Faster Ropedart

[Supercat40]

Hey man you're really good!

[hellwolf882]

when useing the ropedart or meteor hammer the wrapping and the kicks are not needed but are added for flair when useing the rope dart i mainly use my arms shoulders elbows and maby my feet and a spinning strike can get over 2 inches of penetration into an oak tree

[mack2d2]

cool looking and all but this is strictly vanity... I'd love to see a video of you delivering some real power behind your moves.

[Taud]

@mack2d2 i was about to say the same thing, high speed allows for glancing blows but the slower setups with the most skill would really be the finishers, it shows the difference between traditional kungfu using a weapon and modern wushu using a display with a tassel

[ThelemicPotter]

You got some awesome skills. You should really get a camera and a space to do a good video that lets us see the whole thing.

[rawe9113]

what kind of school would i look for if i wanted to get better at this..i must say i am pretty fluent with a weighted tennis ball on a braided cotton 12 foot rope..i started with a masterlock on paracord..that hurt like a MOTHER! ive been doing this for a few hours everyday for the past 3 months or so

[Roflosic]

@rawe9113

hehe, well left to yourself it would take ages, try some kung fu school and ask there whether they have this weapon, or soft weapons. Some styles do not have many weapons and some schools have ceased to use them.

[judgejeremy4]

Go, Matt!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DualMuNcho]

i hate to be an ass. nice form done well but garbage ass kicks. hahaha

[binot]

KRATOS!!

[snedsmif]

ive just started teaching this to myself mainly from vids on here can fire it off my knee elbow and foot so far but mate id love to be able to that one day

[HungGarEarthBender]

very impressive

[Monessenite]

GREAT SPEED and TECHNIQUE! fair-poor video capture, lol

[geetarmaster21]

loved it til the part where some woman went ultrasonic and blew my ear drums! great skill by the dude!!

[eswunthrii]

haha ultrasonic

[TheOffenda]

Guy's got some sick skillz. But to really get the effect the camera should have been a bit further back. Good video tho.

[Cliche8701]

Impressive. :)

[skwiggledork]

thank you for posting this vid i wated it a few dozen times and have been toying with a rope dart (no disrespect to the weapon but no teachers in this area) i can now do the move at 0:46-0:52 which is imo the hardest move in that routine. thank you again

[BboyDrMadison]

I can't even tell what it Was! I haven't Gotten ANY Foot moves mastered yet T^T. It just ends up wrapping around my LEG!!

[hoszex]

awesome, nice one. I can't learn it, because I have no Master who could train me in soft weapons. :(

[8thsinner]

Can't because no one can show you? Or wont? Because it's too much effort?

This guy just showed you, but you can't learn it.

I find this to be a rather strange philosophy for a martial artist, even a wanna be, At least the wannabe's go out and break bones and bleed for their desires. And strangely enough some of them achieve glory, some don't.

The difference between them is your attitude.

[fullfreydog]

Absolutely correct. There's a lot of folks who learned to use a rope dart and never set foot into a wushu school.

I'm one of those wannabe's that gets smacked by his rope dart almost every day.

[ThelemicPotter]

@fullfreydog I think that's how it works at a school too.  It's one of the "self disciplining" weapons, in that your sensi doesn't have to hit you when you mess up.

[hellwolf882]

@fullfreydog a weapon is built for a fighting style not the other way around so you can teach ur self ANY weapon and it could possibly more effective then the original style its just how well you think and learning the basics then playing and allowing urself to try new things

[provinceofcyrodiil]

Nice job man, im hoping to learn how to use the Meteor hammer, rope dart and Chain whip sometime soon....eventually >.>

[kakurenbo2]

I hear you man.

[Tireg1990]

just started using the meteor hammer reallt good to learn can't wait for to do chain whip at christmas

[thecrazyguy]

Its funny how the majority of the audience is white while the Asian, Blacks, Hispanics and the rest are peppered through out.

[SoledadNights]

pretty cool...betcha ur aim is terrible...if i present 3 filled clay water pots to you, and you knock them all out? ;-)

[thedaryl]

i could. :D Even if they were moving.

[taichixone]

did you get that idea from the natgeo documentary? lol

[AnyKey88]

Very good, I can't tell you how many times I've hit myself with "soft" weapons.

Congratulations, and thanks for showing that there is still substance to the martial arts after XMA did the whole raping them thing.

[Destroi1]

Im happy that you did well in this tournament. I met you in florida. I was with Eric yao. I was one of the guys that were helping out with his seminar. It wasnt cool how I guy told you that he was better than you on this page. Everyone has their own style.

[firebao]

very cool!!

see my FireRD viedo!!

[mutemaster01]

lol. i kept hearing someone saying "OOHH YEEAA!!! whoo!" still the guy performing is pretty good. awesome. i wish i knew how to use one of those rope dart things.

[boredbaby247]

wonderful form but I wish the camera were a little farther back to get a better view of the whole form

[azn43dragon]

hey so is it just a string that attaches a rope dart or is it actually a chain?

[FireRupee]

azn43dragon -- it could be either, really, but most people use chains.

[soulsama]

hell ya i was there!!! I'm on the right side of the frame, in the black shirt, with the arms folded. (at 50 seconds) that was so much more amazing up close and personal though. He worked that thing like a magic trick, it was sweet!!

[moonroach6207]

haha im definately in this video. i was recording on the other side of the ring. very nicely done.

[MuMuLi]

awsomeness

[fireflyninja]

[blackninja14]
