Meteor Hammer 流星錘 - Short Game

A brief video showing a few of my favorite short-range techniques with the meteor hammer. There are many up-close and personal options for use. Mostly grappling, locking and choking, but also some good strikes too.
I do what I like to call a "thirds-fold," whereby the rope is literally folded into thirds between my hands, either all of it for grappling use (or stabbing if it's a rope dart), or leaving several inches of slack to the hammer to use as a two-handed flail. It is more stable and has more power than simply holding the rope via one strand and in one hand.
Obviously you can punch and kick normally that way and at any second, you can throw it all back out.
Keep in mind, I am not advocating violence or defense with this tool. Merely expressing the martial intent of this art.
