Kung Fu Weapons - Nine Section Whip

[@Lanephotography222]

Just ordered one of these. Can't wait to break my own face.

[@nslater1388]

So...did you break your own face?

[@Lanephotography222]

I clipped my nose bridge once and split it! Lol

[@culinarywithchris9213]

Just be careful. The nine section whip is a very hard weapon to use. I'm still having trouble using it! XD

[@kenneth9343]

Lol

[@CoreyShelton57]

You will live I did all it did is split my face open it’s not that bad it’s just stings so bad you can’t feel it

[@gamrage]

One thing I notice from practicing with Chinese weapons, is how well linked they are. You use sword, staff, spear techniques all as one, as well as bull whips and chain whips.. Most people see all the weapons as different styles, but they're all fundamentally practiced the same way.

[@theMAG101]

"Students of kung fu are more likely to injure themselves when learning whip than any other weapon." Rope dart and three-section staff are both more difficult and dangerous.

[@jaredflynn3750]

I would argue the three section staff is a little bit harder than both of those I train in meteor hammer and rope dart and it's pretty intuitive once you get the basic mechanics down I found learning nunchucks was harder so I guess the three section staff would be closer to that

[@yamba01]

People love to watch me use this weapon. Even when not used as swiftly, it's a lovely weapon to watch. I describe my relationship with it to that of a cobra: you must build great harmony with it, or it shall strike it's master

[@SavageInsight]

Not a division, but clarity. Yin and yang by definition are not divided.

[@devooved123]

i got a 11 sectional whip and it rocks. I went to the world karate championships.

[@pzykotikal]

I remember training with this weapon when I went to china in 2002... hurt myself a shitload of times because the tip hit me everywhere on my body... I had a big-ass bump on my head... and that was when swinging cautiously... I can only imagine the kind of damage that is done when striking at full force... XD

[@videohunter27]

Kratos chained blades

[@GreatestCreation909]

finally someone who understands that martial arts isn't some bs. like you said you just gotta think logical to use it streetwise.

[@cosmonauthal7651]

Pshhh give me 300 years and one without the dart and I could flip it once...One the second try.

[@sleeve318]

@Alesandros356 this is a monk's weapon. the monks were pacifists, it is against their code to be the aggressors. but the temple had valuable art pieces that were worth alot of money, so bandits would target them. the monks would swing the chain whip in hopes that they would scare off the uncommitted. as far as actually hitting people, its the exact same concept as with a sword, stick, fist, or any other weapon. get them in range before swinging.

[@finnainsley9088]

Watch me whip Now watch me Bing qi

[@CuppaTea101]

same thing as poi. totally awesome.

[@mehDOGIESRATS2222]

Poe e air tuku poe arr rofl . Great song . Use to do it as a kid at school . Not sure with the spelling being a white boy from gisy tbh . kzbin.info/www/bejne/eoKvhqydiJV8d7M

[@HexadecibalVJ]

just found my old 9 section whip a few minutes ago. may take it outside and beat myself in the back of the head a few times with it for old times sake in a few. god the number of times i've knocked myself out with this thing. but still remains one of my favorites.

[@mehDOGIESRATS2222]

You can hurt yourself even with a bow staff lol . So hart to imagine a whip . Stock whips are fun tho and they make a massive crack if you do it right .

[@Leagoshi]

i love these and the rope dart, buying a whip because practiceing the rope dart is so fun!!!!

[@1p4142136]

I can’t find it but there is another similar whip of 🇮🇳 India origin. Per the History Channel it has been documented in fights against several opponents in which 5 opponents were killed in less than a minute by one single man wielding such a whip.

[@COOL_DAD]

😮

[@Algahiem]

When a good time turns around, you must whip it! You will never live it down, unless you whip it! No one gets away until they whip it!

[@TulanePass]

When you have this weapon.. its kinda hard not to blink.

[@mehDOGIESRATS2222]

Rofl so true . Esp if you swinging something around . Even shooting rifle is very dangerous because you get pink eye from it smashing you in the face lol . But that is very noob thing to do . I shot 30.06 at the age of 16 , thing can dislocate your shoulder rofl . Esp if you don't hold it correctly . Thing kicked like a mofo . My firearms class at school all thought I was insane . And none of them would try it . They were like na fck that shit , that's way too hardcore lol . They were like you are nuts , and my teacher thought I was the man lol . Shot a 45 magnium rifle down this train tunnel one day out hunting with a few friends . They were like wtf bro you are insane , made this massive sonic boom rofl and thud sound . And I shot the shit out of this sign down the train track . Guy wasn't to impressed with that , they were like what if someone walking down there . But obviously they weren't I would of seen them rofl . That 45 is an awesome weapon , I need one of these Whips , they look cool as hell . Love a good Compound bow also . Ok I admit it was a bit silly . But we were miles from no where . The chances are probably one in a million someone would of been walking out there on that track esp after hearing all our gun shots lol . Why on earth would you walk towards gun shots .

[@akai454]

Hell yeah, especially if the person starts screaming when they get close to you. That is amazing, I'd love to learn it.

[@Darigan104]

It only hurts if you manage to get the end, if its in the middle of the whip it bends around and smashes you in the body somewhere.

[@sevenswordsrory]

It is not the weapon or the technique that is important, but the user.

[@HarrisonGlazier2]

@CarlisleAwesomeness soft weapon as in it is not attached to a solid object (i.e. Staff/ Spear) so they are free to move in any direction.

[@qqaazzqqaazz3741]

Dwarf fortress lashers always be like this.

[@LordRixuel]

somehow, it remind me of castlevania xD

[@tweaker1bms]

Agreed. In fact, in doing high kicks in Hankido class I was surprised at how little momentum/force they had near the height of them -especially being barefoot. While mock sparring I doubted I could hurt the other guy if I tried -at least with a high kick. (granted I was a beginner...)One needs to be close, connecting at the middle of the action.

[@shanejohnson2002]

To that comment I say this: "Honorable" combat has no place in today's battleground, and using a gun no more makes one weak than using a bow and arrow made one weak in Medieval times. And like it or not, whether used by a weak man or a dedicated, disciplined professional, a gun is a weapon just like any other. Just because you don't recognize the "honor" in using a gun, doesn't mean that you'll be any less dead when someone shoots you while you're impotently flailing your sword about.

[@shanejohnson2002]

Ok son...tell you what. You pick any gun you want, and I'll take my trusty US Army issued M-16 (seeing as how I'm IN the Army). Now, set us up 100 meters from each other. Easy shot, right? You'd be surprised at how many times I've been missed by insurgents at LESS than 15 meters. And yes, I don't miss from 15 meters. Let alone 100 meters. ;)

[@WildWhips]

Thats crazy insane but so awesome!

[@bulliztik]

we (as humans) are not going to make weapons, or anything for that matter that are progressively harder and harder to use. we make things to aid us, not hinder

[@PaganShagger]

''SAAYBURRR'' gotta love chinese english ascent

[@Barryms0083]

omg, the shaolin guy at the first part uses two 9 section whips! his crazy! not many people can use even 1 whip.

[@bulliztik]

you also forget to point out that they only have guns and zero military training, whereas you have a fully equipped weapon systems and remote intel.

[@ashjfkhaui]

This is so awesome. I have one of those.:) But I can't wield it that fast though.XD

[@Omegashrimp9]

yeah, I suppose your right, it's not like an ordinary whip.

[@MrJackswan]

This is what the kid who doesn't behave at all in school gets to do. Let 'im learn to use a nine section whip perfectly, and maybe he'll bother us all at home a little less.

[@rimefrostkitten]

Never seen a cinematic depiction of this besides Soul Calibre.

[@SunSheepOfLight]

Chains ⛓ are cool!

[@Are0hEssEss]

That was a rope dart @ the gentleman who made the Scorpion reference. :P

[@mr.tamimi8854]

The saying in the end lmao

[@memoryelena]

My very first thought was that you're going to hurt yourself learning it... a lot. No thanks, but very very awesome to watch.

[@tiatrips]

I'm a usual fan of Japanese weapons, but the closest I can think of to this is a kusari-gama, which is a chain sickle. After seeing this thing move, I should probably start looking into these weapons more.

[@mattylikespie115]

modern weaponry is by no means weak but answer me this which would you rather see a sword fight between two masters or a shootout i know which i would wish to see

[@mehDOGIESRATS2222]

Swords everyone time wins . Ya know that shits going to be fcking brutal as fck lol .

[@SunPing32]

Wonderful Skills!!!

[@destinyp43]

When I get this whip, I WOULD NAME IT VAMPIRE KILLER!!!!

[@michaelgrace7728]

the beginning tho like dame

[@antebellumraus3]

@CarlisleAwesomeness lolz, they are also known as flexible weapons; a less confusing term.

[@gmeaki02]

Thanks for upload

[@Jindou586]

Haha. It's not bad quality. He's just swinging it so fast that you only catch glimpses of it. XD

[@NoLuan]

I have a 7-section whip, it is made of steel and its doulbe heavy than normals, but it's powerful easily to break one's head

[@Slayman3909]

THIS is the whip used in Dwarf Fortress

[@bulliztik]

that just proves how easy an efficient they are. just the ability to be able to kill someone from such a distance is amazingly cheap. i used to be in a gun club here in Australia, but i left it because i saw how guns were such a waste of time, just after i had been intoduced to a gun (.22 bolt action, no scope) for the first time i was already hitting targets at 50 meters.

[@CoGhostRider]

I was going to go buy one until the end lol

[@shanejohnson2002]

Have you ever tried to shoot a gun? The RIGHT way? It's very difficult. Breath control, proper sight picture, cheek weld, and a smooth controlled trigger pull are HARD to master.

[@Thenightwatcher5]

Retsu really used this against mushashi

[@BJPr12]

Run!

[@Yellow-Ninja-Tactical]

Nothing a uzi can't Handel ;-)

[@CeeeX]

0:11 " I! WANT! MY! NUN!CHUCKS!!!! "

[@krashandburntoashes]

I've hurt myself sooo many times with my chain whip, even made myself bleed twice... fun times...&& i dont consider it a secondary weapon, nope nope, my chain whip is my #1!!! followed by my staff for #2 :D

[@Minazki]

Whip has more range so it has better advantage against other weapons. Nunchuks are really good also, but they have lack of range. Nunchuks are easy to train, whip isn't. They are both pretty equal. Choose the one you find better.

[@dethkruzer]

I could see that sharp weight doing some nasty bruises and lacerations if you got it to skim along the victim's skin.

[@jelloofhell]

damn its like having a forcefield

[@msane4XX]

i want to see more!!

[@GCS88]

regarding on the range the whip obviously wins it, the only thing on whip is that it only takes one hit to ruins its balance

[@BZ98]

Its tough form to learn XD learning it is painful hahaha but so fun haha....

[@ngroschen]

Wheeeeeeeeee!

[@Ryuus31]

@1992marshmallow True but even if you use guns you'll always needa train in close combat too, I mean people use guns and knifes but this chain whip is even better than a knife sometimes

[@hoszex]

Love this weapon, but I'm still too afraid to break something that I could start to learn the Jiu Jie Bian. :( Well, maybe in a couple of years.

[@eborge9711]

0:13 Uhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuuhuhuuhuhuhuhuhuh

[@DragonoftheRust]

that is what guns are for :P

[@Goated.]

0:12 - 0:18 lmaooooooo

[@MrCoconutdream]

@krashandburntoashes dude....no way! Those are MY first two choices when i do wushu as well! except, my cudgel is my first weapon. and my whip is my second... :D

[@lance1236451]

looks more like dancing than kungfu to me

[@LionheartTMV]

you could prolly block bullets with these

[@cfort924]

That's the weapon I use.

[@somethincool97]

@LiteulLynx Usually between 41 inches to 60 inches

[@msane4XX]

same with the chain mace.

[@jack91x]

@1992marshmallow No. I'm in the army, and they still teach unarmed combat and knife fighting. Guns have been around for hundreds of years, and these weapons coexisted with firearms for about 500 years. And guns make noise, so for stealth, they suck. Also, like KidRaggedBoy posted, if you know how to use the weapon, you can make an improvised one in a pinch.

[@EmilyIsSucsessful]

That's me.

[@whiteblacklife]

*mouth drops open*

[@ksinghm]

I do gatka, a sikh martial art and observing the technique and moves, i think this is awsome. I also do Double nine section whips But wanted to increase. Wanted to if the whip in this video, is made from really light metal/material ????

[@daf867]

it means they bend

[@lcchpff]

wonder how many times he got himself before he got it right

[@100percentserious]

well, yeah every weapon has to be learned step by step also in my opinion the chain whip's flower is pretty simple and in my opinion this video isn't really suppose to be 5 star ratng

[@djohnson3678]

the oriental is correct, while training, or on the field using it, all he would hear ( from moving so fast ) would be the whip : whhaapeeekk, whhaapeeekk , whhaapeeekkahh ... . followed by a Bruce lee '' WHHOOOOooohhh '' , quickly turing around rubbing his ass.

[@kirkygirl]

Ok, I'm sorry but remind me not to get your aunties relatives after my backside! Of course, I mean all the best to you and your relations, but the Maori are said to be some of the most dangerous people-esp. on the rugby pitch! :D

[@3incati]

this may be missing the point but didn't they have some form of projectiles? even if these weapons could strike 30 feet a blowgun could go further, these might be interesting to study and use now but could they really be used as decent weapons?

[@Sakij76]

that would probably get the most views of any youtube video lol

[@bayonetta5101]

Bayonetta brought me here xD

[@granthashimoto4385]

Willow Jeanne Bodyguards and Assassins for me haha

[@keast18]

10 people got struck with a whip

[@TheEggKing777]

@Ryboy1381 It was probably requested by the TV people. Flashy moves get better ratings than the alternative. Also, "they're" has an apostrophe. Just a heads up.

[@Telacore]

@keast18 more like got struck IN HALF with a whip...and then accidently hit the dislike button as their upper half said bye bye to their lower half :P

[@Michaele1991]

Reminds me of the scene from Indiana Jones

[@evilwhtmage]

damn, i need to learn to do that! haha

[@sorrelsquirrel]

aaaaaahhhhhhhh i confused!!! too much spining!! lol i would just stand there looking like an idiot trying to use this weapon 5/5 friggen awesome!!!!!!

[@Omegashrimp9]

Whip would probably do better in this fight because of range but nunchaku does alot more damage if it hits.

[@DeadlySinzzz]

does anyone know what documentary that is from?

[@Alesandros356]

how do you attack with this....it looks like its only to keep people at a distance

[@linux750]

i wonder how come Scorpion from Mortal Combat didn't use his "pointed whips" in this way.

[@Iceslab]

No clue why those would be considered secondary weapons... Unless your fighting full plate chain weapons can dominate the field of combat. Next to impossible to parry, and damn near harder to dodge... Chain Whips are vicious.

[@granthashimoto4385]

Iceslab The reason they were secondary weapons were because they were small enough to easily carry at one's side. Plus, blades were much more effective weapons for killing.

[@Tausami]

Iceslab Also, they aren't very practical unless you're fighting by yourself. Generally in a battle an old-timey soldier would have other soldiers from the same side around them. With a sword you can work together with other people, with a chain whip you're just gonna lacerate everyone. Besides, it's difficult to defend yourself with a whip.

[@user-ul6bm8pt2y]

+Iceslab Next to impossible to keep for more than two strikes. -> Lose your weapon, lose your life. Also you can't use such a weapon next to your allies. All in all I really doubt that it was used was war(!!)-weapon at all. Guess it was fancy duelling and arts stuff.

[@Peri001]

Part of using a whip effectively in combat is to stop swinging it around..hold both ends and use it for grappling, defense, parry, strangulation..etc.. then, when/if opportunity opens.. strike!

[@choiettech]

Perry R. Roll but wars in China have been known to be very chaotic so it would be useful in the mist of fear and confusion.

[@PatrickQT]

yeah, looks dangerous but i think if u just kick someone, u'll get a better effect :)
