It'd be amazing to go train with Shaolin Monks, I don't know if it's even possible to though...oh well lol great demonstration, i'm glad to have been able to have watched this.
it can have many variations- chain, twin head, etc..
we usually use a rope, the length of which should be suited to your body. holding one end in your hand, open both arms wide. then let the rope hang from the other hand. the end should be just above the ground.
the head is usually made of iron or copper, and weighs 1 or 2 lbs.
1 or 2lbs is a bit heavy, I've got a couple of meteors and they weigh about 200gs. Ive tried a heavier one before and it gives rope burn like a bitch.
Amazing *-* I've been a huge fan of the meteor hammer ever since (I'm a little bit ashamed to admit) seeing Jackie Chan use an improv meteor hammer in Shanghai Noon (a horseshoe tied to the end of a rope, I believe). This was a beautiful routine. Thanks so much.
I love this weapon!

You have a very good memory with your techniques, where to swing it and how to avoid it!
I love this art, but right now i'm more interested in posture and the way it wraps around limbs so I can shoot it out and bring it back.

There's a Shaolin monk in NYC, and he holds classes, just can't remember his address though. He was featured on NGC.

haha! don't be ashamed, I first knew about it from Kill Bill, and it was a Japanese girl using one, not even Jacki Chan.

This looks really scary. It can do a lot of damage if you accidentally hit this thing over your head.
