.
Yes, we did that! Check it out Here: ua-cam.com/video/whuBjeGxQig/v-deo.html
watermelons ? what a waste of food....
Jake, aren't you in Phoenix, Arizona? There are grass and trees there?
Completely awesome, with that rate of fire it's very hard to get near you without getting hit, and at so little energy invested. Sometimes the best defense is a good attack.
Is it a thing to just time the swing and Change your direction (180) without moving or disrupting the direction of chain whip?
🤔
Awesome! But @ 3:59 when you say beginners should get shin pads, I thought you said sh!t pads (like for training puppies) because a beginner would be scared sh!tless using this thing! Lolol!
Srry, don't mean to drag down the conversation, just an honest mis-hear which cracked me up, both because it made sense - but also because it was just SO unexpected coming from you. Anyway, love your content, and your amazing positive attitude. People like you make UA-cam a better place. The world a better place. Thanks for what you do Jake!
Excellent technique.
could you make video explaining why when where
and mb what age u were when u started practicing kung fu?
Would you be able to use some of these movements with Kusarigama as well? I'm loving your breakdowns of techniques, they're so easy to follow! Thank You for sharing them on UA-cam.
That’s exactly the way I do it although I don’t use a whip I use my third leg 😂
BBC? 👀
Great video!! Love the area... Thanks for showing use how to use the chain whip.... Who filmed? Great JOB!!!!
I've been using the rope dart for about 10 years now, but I've never tried the chain whip. A lot of the movements look very similar. I am very interested in learning to use the chain whip. Do you think that because of my rope dart experience, I could just pick one up and go at it? I'm sure there's a weight and torque difference that I'd have to hey used to.
Does the chain whip work the same as the chain knife (ninja assassin (movie)) i'm trying to get the basics for my cosplay costume
I am about the same height and weight and was wondering:
the length of your whip, and which weight you chose, medium or heavy.
Can you upload a Video showing some Form/kata with the whip please. I have got the spinning and stuff so far but i do not know any Form or way to connect all the stuff other than just doing some freestyle spin on spin chain. Would love to see some nice Form. Thanks and greetings to you :-)
Aside from showiness, what is the advantage of neck changes? Surely breaking visual contact with an opponent is a bad idea?
it is a last ditch effort to hit an opponent who quickly closes in on you
JAKE I LIKE ALL YOUR VIDEOS LEARN A LOT THANKS
hey, first of all, great fan of the fighting stuff you do.
the chain whip is a really cool weapon, but i was wondering... what do you do when you actually hit a target, or of it bloks the whip and the whip is out of inertia but the target ready to strike? could you do a video of consecutive whip hits on one of your targets, please? to demonstrate, cause is kind of a big weakness to the weapon

The 9 section whip is very hard to use but I learn it makes a great choice of weapon cause it's so easy to hide and can break bones this why many battles in the passed rely on it the enemy does not see it coming
Great lesson
Your video's are awesome
Its amazing. I learnt lot of things from you.
Awesome control of chain whip¡ great Job

Jake mace I like your videos. You are really good. Might I ask who your sifu was?
por onde andaste irmao,estava sumido
Do you train all the moviments of the weapons with both hands??
I want to know if it's really necessary to train with my horrible left hand
dude if you don't then it will always be horrible
oh god I really hope you didn't mean a medical problems
Those gold-colored fruits are "Physalis".
They're delicious.
Yes!
I am a wild food hunter and by far the Physalis Ground Cherry is by far one of my favorites along with the Paw Paw. Don't eat anything but the berry though and only if the berry is orange-yellow! :)
Holy Hell this is littearly the most sattisfying and amusing thing to watch!
Awesome, Jake, well done. You're a breath of fresh air for the spirit!
Lots of haters but I do appreciate your passion for the art and culture. Perhaps you've already done so, but you should consider working and living in China where you can gain a deeper understanding of the language people and culture. It will change your life. It changed mine.
Awsome chain whip skills Jake... :P
hey guys ! does one of you know how to choose a chain whip ? i only trained with the ones of my school but i want to buy it myself...
hello, Where can I order such a chain???
so I'm pretty short... does this simply mean i'll have to hold my hand up higher? are there specific chain lengths you're supposed to get?
As long as at shoulder height, it doesn't touch the ground. You should be good, since anything too long or short will be difficult to use
bryan workman If you use the rope dart, you can have a much longer range and length
Do you train both hands?
How do you do that at 0:29?
Hey Jake,you are badass.I really enjoy your videos and I have been using them for training.You keep them very interesting.Please continue to make your videos for us,Mahalo!!
Very nice buddy! Love your styles!! Crack up. What about rope dart?
Shifu, in my taolu i want kick the chain for make a pierce attack. How i can do this?
Physalis. Yum. When I saw the Chain Whip for the first time, it reminded me of Poi Spinning. Meteor Poi are safe and can be a good tool for beginners.

what is a Poi ? I may want to make one now. Thanks. Got In Himmel !
Where do you get your plants
where do u buy the chain whip
Nicely done!
Muchas gracias!!! WAW!!
That berry in the husk is called "appeliefie" in Afrikaans. it makes a neat jam, or jellie as it is known in the states.
3:27 - Yep, looks like 90 degrees to me. The weather, not your arm...
Really great video!!!
Ground Cherry! :D Those things are amazing. Where did you find them? I can only find them wild, and it's difficult where I live.
Great Work
awsome video brother
Awsome Video, very clear communication. Also I think you make a great cooking show host... with that food eating, and wheat grass energy drink haha.
Jake please show us that odd technique I mentioned earlier in this post. When monks do this it kind of looks like they say: " - Everything is going to be OK so celebrate New Year!!" :)
can you do a training like master wong fei hung
Do they use this in pak mei Kung fu
