Shaolin Rope Dart Demo Part 1: "New Rope Dart"

[areghsdvbe]

Very impressive... now light it on fire! If you think that's fun, wait until you try one with a flaming head. The feeling is indescribable.

Such a graceful weapon. It sounds strange to say, but it's grace is it's strength. Nice job! I want to learn this now!

Wish this guy would put out a Instructional DVD or something.

@SteveKarlEdelen thanks a lot steve. will consider putting something together. will publish one shortly here with grappling techniques that will be slow and easy to follow i think. but i highly recommend taking a look at dkiolbas's vids as well.

[SteveKarlEdelen]

@ShaolinRopeDart Thanks, I will.

[dkiolbas]

Hey Tom! I used to live in Shaolin with the Monks, and I specialize in rope dart. Nice creativity! Go check out some of my vids. Jiayo!

Dud i love it. Love the corkscrew in the begining (nice flowing video edit btw) and i love your move at 1:10 too.

I would still classify this as rope dart or meteor hammer (same principle)

[RopeDart9]

Another thing. Great flow of scenes and awsome flying-spin in the 2nd scene!

Sorry to put you down, but what you have is a silk, chinese "Meteor Hammer". I have not checked out any of your other videos yet but if they're all done with that weapon, your name should be "ShaolinMeteorHammer". All that aside, it was cool non-the-less.

[ShaolinRopeDart]

@RopeDart9 no problem ropedart9. And I agree with you. technical, this weapon is more akin to the meteor hammer, though its weighted only at one end. I have it in quotes and call it the 'new rope dart' to use a bit of the old imagery with a new twist. but i realize that may be a bit confusing for some (or misleading). The truth is I like the way it sounded.
