[fanzi9]

Wer is this???

[doggbrown1]

I wanna try it!!!! Where can I get one?

[asianquicktrip07]

holly crap that is awesome. I don't think i can do that even if the wait was like ten pounds.

Dumbbells were actually adapted from the clappers of churchbells in Italy. Kettlebells were a form of market weight. In Scotland they would throw rocks with handles for distance. It should come as no surprise that the Chinese would use padlocks for conditioning. Cultures since time immemorial have found fitness uses for generic equipment.

looks like a kettlebell. Could russia's kettlebell be derived or taken from china's stone padlock?

[Bolobau]

probably related

[gregdancingmachine]

Also, if you look at an ancient Greek haltere, it looks like a Russian kettlebell or a Chinese padlock. Russians have other cultural influences from Greece, such as Orthodox Christianity and some of their architecture, so who knows.

[Sunfist85]

thanks for the info, never heard of a haltere before but yeah its crazy how everything and everyone is connected in someway ex. martial arts, tools, genes etc.

[kofothree]

that looks so freakin hard

[shinkengatsxa]

man ive been nursing a sholder injury, this would kill me lol but im sure it would be great for toughening tendons and stuff as well as building strength :D

[Sunfist85]

kind of late in replying but hey, i've actually rehabilitated my shoulder injury from working with kettlebells, so i hope the same has or can happen for you

[shinkengatsxa]

thanks lol my shoulder is better now tho, it took for ever to heal though, i do landscaping also and the tendons or what ever didnt get time to reduce from swelling. i was thrown from an arm bar while sparing our top student when he was testing for his black sash. try not to have that happen to you O_O lmao.

[blajing]

Wow, how many people a week die from doing that?

[Stellinabz]

hahahahah =D

[tokageroh1988]

Great stuff, thanks for the upload

[NassemAir]

damm cool stuff .. loock at my zoorkhane vid

[stardingo747]

chinese martial artists have always been crazy. I mean, what they do to their bodies. Damn.

[davidtaiji]

That´s great! Seen that in Yang Lu Chan´s House in Yongnian. But there it was made from stone. Nice technique!

[sharkythesharkdogg]

Ashwix, many of us want to know. How much would you guess that thing weighs? I think a kettle ball could be used. (A little one for me though....)

[ashwix]

this one is about 8kgs i think

[nianfong]

@ashwix

sweet. I was just playing with a 15 lb kettlebell today doing this exercise. so I guess it's about the same. I started to get the hang of it... but after my 55 lb kettlebell clean and jerks I was too tired to do it too long...hahhaa. I'll keep it up and increase to the 25 lb later.

[ToddRJones]

Yeah you could def use a kettlebell for that. I'm willing to bet that thing is not as light as that guy made it look lol

[johnnymnemonic2]

That's awesome. I will try to do that w. a kettlebell, but it will take some time to build up enough strength. I'll post a reply when I do.

How much does the stone lock weigh?

[trigger1979]

wow! that was cool! great job!

[OhMymy]

these guys are hardcore. i like it

[KicksOfFury]

couldn't you do that with a kettlebell?

[ashwix]

try it and upload the vid :-)

[CuongSam]

@KicksOfFury I tried it with 8kg kettlebell- its not a difficult as it looks, the most awkward part is keeping ur hand position during the throw and catch :)

[meatp0p]

@KicksOfFury i use a 14 lb kettlebell with this movement and i think its a great warm up

[7eventhSamurai]

Nice vid. The track by The Pharcyde is called Hard Times.

[kamehax]

how heavy is that thing? you sure you wont get spring by doing that?

[blackjamm]

Accidents with that thing would be ridiculously painful, wouldn't they?  But then, poor training for a fight would be worse. If only it were possible to buy a stone lock in the UK.... Thanks for the upload.

[synaptik]

what song is this?

[Yuxian09]

Nice clips. I love shuaijiao.

[bobington123]

wow

[sha167]

Wow...looks like a good way to train the core. I would be afraid of dropping it on my head though. I'll stick to the daizi for now !

[Ejudo]

Nice, it improves the rotation of the shoulders as well as the strength of the sides. At the same time, it improves the stability of the legs.

Just to let you know, it is not really compound exercise. As compound exercises are normally defined as exercises making use of own body weight whereas equipments that extert external forces are called auxillary exercises.

[ashwix]

thanks mate!

[linbeilinbei16]

hey cool video. By the way whats the song used?

[ashwix]

its a Pharcyde song

[idonanquan]

y does it have to be a joke. its not like theres a set thing to upload. this is jus tryin to broaden the shuijiao name. it may not be as dynamic as an mma fight but it has its benifits. im not even a shuijiao prationer but its interesting to see how things r don in other places.

[coultrane]

What a joke. Every idiot on the planet is now submitting videos to youtube.

[ashehiggs]

instead of hatin', maybe you could enlighten us with a video of your own?

on a constructive note, what's the weight on those locks?
