Here's how I made mine, more towards martial arts hammer - tho I'm interested in performance arts too. The one I made is approx. 3,6meter long, 10mm rope meteor hammer, end weight being around 300grams, though very easily adjustable. If you're more towards muscle training (gives you pretty good burn to back, bicep/triceps/forearms and ofc core also since the meteor hammer is pretty heavy.
Cost is only few euros.It depends on how much you want to spend on spinning rope tho
If you actually lean to use flexible weapons I think you'll find a "missed" shot is never so......the missed shot will always wrap what ever is there or you can hit on the recoil as you would in snake style found pretty much every martial art that has snake. I think people don't understand this concept of missing by intent.....these weapons are to scare and distract.....everything is a decoy that's it's strength and it's a good one, which is the reason you would learn such a difficult weapon.
@russelliquick dude cmon a meteor hammer will knock your glock out your hand before you even cock it and truse me you cant just "rush a guy with a meteor hammer" doesn work like that lol
Since I doubt we anyone here knows how to both operate a gun and do this, arguing which takes more skill or time to master is just operating on 'probably' and 'I think?' It's not really a debate that can be solved. Ever. Just watch him, for he is epic. That is fact, hard and true.
why the argument? not everyone has access to firearms, or the money for ammo, however this would be useful because a heavy object and rope are often available. taud: you drive a coal truck? then you can appreciate that my meteor hammer is a ballhitch from a truck and my rope is baling twine; much cheaper than a rifle or pistol (blackpowder weapons excluded) and with an abundance of time after class and over breaks between semesters, i can break pots at range(18ft) with the junk-made hammer.
@metalfire13 and before it may be asked, yes i do own firearms, and i do love going shooting(you gotta try blackpowder vs. prarie dogs), BUT my point for this is: they may one day make firearms illegal or at least heavily restricted, but trying to outlaw a rock and a string is a bit too much for them... You may have my random chunk of sandstone tied with a vine when you pry it from my cold dead fingers...lol
@metalfire13 No it was him saying he drives a coal truck, he claims using a gun takes much more skills than using shaolin meteor hammers, the argument was such as that, he claims i know nothing from typing a few sentences on the internet....
@Taud: You've pretty well proven you don't know much about rifles. If you don't even know the process for zeroing a rifle and then turn around to say how easy being a good shot is you've given more than enough reason for someone to assume you're not a gun expert.
1 - This is not a meteor hammer. It's a rope dart. Meteor hammers have weights at both ends. Why did you post this without even knowing what it was.
2 - Is this guy used to fighting people that are 10 feet tall? All of his attacks land at about the 10 foot mark. Makes it easier to recover the weapon, but makes the use of the weapon look useless. He's attacking targets at a height that is completely impractical to try and be more flashy.
@homemadePAUL some say the flag messes with the opponents vision . like a distraction of sorts, but i suppose you could do that .some flags are long and wavy and therefore distracting
@derekjf85 If it has a big blunt weight at the end instead of a dart it actually would be a meteor hammer :-) I don't know why but meteor hammer is used to describe 2 different things.
The meteor hammer looks like it would be hard to deliver more then one fast attack very fast because its constantly spinning. Cool to watch though for sure but,as a real weapon I would rather have a stick lol.
Absolutely fantastic. This guy has great skill. The way his feet flow so effortlessly to assist his hands. Not just talking about attacks utilizing the feet.
Master Chen is truely a master this weapon is not that easily manipulated it is hard and he makes it look like child play amazing thank you for posting and to Master Chen for the demonstration
But where do you get these weapons? And im no stupid dumb kid who wants to use it to smack some one and swing it around ignorently i mean were can i get one to train with a REAL ONE i keep finding these stuipd non lethal ermai needles and such
You can purchase them online. You shouldn't start with a real weapon though as you'll quickly injure yourself (potentially severely). What you should do is start with a length of rope with a tight knot tie at the end. I use a 3/8th inch rope of about 12 feet for practice.
you mistake what i mean...........the needles i found online were not leathel...........when i say non leathal im saying they probably were blunt but yes if you had enough force behind the blow they would kill anyone of course
talent? well, considering this is a weapon, i assume you mean talent for killing? as a student of at least a dozen martial arts and a former marine, i can offer a pretty unbiased opinion when i say guns are far superior to rope darts or meteor hammers. do you not think that if chinese people had guns back then that they would've still bothered with meteor hammers? hell no! they'd be running around shooting eachother like a bunch of south-compton teenagers!
you're an idiot. you totally missed the point of "talent" any guy on the street can pull a trigger, but it takes time and talent to master a weapon such as the one master chen is demonstrating here
ah, any guy on the street can pull a trigger, i'll give you that... but can't every guy on the street swing a string with a weight around too?
just because you can pull a trigger doesn't mean you can shoot, the same way just because you can swing a weight doesn't mean you're mastering the meteor hammer.
so what you need to realize is that this isn't 14th century china, this is the 21st century. everyone knows a weapon is only as good as the person who uses it, so why is one guy being good at swinging a meteor hammer less "talented" than some other guy who can shoot a playing card in half from 75 yards away?
@PooPoo2U So when do morons like you fail to use common sense and not generalize ?> Simple old saying where i live " Even a blind squirrel finds a nut every once in awhile". Per the video, bastards lucky no one is teeing off....also, he must be used to fighting people 16 feet tall...or maybe hes 3'7 and it just looks that way :P
@Popularitycontestant Good thing people are never on horse back or for some reason at a different height than the user of the weapon. Yeah that never happens... Oh wait... ohhh never mind.
@PooPoo2U well i can use both and ill say the rope dart was a lot harder to learn/use than to aim the scope target an click the trigger, so IMO and situation it did require "less talent" than the dart
@Taud: Well let's dissect what you just said. First off, you said there's a scope. That scope has to be zeroed and adjusted for variables like windage and bullet drop. Next you have to know how to breathe properly, and how to correctly pull the trigger. If you're "clicking" the trigger as you say, you're already doing it wrong I can tell. The proper way is to SQUEEZE the trigger.
Obviously you don't know as much as you thought you did, so you're ignorant.
so the meteor hammers dont move different in the wind at all?
scopes are aimed in with a kit, any idiot can do it now a days, we have this standard called education, just because i wrote "click" you're starting to assume all of this crap, you have 0 uploads ill put a video up of myself with several rifles, you post yours, we'll see who knows?
Obviously you've seen movies, breath and trigger pull is a small fraction of skill
@Taud: Firstly I know you don't know shit because the process is called ZEROING, not "aiming a scope". It requires mounting the scope, going to a range, centering the crosshairs, test firing, and then adjusting the scope to compensate for bullet movement.
As for meteor hammers moving in the wind: bullets are only affected by windage at longer distances. Are you implying that you're going to hit someone with a meteor hammer from, say, 50 yards? Doubtful.
@Taud: Also, if you think breath and trigger pull are a small fraction of shooting, you're a blatant moron. If it's that easy the instructors in the military wouldn't spend hours of time drilling it into every single soldier who ever enlists.
So yea, go ahead. Post a video of yourself HOLDING several rifles that you probably don't even know how to use and I still won't be impressed.
@PooPoo2U Well, seeing as how youre one of those internet wanna be military types, i dont profess to want to impress you, its to show you that shooting is as simple as that, point and click, they give AK47s to 10 year olds in africa because they know its EASIER than spending a long time trying to teach knife fighting
you cant tell me it requires years of discipline to fire those, all you have is shit talk, no videos to back it up, youre another ZERO talking trash on here
@Taud: Wanna be military types? Where precisely did I say I was in the military? I'm part-owner of a gun store and drive a coal truck for a living, but I also do all my own smithing and have been around firearms my entire life.
I know how well I can shoot, so you go ahead and post some videos of yourself shooting just to see how easy it is, or are you too busy playing video games? The fact I don't have any uploads (Mainly because they're all listed as private dumbass) is irrelevant.
@PooPoo2U Yeah a lot of people use that excuse "oh my uploads are private" somehow i call BS on that
As for video games, yeah they're fun and a lot cheaper than wasting ammo at the range while your in university, so I dont have to do jobs like drive a coal truck at that age right?
It is relevant it shows you're willing to criticize others for what they post when you have nothing at all youre saying a 10 year old kid could operate shaolin meteor hammers easier than an AK47?
@Taud: Actually my uploads are private. I've removed the ones that were audio-blocked and I've made the remainder private, which ironically enough are video game videos.
Also, you'll find that I never said a 10 year old could operate meteor hammers than an AK47, although I'm sure if you put a condition four AK and a meteor hammer in front of a kid with no instruction then yes, they'd figure out how to swing the rock around before they'd figure out how to load and cock the weapon.
@PooPoo2U You've totally taken this in a different direction than the original topic and are now dodging it completely, it was about the ease of fire arms use compared to a weapon like this.
@Taud: Yes, and since you're the one who's saying it's so easy to use a firearm the burden of proof is on your shoulders, not mine. Thus since you're stuck on the subject of videos I challenged you to upload one of yourself showing just how easy it is to shoot accurately.
@Taud: You said you'd post a video of yourself with guns. Not shooting guns, not cleaning guns, not explaining the inner workings of them, just you with guns.
As I said, posting a video of yourself holding a borrowed gun won't impress me. Post a video of yourself firing said gun in an accurate manner and using proper gun-handling procedure and I'll be far more inclined to believe that you're not an ignorant moron who doesn't know what they're talking about.
@PooPoo2U holding a borrowed gun? You cant borrow guns up north you idiot, they are assigned to specific people the ones i have are assigned to me,hence they are mine, now ill give you a few minutes to try and soak that in..
Second of all, I no longer care to further this debate with you, youve moved from talking about the ease of use of an AK47 to the meteor hammers to talking about "Col. Cooper" and all of this other dumb crap because you have no argument of your own, you're another troll
@PooPoo2U I thought you'd have a logical discussion/debate on the subject, when i compared the AK one of the most plentiful fire arms on earth, you totally dodged the question because any idiot knows its easier to teach yourself to operate an ak47 than it is to teach yourself shaolin meteor hammers... its hardly a discussion anymore, you started trolling about completely different shit because you had nothing left to say, end of story...
@Taud: A shaolin meteor hammer doesn't have to be cleaned or tuned for performance. You can bury the thing in mud for 100 years and it'll come out fine. A shaolin meteor hammer also doesn't run out of ammunition.
The fact is that they both require skill, but different kinds of skill, and an AK requires more different skills to be used proficiently. It's a fact.
@PooPoo2U you can bury a glock for 100 years and still work it, and if you run out of ammo then its all close melee skill, just like if you miss your 1 shot with the m.hammer or r.dart. you get one, MAYBE 2 chances before they close in and attack then you will wish you had a pistol to whip em with ah ha ha! ;D
@moshadoe: Can you shoot a gun well? Can you hit a target from any body position from say, 25 or 30 feet?
While yes, I stand by my comment (which I'll add was made 2 years ago), being well-versed with a firearm is no easier than this. If you consider hitting a target vaguely accurately every 5 out of 6 shots, I don't consider that "shooting well".
@PooPoo2U Let me reiterate. Whoever said that it takes less talent, or is less talented, for the reasons you stated, is an idiot. I was not referring to you, and was pretty much agreeing with you. This weapon requires more practice to master than a gun, but takes the same skill in a different manner.
I call this the candy bucket for adults. Its just so fun. Damn difficult but fun. I use a metal rope dart wrapped inside two tennis balls. It does hurt when you get hit but you dont poke your eyes out.
It is very difficult to find good authentic shaolin rope darts and meteor hammers. The ones you find in most kung fu web sites are cheap imitations (which will do the trick) I started of learning with a cotton clothsline and a padlock (warning: you can hurt yourself) Once I began to grasp the feel I bout my first rope dart on ebay. I have two rope darts and one meteor One is a very traditional metal dart. The other meteor and rope dart are from shaolin and are very authentic
does anyone know how to do the kick trick..its when you swing the meteor hammer and kick part of the string causing it to fly forward..like in kill bill.
Hey I want to learn meteor hammer/rope dart. I see some of you are learning it, are there any internet groups devoted to learning it that you know of? or anywhere to get lessons?
i -personally find that going a bit oversized with your kung fu weapons cant hurt, but with a rope dart/meteor hammer (i actually prefer the flying weight) there is no need to ever exceed 12-13 feet. one problem i do have, however, is the chain whip- it is really fucking difficult to find a heavyweight chain whip. i tried using a light one, but i am six feet tall and could barely wrap it around my shoulders.
it looks like he just spinning it vertically and releases it while it is pointing upward. like when you shoot out a rope dart to pierce a target (only upward instead of forward). he just makes it looks very fluid and natural.
That's what I've been using, of course I haven't really put much effort into learning, I just swing it around in my back yard acting like I know what I'm doing lol.
Heh, I really like the music. :) And the weapon used by Soul Calibur's Ivy is kind of similar to this... at least, I'm pretty sure they used a meteor hammer for her martial arts demonstration in the games.
After many years of training in martial arts I have come to believe that the greatest demonstration a MA can give to show his level of skill is how well s/he wields a soft (flexible) weapon like the rope dart. With the fist or sword you do not have to give 100% all the time to make it look good, but you always need to have complete precision and timing with a soft weapon or it all goes wrong and you can clearly see this guy has complete precision and timing. Anyone agree?
Best when faced from 50 yards away with a high-powered rifle...

Also, you'll find that I never said a 10 year old could operate meteor hammers than an AK47, although I'm sure if you put a condition four AK and a meteor hammer in front of a kid with no instruction then yes, they'd figure out how to swing the rock around before they'd figure out how to load and cock the weapon.
Duh huh.

@Taud: Also, your logic is flawed if you believe that not having uploads related to a subject means you know nothing about it.
Col. Cooper died before Youtube was invented and consequently has no uploads, are you to tell me he knows nothing about guns?

@PooPoo2U You've totally taken this in a different direction than the original topic and are now dodging it completely, it was about the ease of fire arms use compared to a weapon like this.
Taud 4 months ago
@Taud: Yes, and since you're the one who's saying it's so easy to use a firearm the burden of proof is on your shoulders, not mine. Thus since you're stuck on the subject of videos I challenged you to upload one of yourself showing just how easy it is to shoot accurately.

@PooPoo2U No you didnt, read the comment
I said i would post a video showing, you didnt challenge shit you said "even if you did it wouldnt impress me"
or some lame shit like that, you didnt challenge anyone for anything, Wow youre really one that should have been swallowed

@Taud: You said you'd post a video of yourself with guns. Not shooting guns, not cleaning guns, not explaining the inner workings of them, just you with guns.
As I said, posting a video of yourself holding a borrowed gun won't impress me. Post a video of yourself firing said gun in an accurate manner and using proper gun-handling procedure and I'll be far more inclined to believe that you're not an ignorant moron who doesn't know what they're talking about.

@PooPoo2U holding a borrowed gun? You cant borrow guns up north you idiot, they are assigned to specific people the ones i have are assigned to me,hence they are mine, now ill give you a few minutes to try and soak that in..
Second of all, I no longer care to further this debate with you, youve moved from talking about the ease of use of an AK47 to the meteor hammers to talking about "Col. Cooper" and all of this other dumb crap because you have no argument of your own, you're another troll

@Taud: If you recall this whole discussion came from you replying to me, so I'd say that'd make you the troll here fool.
PooPoo2U 4 months ago
@PooPoo2U I thought you'd have a logical discussion/debate on the subject, when i compared the AK one of the most plentiful fire arms on earth, you totally dodged the question because any idiot knows its easier to teach yourself to operate an ak47 than it is to teach yourself shaolin meteor hammers... its hardly a discussion anymore, you started trolling about completely different shit because you had nothing left to say, end of story...

@Taud: A shaolin meteor hammer doesn't have to be cleaned or tuned for performance. You can bury the thing in mud for 100 years and it'll come out fine. A shaolin meteor hammer also doesn't run out of ammunition.
The fact is that they both require skill, but different kinds of skill, and an AK requires more different skills to be used proficiently. It's a fact.

@PooPoo2U you can bury a glock for 100 years and still work it, and if you run out of ammo then its all close melee skill, just like if you miss your 1 shot with the m.hammer or r.dart. you get one, MAYBE 2 chances before they close in and attack then you will wish you had a pistol to whip em with ah ha ha! ;D

@moshadoe: Can you shoot a gun well? Can you hit a target from any body position from say, 25 or 30 feet?
While yes, I stand by my comment (which I'll add was made 2 years ago), being well-versed with a firearm is no easier than this. If you consider hitting a target vaguely accurately every 5 out of 6 shots, I don't consider that "shooting well".
PooPoo2U 4 months ago
@PooPoo2U Let me reiterate. Whoever said that it takes less talent, or is less talented, for the reasons you stated, is an idiot. I was not referring to you, and was pretty much agreeing with you. This weapon requires more practice to master than a gun, but takes the same skill in a different manner.

I call this the candy bucket for adults. Its just so fun. Damn difficult but fun. I use a metal rope dart wrapped inside two tennis balls. It does hurt when you get hit but you dont poke your eyes out.

It is very difficult to find good authentic shaolin rope darts and meteor hammers. The ones you find in most kung fu web sites are cheap imitations (which will do the trick) I started of learning with a cotton clothsline and a padlock (warning: you can hurt yourself) Once I began to grasp the feel I bout my first rope dart on ebay. I have two rope darts and one meteor One is a very traditional metal dart. The other meteor and rope dart are from shaolin and are very authentic

Update, I posted a couple weeks ago and had about 0 experience, but now I completely mastered the meteor hammer.
Amazing what you can do with determination and practice!
Anyways, watch as many videos you can and observe how they do the moves. You'll get the general idea of how it works.
Then I rented a Shoalin Meteor Hammer movie from Netflix and that helped a ton.
And where some shin guards until your comfortable with your Meteor Hammer.
Im going to put up a video too.

How long is your meteor hammer rope? Mine, is 12 feet long and I think its too short, so what is your size?
Sonicthehedgehog73 3 years ago
no,it´s ok
nanhuazhenren 3 years ago
i -personally find that going a bit oversized with your kung fu weapons cant hurt, but with a rope dart/meteor hammer (i actually prefer the flying weight) there is no need to ever exceed 12-13 feet. one problem i do have, however, is the chain whip- it is really fucking difficult to find a heavyweight chain whip. i tried using a light one, but i am six feet tall and could barely wrap it around my shoulders.

SeijiiNakamaru 3 years ago
it looks like he just spinning it vertically and releases it while it is pointing upward. like when you shoot out a rope dart to pierce a target (only upward instead of forward). he just makes it looks very fluid and natural.

or even a monky fist knot on a peace of rope

another option (one that I've resorted to) is to use a jump rope (where the weight comes from the handle).

That's what I've been using, of course I haven't really put much effort into learning, I just swing it around in my back yard acting like I know what I'm doing lol.

Heh, I really like the music. :) And the weapon used by Soul Calibur's Ivy is kind of similar to this... at least, I'm pretty sure they used a meteor hammer for her martial arts demonstration in the games.
Cliche8701 3 years ago
no ivy weapon is a chain whip(nine section whip)similar movements tho.

this weapon should be included in Soul Calibur 5.

After many years of training in martial arts I have come to believe that the greatest demonstration a MA can give to show his level of skill is how well s/he wields a soft (flexible) weapon like the rope dart. With the fist or sword you do not have to give 100% all the time to make it look good, but you always need to have complete precision and timing with a soft weapon or it all goes wrong and you can clearly see this guy has complete precision and timing. Anyone agree?
