Kung Fu Weapons - The Flexible Weapons
Kung Fu Weapons - The Flexible Weapons
This course is an introduction to the soft or flexible weapons of in the martial arts style of Kung Fu.
The single-headed meteor hammer is similar to the rope dart in that it is a long reach weapon with a single head. The main difference between the headed meteor hammer and a rope dart is that traditionally the meteor hammer has an end shaped similar to an egg or melon. The single end can traditionally weigh up to 3 kg and is attached to a rope that can be up to 20 feet in length. Because of these traits, a single headed meteor hammer can be a very effective weapon, despite being very difficult to control. It is important to mention that no Kata is demonstrated for this weapon, techniques only.
The chain whip is a weapon which consists of several metal rods, which are joined end-to-end by rings to form a flexible chain. Generally, the whip has a handle at one end and a metal dart, used for slashing or piercing an opponent, at the other. A cloth flag is usually attached at or near the dart end of the whip and a second flag may cover the whip's handle. The flag or flags adds visual appeal and produces a rushing sound as the whip swings through the air.
The bullwhip is a single-tailed whip, usually made of braided leather, designed as a tool for working with livestock. Bullwhips are pastoral tools, traditionally used to control livestock in open country. A bullwhip's length, flexibility, and tapered design allows it to be thrown in such a way that, toward the end of the throw, part of the whip exceeds the speed of sound—thereby creating a small sonic boom.
This course is an ideal teaching aid for review, rank testing, competition, and self-defense.
