This is something my uncles told me when I was little: Here in the Philippines it was not a weapon, it was a hunting tool before it became a toy. It was used to ambush small game like wild pigs or deer (Philippine deer are small, almost the size of goats), these are very fast and nimble animals, difficult to chase in the jungles . Think of a flail-like device carved from wood tied to rope. The hunter would for example hide on tree branches, and wait for small game to pass by, then he would throw the yoyo at the game to stun it , injure it or if he's lucky entangle the legs. If he missed he just pulls the yoyo back and try again on the next game. I guess it can be used as an improvised weapon in a pinch, but it was originally an ambush hunting tool.
That's something to think about and also another thing to tell JJ for and something like this look up the Australian Boomerang as a weapon as well is another idea.
@@LordVader1094 My ancestors did use bows, and many of our kin in the mountain tribes still do (though most prefer using homemade guns, which we call paltik). But there are practical reasons to consider; foliage in the jungle is quite thick. When you're using a bow whose length is close to the same height as you, it's not always practical as it could get snagged. Especially when running in the jungle, or while climbing up a tree and hiding among the branches. Hence the need for something you can use with one hand, that wont get as easily snagged. Simply put, think of how "bolas" are used as a comparison. Only in this case, you throw and pull.
I had read the ancestor of the yoyo was a rock with a rope tied to it. The rope could be thrown and then collected by pulling the rope. I think this is the same Phillipines myth combined with a grain of truth in regards to the rope/stone thing. I bet most people believe this myth. I recall getting a yoyo as a lad and the manual thing that came with it actually had the weapon myth presented as fact
@@reddyredwolf3931 now that I have a bit more critical thinking skills, I have to wonder why they would not simply make spears? Even with metal working you could make a pretty nifty spear or club using many of the same materials.
@@jehoiakimelidoronila5450 that's a good idea. I probably would have tried throwing it at first, assuming I could get a somewhat round or egg shaped rock. But using a rock as a missile weapon especially with a rope or vine tied on it probably would be extremely inefficient with the energy expended to potential damage inflicted ratio very high. Hopefully you wouldn't get too uncomfortable up in the tree
0:38 “Yo-Yo Sexy Girl Cop” with that amazing transition to the flying yo-yo is on my must-watch list now. And Nelson’s use of the yo-yo at 4:03 is maybe the most obvious use as a weapon, even though not very sophisticated 😂
Johnny, you didn't put me to sleep...I was out walking the dog. In my youth I did once get bonked on the noggin by a Duncan. Damned thing wrapped around the back of my head and nailed me on the opposite ear. Simply advancing on the wielder rendered his weapon useless. Growing up in Cicero back in the 70s to 80s was so much _fun._
I just remembered reading about a yo-yo being used as a self defence weapon by Lenape women in the 1700s. "'This is your head-cracker button. If a man does not treat you with respect, you may have to use it.' It was a stone about the size of a duck egg, encased in leather at the end of the leather braid, which was of arm's length. 'You know how to throw with a sling or a bola,' the old woman said. 'In that manner, whirl this until it hums in the air. You don't need to throw it. Just step close enouugh to him, and if he is too stupid to jump back, it will put his lights out.'" - pages 213 and 214, The Red Heart by James Alexander Thom While this is a novel, the author was obsessed with historical accuracy and was married to an indigenous woman. I have no doubt about the reputability of this account.
@@junichiroyamashita It's not akin to a slingshot. The head cracker button is like a sling except it is only spun not thrown. I guess the idea is to create a circle around the woman that an abusive, unarmed man can't move through without getting knocked out. It's an anti-domestic-violence weapon
@@captainclarky5352 i said slungshot,it is a different thing. Simply swinging it around wouldn't be enough,were i the husband i would kick her or throw something at her while staying out of range. Once out of motion is harmless. They work best when used to strike rapidly and suddenly,and the accelleration given by momentum is a force multiplier for weaker people. Weapons like that were very common in Europe and America in the last century,and in medieval judicial duels between husband and wife it was the weapon of the woman,while the man used a club.
When I was in Elementary school, I was playing freeze tag with some kids. There was this one kid who Kept taunting me and I couldnt manage to catch him. But with a butterfly Yo-yo in my pocket, and this myth/legend in my head I got an Idea. I slipped the yo-yo on and when he ran away I managed to wrap the Yo-yo around his leg and pulled it out from under him. Then, as he got up, I tagged him. Felt guilty as hell about it later, but it was one of the coolest moments of my early childhood.
@@kellychuang8373 I don't think Johnny has made a boomerang video. The channel *Shadiversity* recently (yesterday I think) uploaded a video titled *"We tested SOKKA'S BOOMERANG from Avatar: Last Airbender, the results were CRAZY!"* If you're interested in boomerangs you might want to watch it. I personally haven't watched the video yet.
Yoyo Yoko in the thumbnail. Johnny's the cultured hero we need. Sad I didn't get to see another lesser known yoyo wielder in Malin. She was my go-to in KOF 2003 for tormenting people.
The one weapon use I can think of in the modern day would be as an a weapon of assassination. Basically using the string to strangle someone, and then walk away without anyone being the wiser. If you were stopped and searched, few would suspect the yoyos sting as the murder weapon.
One example you missed, Johnny, is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze, where Michelangelo is doing such a weapons-feat with a yo-yo.
Amusingly, I always thought that the whip (a lightsaber variant of which is infamously used by Lumiya in Star Wars Legends works) and chainlink spears (Kyouko Sakura from Puella Magi Madoka Magica) felt more at ease on combat compared to this kiddie sports implement. By the way, am surprised that notable combat yo-yo weaponeers Marinette Dupain-Cheng/Ladybug (Miraculous) and Carul Mendoza (GUNxSWORD) aren't here. Addendum: Anywho, videos on bolos and chainlink weaponry would be appreciated.
Based Pedro Flores convincing the west that his toys can be used as a weapon. PS: Although I mean there is also the balisong that is can and is used by some as things to play and have fun with, but are actually real weapons.
theres a scene in 3 ninjas high noon at mega mountain where rocky uses a yoyo and does around the world on a bad guy same move is done in another movie called ernest goes to africa
You missed the german cult film “Der Wixxer” (2004) - Inspector Very Long is portrayed as a Yo-Yo expert and uses this in the final showdown against the villain.
Elementary school in the 80s and 90s, there was a professional Yo-yo man once a year. He was a magician with that thing. I was only able to hit myself in the face a number of times. Thanks, Johnny
Another weapon you don't see anywhere is the atlatl. It is less powerful and has a shorter effective range than a bow and arrow but more powerful than a spear or javelin. It doesn't require a long bow and string or long body, making them easier to conceal or carry while still providing ranged attacks. Reportedly the films “Age of Dragons” and "The Silencing" contain use of the weapon.
Hey Johnny, if you feel that you need to do goofier videos to lighten things up then go right on ahead! Sure military history is interesting but sometimes you just need to do something more light hearted. Have a good one
There was also a variation of the Yo-Yo that was also a Chinese Martial Arts weapon called the Rope Dart. It was basically a long rope tied to a Kunai or a Sharp Point or a Sharp Knife at the end. Just like the Meteor Hammer it was used at great effect and caused massive damage to a enemies body.
Although the Yo Yo wasn’t a weapon, the frisbee certainly was. In India it was known as the “chakram” and it was this big circular ring/blade of steel which was thrown like a frisbee
Not enough Sukeban Deka footage in this one. 2:28 In Russian Empire, flails and slungshots were quite common, and slungshot aka gasilo could be concealed up one's sleeve. Let the weight drop and then swing.
I still think a metal Yo-Yo would make for a scary improvised weapon and we don't see this much outside of fiction do to the risks and difficulties involved in using any modern Yo-Yo as a weapon( rather then lacking in potential to injure foes).
I had read the Filipinos used very heavy yo yos and would hide in trees until the unsuspecting enemy was under the trees. The Filipinos would hurl the yo yo straight down striking their enemies in the head causing death. If they miss their intended target, they can pull the yo yo back up and do it again.
It is indeed hard to find the true origin of yo-yos, However my mum reckoned she’s a descendant of the Igorot tribe of the Philippines in the ilocano area She has made mention of yo-yos as hunting tools for small game as opposed to weapons Suspicion was it was more like a rounded rock with a rope around the middle
Seriously? No scene of Michaelangelo substituting his nunchucks with a yo-yo in the veey first fight scene of Teenage Ninja Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: Secret of the Ooze? Disappointed 😢
Cmon, Johnny. Not a single clip from Miraculous Ladybug? You’ve gotta be kidding me! (The protagonist’s magic yo-yo is indestructible and has an infinite cord.)
Were yo-yos ever used as a weapon? No...but yes.😅😅 The thing about toys, especially in ancient times when it took more time and resources to make, is that they were learning tools for adulthood. So yes, I can see a yo-yo in some form being a weapon at one time.

Why wouldn't you just use a bow at that point?

That type of flail weapons seems to be popular with women across the globe. More than a yo yo the descriptions makes it look like a slungshot.

A yo-yo may not be a practical weapon but a yo-yo is still a step up from nunchucks.

Back when I took Karate, my sense told us “anything can be a weapon.” However, a yo-yo, maybe if you throw it at someone it’ll give them a black eye?

There was a similar thing in real life. The Japanese kusarigama, which is basically a chain sickle with an iron weight at one end
Were there any cybernetic firearms ever used successfully, such as Cherry Darling's AR leg?
There's the flying guillotine crab trap from boondocks. Seen it used like a yo-yo.
