Hey, do you know what would be the maximum/perfect lentgh of the chain whip (without the handle) according to somebody's height or body parts (shoulder height, arms size, etc.) ? Thanks !
That was well done for only teaching yourself. I also taught myself by watching videos a few years ago and would like to pick up on my training with it again. Loosen up a bit tho! Too tight lol
Four People got hit with the sharp part of this weapon in places they'd particularly like to have not hit.
By the way, I just want to say, well-done! I'd like to ask a question, though:
Can the chain whip be used defensively, too? As in, blocking and/or parrying enemy attacks? Or is it purely offensive? And, if it can be defensive, how would one go about the basics for that sort of thing?
Thanks a lot! Again, very good job here- I would probably take forever to learn how to use this.
@ryarod Check out this clip, the fight scene from 7:40 onwards uses a chain whip with blocking and trapping techniques. Sure it's a movie, but some good principles in there!

Essentially you can hold it like you would a belt for blocking and trapping.
there should be some good tutorials on youtube and generally all over the internet.
I will try and film it with a small explanation tomorrow if you like. Make sure you understand the basic concepts of swinging it under the armpit and around the elbow and the neck is easy to understand.
beautiful basics, I pretned I'm using one with a 3 ft. long plastic chain from like a hardware stroe or something, lol but the room isn't tall so I hold it in the middle spinning it so it appears that the chain is a staff rather than a flexible weapon.
When I am trying to remember/learn a new movement in my room, I use a piece of rope with a few knots tied in the end (for a bit of weight). Easy to adjust the length (tie up extra length round palm) and reduces risk of breakages! =)
Good job man! Very good for someone learning on their own. As far as catching the whip with all sections together. rotate the chain clockwise to your front-side, slow the chains speed so it comes to a climax at a high angle, then open your hand and rotate your palm so the inside of your hand faces the whip, then the sections should fold into your hand. This takes ALOT of practice.
Thank you, very kind. I managed to learn that in a handful of 10 min sessions. As I just mess around with it now and then, I haven't progressed much with it, but watching this has reawakened my whipping desires. After a brief reminder tomorrow, I shall move onto scarier techs (under armpit>across the back>across the neck...)... pray for me!

Thanks for the advice! It sounds almost exactly like what is written in the book I picked up ;)
I haven't practiced in a long time (like I said, I just do it occasionally for fun)... time to get back to it =D

Awesome! 5+ stars! Control is difficult isn't it? I trained in that for a year and I still didn't grasp it completely.

Ok, will do. I will upload a video on the twelve points of the Kali sticks system. If you are a beginner in it, maybe you will enjoy it.

Beginner or not, I would love to see it =)
I would like to upload a version of our double stick form... not sure if my Sifu would allow it. I will keep it under lock and key for now ;)
