I think that this weapon is pointless even if the user is very skilled, it's just too short and clumsy. I bet a fighter using a sword will easily kill him.
@LKH9 well real melon hammers were like maces, a lot longer and heavier, dont write this wushu display tool off as a traditionally forged an ancient weapon these are hollow aluminum most often....
i don't know why, but i always smile when i see big shaolin practitioners. maybe it's cuz people like to incorrectly assume all shaolin monks are thin and weaker.
well i have melon hammers, they are somewhat heavy if you have no type of strength or endurance training. the performance was alright but it seems that he put more into the strikes of the hammers than the performance of his body
when i look for these type of weapons the so called soft weapons they seem to only weigh a few oz's i know that there was some melon hammers like this that were hallow and crome covered........are they even any affective as weapons if you make them crome covered? But if they are the real deal they can crush your skull
I am amazed I found this video. Melon hammers seem so rare. I almost thought that me and my Sifu were the only ones that even knew it anymore.
I loved this performance, and I would love to see you master this weapon. I am curious though, is that the only form you know for it? I myself have learned a form, but it differs greatly, though I cannot say one is better than the other, just different.

This guy is extremely clumsy...He doesn't know how to use his own weight, let alone the weight of these things.

@Taud This is very similar to the weapons used by the Hindu God Hanuman, who is a great servert of Lord Rama.

@LKH9 If they were anything like western maces or warhammers then they are surprisingly effective

Only the wushu weapons are hollow chrome. When actually used as a weapon, they were made of steel, and quite deadly weapons.

He looks like a pretty big guy. Tell him to his face that he's not a graceful little butterfly.

@jakeisawesome91 If you see videos of some of the old school and older monks they can get quite round.

Eh, Not much elegance or precision that a shaolin is supposed to have. Impressive, but needs refining.

when you do your form and fall to the ground - your hip shouldnt touch the ground..be careful because your weight can do damage to yourself..
