i've been using this video for about a month now. I made my chain whip out of a jump rope and a foam ball from Dollar Tree. It seems to hurt less than the tennis ball. it's slow going because i'm pretty uncoordinated. But it's fun. I've lost 7 pounds using FUN martial arts weapons videos. (I'm also learning Klingon bat'leth from Star Trek.) One specific mechanic I have discovered: when doing the braking action for the whip to stop and catch it: you need to start with your brake hand either even with your head or a little higher. I'm that person who needs these things explained in minute detail, so I share the wisdom when I find it. i'm getting better with practice. I'm working the exercises with both hands. I feel pleased not just getting scale results, but getting more coordinated also. i haven't mastered that thing where you go around your bicep yet; you'll hear the primal scream of victory if i ever manage to do it :P
get knee and elbow pads and riot helmet. Once you get ok enough you can turn tins in to a suicidal weapon. My first was my 20 year old karate belt with two locks on each end no Idea what i was doing. Funny how a blunt round corner on a lock can give you a cut like a knife and a bruise underneath for weeks. If you practice this thing using metal weights have dental and medical insurance. Have had bruises that are so bad they resemble scars. One strike one kill if you land it. Or at least a broken bone with macerated skin. Hit to the head=dead or deformed. Hit to a bone= bone slush torn skin. I dont even want to try the sharp ones if hey are heavy. Im not good at all but man I can dodge a lock flying back at me like a real ninja cause it is very scary. If you have ever hit your self at just a glance that is the damage i have incurred. If some one pulled this out on me over an altercation and was willing to let me go or fight I would fucking turn around and thank them. Great way to become a casualty of severe blunt trauma really quick. No expert but it feels like the type of weapon that does not care which combatant gets the death blow on the first hit. Seriously you can smash a skull like a pumpkin and not now the difference other than going to jail. Idk what skill level this merits but the danger level is high.
I know this is an old post but I just saw an episode where Belmont wrapped his leg with chain and kicked the morningstar. Had to see it in reality so I came here lol
I always try to support local shops. There are 2 places in Phoenix and Tempe I go to. Karate Mart and the Karate Supply in Tempe at McClintock and Southern! But, if you want a chainwhip try Brendan Lai Supply or Beijing Imports!
John Vermilyea depending on your height, if the bottom is almost touching the ground the top should be a little higher than your shoulder if you have short arms, or if you have long arms make it a little shorter
Himu Yashiro Hi, you are saying that it should be about your shoulder high? A meteor hammer length is holding the rope with your arms wide open, and hammer hanging almost to the ground.
+Kung Fu & Tai Chi Center w/ Jake Mace.....I was going to make a Bo Staff from one of your other videos but ended up making a fire knife instead....it seemed to all come together with what I already had in front of me....your training video was good with putting your wrist back to back and making it turn......and now I'm spinning fairly fast for just a few days practice....thanks
Hell yeah. Really fantastic technique you display. I've been getting into fighting shape again lately. It's been 20 years since I jump roped but I started up again and it got me to thinking about lassos and whips, and that's what brought me here. Thanks for your instruction. does not look easy! But I understand the rhythm of the exercise(s) and I like it! Thanks!
Yes me too I'm a huge fan of the bull whip. I got pretty good at one stage but I stopped, I've always wanted to try the chain whip of course.i got really good at target practice hitting cans and suff
why would you not go join this Kung Fu studio, if you lived in Phoenix or Tempe AZ? I've never seen a martial art teacher with such a pleasing friendly personality. The videos are not only informative, but enjoyable to experience his pleasing personality.
Nice video Jake. When I was 12, I spent all my lunch money to buy a chain whip book. It said beginner should start with rope and tennis ball. I was too excited to try it out but I got no rope at that moment, just a huge dog chain. Attached my tennis ball to the dog chain ( almost as big as my tiny arms) and I started swinging thinking it's pretty cool till it got out of control and hit everything around me. My father suggested the cat chain lol and it worked perfectly.
I made one recently and I can say having absolutly no experience with it, that it is very difficult. I found out the hard way thag tenis balls to the shin hurt and leave quite a mark! Nevertheless I am very much enjoying it and it is a ton of fun to handle!!! I absolutly love it, and when im finished I just wrap the chord around the ball and put it in my pocket! By the way I love these videos!!! Keep up the good work!! :)
Chain Whip for Beginners! These are the techniques and this is the chain whip (tennis ball and string whip) that I teach beginning Kung Fu students! Good luck and practice daily!
This is may favorite chain whip video. Very useful key principles, like using your whole body. Indiana Jones shot dude with crazy weapon. You can exercise with a gun in your pocket, but think it's more fun, and more rewarding to exercise using a weapon. ONE HUNDRED EYES!!!! Mantis Master, the Shaolin Wudang Taoist Li Jinbao, or Bayan of the Baarin, uses Jiujiebian twice the length,18 sections (not using 11 section whips). His also has two chain knives on the end. Most vids I've seen guys use two 9 section jiujiebian. Tom Wu uses big one though. Chain envy lol. Six months and still only half done making this Jiujiebian. Decent rings are kinda difficult to make.
Jake.... THANX so much for sharing. I found this video a few hrs ago & went & bought tennis balls & some paracord . They are AMAZING & am so excited about learnng more of chain whip as it is my favorite weapon lately.
Beautifully presented, clearly demonstrated, repeated plenty of time, excellent cues, welcoming personality, good sense of humor...all ingredients of an excellent teacher. Respect. ZK
Discovered this today - after watching general Kai in kung fu panda :) The source of it notwithstanding, i loved it as an exercise Im going to begin this and Sensei here is simply too good - been a long time having seen a teacher like this 🙇
I never heard of a chain whip until today when I saw one on thefiscaltimes (10-Weapons-You-Wont-Believe-Are-Legal) I immediately when on youtube to see it in action and saw your videos. great stuff!
Found you from your bo-staff videos when surfing for new fire-staff moves to learn, but ended up finding chain whip I could incorporate into fire poi instead! Great tutorials.. Don't think it's been done before, there's definitely a lot of moves I've never seen anyone attempting with poi
That is brillant !! I teach old school, 3 Kingdoms style, we use real weapons only. This way is a lot safer to do. My Sifu had a weapons class and one student was doing the whip chain and couldn't figure out how to stop the figure 8 pattern (# 1& 2 spins). He found out a way, he hit himself almost between the legs with a silly grin.all of us were almost rolling on the ground laughing 😀😀😀, he wasn't hurt, Safety weapons do help. 😃😃😃
How do you make the practice ball & rope? You hand was covering however it's attached. I presume it's just two holes drilled into the ball with the rope pushed through them both and then tied together?
I've wanted to learn this weapon ever since I saw David Chiang use it in "5 Masters of Death" (aka "5 Masters of Shaolin") as a kid! I've actually trained in a few Kung-Fu schools since the late '80s, but none of my past teachers have ever taught the whip-chain.
If one is already proficient in nunchuku and three-sectional-staff would you recommend this weapon? I recently purchased one and it looks great! Will my learning-curve be increased because of familiarity with the other two?
Just a quick question. Should I be proficient on both sides before moving forward? Also does the style differ from different types of Kung Fu. Like lets say Hung Gar?
THIS IS VERY GOOD. I HAD WATCHED THE ONE OF SHI DE CHENG BUT HE IS TOO FAST FOR ME TO GET. YOURS IS VERY CLEAR. CAN YOU POST THE LEAPING TECHNIQUES OF THE CHAIN WHIP
man i love your videos im thinking of getting my own chain whip. what you you say is good for all around use. not for beginners just for having fun and practising. i want to get one with some weight on it. i dont want it to be really light. also do you use the 9 section chain whip. thanks
I decided to just use a real one and I think I'm pretty good, chain got my ankle once though. I'm not great at the turns so I want to know how long it takes your students to get it down
Hello UA-cam can you guys help me out by telling me what hand does Jake have the chain whip in under what arm is he tucking it in and what direction he is turning his body thank you
great vid. I like the way you present the moves. The shame is, the sound didn't come through and I can't read lips, but I could get the idea from watching your reps.
what kind of rope/string are you using? is it paracord or what? please answer this is the weapon of my next belt and i always like to have a small base on the weapon before im actually at it
Look at that amazing arsenal in the background! I want to be there :) Thanks for this video too, by the way. I pass it on to friends asking about chain whip's and how-to's. Keep Spinning :)
So i have this weapon and im the process of learning it, im also learning all sorts of weapons. So is it in any place that i would want to learn weapons would i also have to do the matial art? Because i only want to learn weapons and not the matial art it is used in.
Is there an ideal length for the chain and/or rope in proportion to your height, arm length, etc.? Or are they always a standard length, and you have to adjust your technique according to your height?
I used to wrap it around a persons leg or arm and the ball of spikes or razors would lock the chain so it would make it possible to pull the arm or leg toward me or it would cut in to the leg or arm of the person trying to attack me in my case I would use it only in self defense.
When I do the tricep pivot, it doesn't always work. Is this because I'm not swinging it vertically enough? Why do we do pit/tricep transitions? Does it speed up the spin/give it power? Is it to blade/position the body in a safer way against your opponent? Is it just to increase core strength by activating the torso?
I skipped the tennis ball. I got a practice chain whip, which is still dangerous. The part I am having trouble with is getting the whip chain to go under my arm. It just goes under my wrist. But this video, I think I get why. The other one you are being filmed from the side. This one it is front, so I can see you are turning your arm horizontal and straight out.

Have any of you made the Chain whip with the tennis ball yet?
how long should the rope be?

I just use a jump rope or a sticky hand

Ney Hox I did that the first time I used the BO staff. Took out a light real quick. It shouldn't have messed with me.
+Ney Hox (NHX) LOL I broke a ceiling globe light with nunchucks

For stucco ceilings, a few bits of stucco from other parts of the ceiling can hide small gouges from sticks.

He does a perfect tutorial on how gogo yubari uses her weapon.
I was looking for exactly this sort of video on meteor whip. You've done the best job of all of them at showing me the fundamental movements. Thanks!
You are a good teacher...
I have some string, and a tennis ball...
What a good idea, and the drills look so simple!
Thanks, man!
you're the best trainer for this weapon! no one can demonstrate it as clear as you do! thanks jake! :D

How does a tennis ball hurt you ? Unless face or nutts ? It would lose against my shin bones
There's no way it hurt

@@musabaig4557 it hurts A LOT XD use a balloon if you're a total beginner
Hey Thanks!
You rock .... I always wondered how GoGo did that in Kill Bill ...
Thank you!
So I already practice this basic when I was on my childhood days and I mastered it. Didnt know its martial arts.
Yo same
Same!! I just one day thought it looked cool and a practical weapon (my first one was made out of nylon cord string and a stone-weighted paperball)
I would make the rope the same length as the chain whip! It depends on your height! Should be from elbow to ground! :)
That is brillant !!

my left ear killed its self
Sorry, we've now fixed that!
i love chain weopons...nothing beats their versatility.
I love the 9 section, and the fact that poi spinning has borrowed alot of its moves from the whip forms.
best rope dart noob intro I have found. thumbs up!!
great video man you were very positive and had fun doing it, don't listen to these negative comments.
Great way to learn!!! Thanks for you videos

I use a chain just to make my whole work fun, wow never had seen before as a cool martial arts 🥋 oss
oh wow! best How to video on this subject.u totally simplified the art.ty ty ty

VERY good !!!
Explanation level: Expert

Thanks!
Is there an ideal length for the chain and/or rope in proportion to your height, arm length, etc.? Or are they always a standard length, and you have to adjust your technique according to your height?
Entertaining and educational!

i wonder if master mace does rope dart and meteor hammer as well.
Where do you get your martial art supplies from? Online?
Man, your videos are really nice... I´m leaning this weapon with my teacher, we have some different moves, ut I will try yours for sure!
What is the ideal weight for the tip? I weight 170 lbs and aren't a beginner. Does it make a difference or is it merely personal preference?
First from the chain whip video
When I do the tricep pivot, it doesn't always work. Is this because I'm not swinging it vertically enough?
Why do we do pit/tricep transitions? Does it speed up the spin/give it power? Is it to blade/position the body in a safer way against your opponent? Is it just to increase core strength by activating the torso?
Thanks for the videos, just made a practice chain whip with a tennis ball today.
Brilliant! Thank you Jake!
My height is 5'11 so I am guessing a chain that is 5 feet would be ok to practice with. Is that a good size?..thank u.
that was really a lot of fun, tanks!
Do you have a follow up video? Would much love it!
I skipped the tennis ball. I got a practice chain whip, which is still dangerous. The part I am having trouble with is getting the whip chain to go under my arm. It just goes under my wrist. But this video, I think I get why. The other one you are being filmed from the side. This one it is front, so I can see you are turning your arm horizontal and straight out.
Hello Master! Thank you for uploading.
BTW, please teach me how to make chain whip with tennis ball!
Just poke holes on both ends of the ball push the cord through and tie a knot on both ends of the ball to keep it in place
What should one be looking at when buying one of these? And have you ever heard of one being used eg legal stuff?
How do you figure out how long the whip chain should be?
