Tennis ball is actually pretty good when you're just starting in my opinion. It doesn't quite have the heft that you'll need to get used to but it helps a lot with just getting a feel for the motions.
I made my own just to practice, it is so satisfying smashing targets other than myself with it. Thank you for the video as I am learning alot more about it
@@jeffmorlen6504 It looks on me right on the screen here, Xolette has some idea (ua-cam.com/video/RivBQxTVxYg/v-deo.html), basically monkey fist. Seriously, don't go with any hard weight at first because I did today, clocked my shin and my dick and it was very unpleasant, 0.5kg piece of steel can land like Thor's hammer.
The amount of skill that these two have is astounding. And the speed at which he picks up the basics of this unusual weapon also seems very impressive.
@uncletigger UA-cam is a horrible reference though lol. But spear does NOT beat sword. Person beats person. Both weapons can very effectively destroy each other. Especially if one persons intent is to destroy their opponents weapon to disarm them.
@uncletigger This post feels like a literal shit show. Army reserves means nothing here. And a year of kendo doesn't mean much. That is about 1-2 belts worth of training traditionally. Saying that your bokken (regardless of stance) was "impossibly fast" is pretty BS. Especially considering they are about the same weight (bokken vs butterfly blade). If he couldnt strike you and you could him then i guarantee it had nothing to do with experience or length of weapon. He was just simply unskilled. And if he couldnt get his guard up, well another huge proof he was unskilled as guard should be maintained at all times ESPECIALLY with butterfly blades. Spear vs most swords comes down to the people using the weapon. ANY person using a METAL sword vs a WOODEN haft on a spear can damage the spear enough to render it useless. The goal when using a shorter weapon is to wear down the opponent using a longer one. Or destroy their weapon. All longer weapons are more susceptible to damage that renders them useless in contrast to smaller weapons built for durability. As for your reference to using shiai with a bokken to counter butterfly blades, did you see that somewhere? Army reserves dont train with bokkens, and most kendo schools dont until after 6 belts. And uhm, butterfly blades counter ANY katana stance beautifully. Especially considering they are designed for a significant defense that would destroy the edge on 90% of katanas. And completely obliterate a bokken. 20 years of martial arts and a blacksmith here. But again that experience means nothing. In weapons training, if you actually ever do any, one of the basics is training against weapons of various lengths. In short everything you said is BS or stems from opinions of someone with no actual training
@uncletigger I am so sorry that i was rude to you. Someone who is clearly full of shit regarding subjects that have clearly been pieced together by a lack of knowledge. For if you had been knowledgeable you wouldnt have spelled out all of this detail trying to convince someone that already called you on your shit. Anyway on to the response. That wall of text is sickening when its full of so much BS. As you so eloquently put it "Child", your story is made up. Claim facts all you want. Your shinai wouldnt be near fast enough even with range compared to a trained martial artist with butterfly blades. ESPECIALLY when the mass of your training came from the shit the Army reserves teaches. So somewhere is a whole lot of BS. Be it you or this "trained" flatmate.
@uncletigger Btw, cheeky little person from a race of women looking men is INCREDIBLY rude as well as hatefully racist. Not that it bothers me in the least seeing as we are likely of similar nationalities. Seeing as how I am european, native american and irish. But by all means, i will get fucked, means even less coming from someone as full of shit as yourself
I never thought I would ever find such an amazing tutorial, that is positive reinforcing of my favorite Naruto weapon. When Gara becomes a teacher, and you see feel the compassion he has for his student, it gets me misty eyed just thinking about it. “I used to be the kid that wanted to pick up the heavy club (or Mace 😉) A Chakra fill ty to all involved.
Kill bill had a weapon sort of like this, if anyone remembers, except on the end was a mace... with steel spikes I believe. Now THAT'S a destructive toy
The target practice was lots of fun, and quite addictive. Could definitely get into that, leave some of the fancy twirly stuff and just get accurate and more power!!!
It's a very awesome weapon! I've trained and learned (still learning) 9 section chainwhip, which is often seen as a prerequisite to rope dart. Learning Rope Dart now, and it's like a snake that'll attack you if you don't do it right. 😂😂 Very awesome video, thanks for sharing!
Finally got into this today! Been watching Bruce lee movies since a kid and learned how to use nun chucks. Gotten pretty good at them with both hands and wrist rolls. Started today with a jump rope but decided to make a legit one since the jump rope was stretchy and sticks to you. Used some 3/8” power cord and tied the end to an old skateboard wheel. Siiiickkk. Finna try these tomorrow
Hey man, from your sub it meant I found your channel too. Looks like you've been making videos for ages. Not sure how I missed you. I love going Shaolin, it's really good to go and train there. Although I train in a school down the road now.
Even with a bad back, many of the other weapons can still be practiced without twisting forces onto your back. The forms we see in “forms competition” are choreographed to look good. To do that, they sweep the staff left & right through quite a wide angle. Depending what you want to learn weapons for. If just for practice, and possibly turning everyday objects into useful weapons in times of need, you don’t need to sweep the staff that way. In fact, one concept in martial arts is efficiency & conservation of energy. So once your staff is moving/rotating, you generally want to keep it rotating in that same direction until you diverted the direction elsewhere, or you Fa Jing into an explosive strike. (and the energy is spent & gone) When we rotate WITH the staff, we are not fighting its motions. There should not be “twisty energy” exerted on our spine. (Same reasons that kick combo’s tend to move in a direction that connects easily from one to the next, not changing direction needlessly.)
I've actually made a LARP boffer version of the meteor hammer with a somewhat small steel ball trapped in a monkey knot and then covered with an icosahedron made from thick EVA foam for extra safety. It worked great and I never managed to hurt anyone with it
In watching this, look more like trying to learn the meteor hammer, though the Dart and Hammer have similar styles if not the same. None the less good practice.
Once you practice enough, I'd LOVE to see you doing fire dart. It really is way too much fun. Just make sure you find some training in fire performances first though. Lol
For men, a smashed head is the second worst thing to happen. At least youll black out. A low blow would leave you basically catatonic for who knows how long...
@@DougSwiftLovesKungFu agreed especially those parts of your anatomy you might be really fond of and are more prone to pain and damage more than others...
I’m more of a swordsman..feels like just yesterday I was a kid swinging a stick at the weeds and bushes around my house and practicing my swordsmanship ahh how the time fly’s
I would love to come and have a practice with you guys. I started with Meteor Hammer technique a fews years back, but never found anyone to practice and share skills with, especially nearby in Brizzle!
Hi Xanth, was thinking about setting up an open training session in the new year. Getting lots of Kung Fu people together and training their own stuff. I'll probably put the details out on my Facebook page when I get it organised.
I started with a shard of obsidian tied up with Paracord and upgraded to a water bottle on Paracord. Started practicing every day with that water bottle
In the 1980's the wushu team said only crazy people did the rope dart. For safety, One word...MOTORCYCLE HELMET 😀. Does this proves that the British are a little off balanced? 😋😋
If you wanna do this but are scared of getting hurt you can make your own practice one using a marble some fishing string and something to put the marble in so you can tie multiple knots to keep the marble from flying out or off the string
I remember when I was little and made my own rope dart (ignoring the “don’t try this at home” warning). I was so happy when I actually hit something with it
Late to the party but MAN that was so cool! All of you really made that look so easy :D And i reckon that even the spinny stuff has it's combat purposes, even if it's just for intimidation. A really nice and elegant weapon to learn!
came here from a Modern Rogue video and they assumed that it helps with defence along with keeping the momentum and potential energy of the weapon high.
@@codyhess7749 Seeing how they could launch an attack from pretty much every angle and with every limb i can definitely see that. You're basically faced with a windmill that could leash out at any time and you never really know when and from where.
Would love to see more rope dart videos from you like this. Really enjoyed it. Even tried to reach out to the guy about custom rope dart head but never heard back.
Hi Psyren, I'll do another at some point, I'll have to finished the form they showed me at least, and it was fun smashing stuff too. Watch this space. Also I'll see Bert tomorrow I'll give him a nudge for you.
@@DougSwiftLovesKungFu Awesome can't wait to see it. Just got started back into practicing rope dart and have rewatched this video a lot to help me back into the basics. Keep up the great work. Appreciate that, I messaged him on facebook.
get some throw bags used for arborist they come in 8oz-20-oz lead shot filled bags with a built in ring. alot safer for practice than a steel sphere smashing body parts
Ok, I will for sure follow you if you will train and learn this weapon and art😊. I would love to learn it myself, so when you get more into this, I hope you will show us some tricks, tell us what to do and not, small details and so on🙏😁✌
I constructed a rope dart with 550 cord and a bbq fork. My wife on the other handed was very upset at the amount on holes I've placed in the sheet rock. I've been forbidden to craft anymore "homemade" weapons
Ahh this takes me back TwT I have been using this weapon for like 2 yrs ago and I still haven't forgotten how to use it, tho I don't have the same stamina like I used to TwT
Fun fact guys in Mortal Kombat, Scorpion's weapon is a 100% a rope dart but just with a different name in the game instead of real life name aka Rope Dart.
Here's a good one for a laugh....I was working 3rd shift at a box store, cleaning up when I noticed a display chain in the trash. It had 1"/3" links, so I took it home and put together a whip chain. The handle end and the " bullet " end are made from an old fancy chair leg, each section was 6" long. One of our teachers in the Kwoon seen it and was surprised when he realized that I actually used it. It is fun to use! 😀.....And just because I had the chain, I put a 6" " bullet " on a 20 ' small link(?) tow chain.....I haven't gotten the nerve up to even try to use the monster as a rope dart.😲 I made it 21 years ago. I have studyed Kung Fu for over 41 years now.
@@DougSwiftLovesKungFu Idont know much about the internet. My daughter got me my first smart phone at age 64....it has been "interesting." My daughter will try to film it and put it on the internet.
I already mastered this weapon!! *said as I swing a knife duct-taped to a rope over my head like a cowboy's lasso* All they have to do is walk into me...if they're taller.
Great instruction video! I will definitely follow along some of those exercises! If only there was a way to practice this without injuring yourself and destroying everything around you! ;) But no, I don't see any other way than to use a hard metal ball or pointy dart as weight. :)
There's loads of ways! My friend @bodydevelopmentuk makes rope balls that are knotted up into a Chinese puzzle. Looks a bit like a dog toy. They work really well. and I know some people put a tennis ball over the rope dart. Lots of options for less injuries
@@DougSwiftLovesKungFu The Monkey Knot.. also a tennis ball with two cuts loaded with coins or Sand then a rope threaded through the holes, Tied off and wrapped in tape can make a nice practice meteor Hammer that wont break your face. Great video.. and nice job on learning so quick..

I used to do this with a tennis ball at the end. I got quite good with it too. After hitting my siblings and parents several times it was confiscated
Haha fair enough, maybe letting hitting next time and then you may be able to keep it
Tennis ball is actually pretty good when you're just starting in my opinion. It doesn't quite have the heft that you'll need to get used to but it helps a lot with just getting a feel for the motions.

I've always been interested in cane but I never see anything for it.
That’s some nice kung fu
Thanks man!
So Awesome :)
Thanks 😄
No safety🙃I love this
No safety at all, hahaha
One is a dart one is a hammer
Me after learning that: get over here!
Serious Castlevania vibes
That's why I'm here
I really want to try this thanks to a character of mine
Dude ur such a fast learner
I already mastered this weapon!! *said as I swing a knife duct-taped to a rope over my head like a cowboy's lasso* All they have to do is walk into me...if they're taller.
Great instruction video! I will definitely follow along some of those exercises!
If only there was a way to practice this without injuring yourself and destroying everything around you! ;) But no, I don't see any other way than to use a hard metal ball or pointy dart as weight. :)
There's loads of ways! My friend @bodydevelopmentuk makes rope balls that are knotted up into a Chinese puzzle. Looks a bit like a dog toy. They work really well. and I know some people put a tennis ball over the rope dart. Lots of options for less injuries
@@DougSwiftLovesKungFu The Monkey Knot..
also a tennis ball with two cuts loaded with coins or Sand then a rope threaded through the holes, Tied off and wrapped in tape can make a nice practice meteor Hammer that wont break your face.
Great video.. and nice job on learning so quick..
This is perfect for lazy person like me
