such an amazing skill with a bullwhip! Where did you learn all this? I know you were in China but for how long? :)

[Wr2]

Believe it or not the Bullwhip was self taught... My family has a strong martial arts background and they sent me to China to improve my skills... I spent about half a year in the Zhengzhou Shaolin Martial Arts Majoring Institute and never stopped working when I returned home, haha good fortune I guess

[VolrathCze]

I wanted to try bullwhip, but it looks pretty dangerous. I mean for selftought. So, you came back home and countinued training without teacher? or who was your teacher in the us?

[Wr2]

My wushu coaches have been many but not has influenced me more than Coach Wei Wei or Wei jin lin. by Self taught I was refering to the bullwhip. Not any of the other things

[ShaolinKungFuUSA]

@Wr2 interesting, did you actually created your bullwhip form by putting in techniques that you thought it would look great? i was wondering if you learned that from a shaolin master since the bullwhip is not much of a wushu weapon. and how long did it took you to get to this level (in bullwhip)?

Why this band it lol

[krdawg4]

Wow... I thought I was good, but seeing all this...Wow is all I can say. I still have a long ways to go. Do you think someone who is 15 and selftaught for the last 4 years can be strong enough? Well, just gonna give it all I have :)
