I own pants that don't have pockets or belt loops. Sometimes I'm too lazy to change into pants that do, but I want to go grab food. I put the lanyard around my neck.
@@qhu3878INTERVIEWER: So why are you no longer with your last employer ME: Sorry to answer with a question, just trying to gauge my response - do you know the difference between a centerline spin and backline spin?
Why is this the first time seeing someone do this that has made me think "okay, I'm definitely going to hurt myself trying but I could totally learn that"? Every single other time I see this kind of stuff I just admire the talent and skills
Unfortunately, you can't block or parry. Two things a simple staff can do which is more intuitive, more versatile and more dangerous to your opponent. This is a glorified yo-yo, not a weapon.
Youre kidding right? The only person you're gonna damage is a person with no legs that can't move. This weapon is not a weapon at all. Cool tricks though
Theres a learning curve, but the barrier to entry is a tennis ball on a piece of string, or 2, 3, 5,7 or 9 bits of 3/4" wood and some split rings, and an open patch of grass or sand. If you can hulahoop, you can ropedart. If you can swing a rope around and bend your arms, you can ropedart. With time you can star wrapping and launching off different bodyparts. I learned by slowing down shanghai noon, and watching flow videos from burning man. when your ready you can upgrade to good cotton rope and a heavy duty kong dog toy. Then, a 3kg steel cannonball welded to a u-bolt on a 12ft section of heavy bicycle chain and you become a one man wrecking crew
You look like a dude who i’ve seen different parts of in different movies. The face, the hair, the facial hair, the posture. Also, really love how it sounds when you explain things, i appreciate the cadence with which you speak
I bought a kunai to do this with since the “dart” it originally came with didn’t stick into wood targets. Of course I’m not insane and recommend anyone to start with a rubber ball or something first. My sparring/training rope dart is just a training knife on a rope. Also look into kyoketsu shoge shibari jutsu. It’s a fun skill knowing how to throw a knot towards anyone dumb enough to grab the dart
i actually think im going to learn it just from this my guy the knot comment is what sold me since i always thought the biggest weakness besides being a nunchuk type weapon where you spent a lot of attention to not hurt yourself and the other weakness was it being grabbed but now with this and other techniques im gonna put the effort also for people reading this dont expect an update unless i git good and became bruce lee also also its easy to learn hard to master so you should keep at it and dont let yourself be disuayed if it dont work out as easy as it came ^^
@@Sekkiryuutei 100% agree just need to keep at it! I’ve been training rope dart since 2016 and that’s why I feel confident enough to train with a sharp kunai instead of a dart. Lol also glad I can help point out the one technique that took me years to come across on my own, one tip is if you’re going to practice shibari jutsu it helps to have the basics down for throwing bo-shuriken (throwing spikes). Also kunai and chain would be amazing but I live in Canada, the rope dart is just barely legal as is lol
And that, my friends, is why key chains were banned in my middle and high schools. They were also used as an example of an improvised weapon during my conscription stint's self-defense course, so there's that. (Albeit the trainer basically explained them as being used like chain maces or whips, but still.)
I started practicing with a ping-pong ball wrapped in a monkey's fist knot, letting the last thread be my cord! Very practical to get some range and go very fast without the fear of seriously hurting yourself. My favourite thing was the whistling sound when I spun it overhead, very soothing ^^
Fun fact: They're also some of the hardest to use effectively. This is because the opponent can attempt to tank the first hit and disarm you. The same is true about most flexible weapons.
Hey you know when you hear someone talk like that about ANY DAMN thing, they are passionate about it and love every minute. That's a reason for living right there 😅
Always twirled my charger cords, extension cords, and really anything that has flexibility and range. Never knew i was secretly preparing myself for my true calling. KEYS
I used to spin poi a lot. About twenty years ago, I was dating a lovely American girl, who had a dad in the military, and we had been given use of a beach apartment he had access to, on the military base in SanDiego. Early one morning, I was out on the stoop, spinning poi made from tennis balls, when a guy who had been taking dawn photos of the surfers walked by, and watched for a moment. I said “Morning”, and he asked if they were tennis balls on those chains. “Yes”, I replied, “these are just practice poi”. “Oh, so, do the real ones have, like, spikes on them?” he asked. I explained to him that the ‘real’ ones were made from Kevlar rope that you soak in kerosene, and set on fire, and perform fire shows, typically where music is being played out, etc. He thought about this for a while and said, “So… they’re like… pom-poms?”, and just like that, I realised that in his eyes, I had gone from special forces sabat ninja, to cheerleader. Any time I was asked about the practice poi after that, I’d always tell people that the real ones have poison tipped razor sharp blades.
Javelins are not spun on a rope and slings were used to launch the projectile not bludgeon the target while it is still in the sling. The reason flexible weapons are not considered practical weapons is that you are about as likely to hurt yourself using them to fight than the enemy. You can become effective on the battle field with much less training with a sword or stick than a nun chuck or flail. They do however make great exibition weapons as twirling these things around without getting hurt looks impressive as hell.
Flexible weapons are also exceptionally easy to defend against, the short and boring answer is to use a ranged weapon like a bow, crossbow, or even (yes the most basic and over stated response) a gun. The second more technical and somewhat dangerous option is a long ridged weapon ideal something like a hafted pole weapon or a long sword that you are willing to sacrifice in order to tangle and nullify the flexy weapon and draw a side arm like a short sword, axe, or dagger and get in close. You just have to know your distance and timing well enough and there’s the possibility that the flexy weapon is also sacrificial so they can get your primary weapon out of the way and draw their own side arm Sorry for my poor punctuation skills but tbh I simply couldn’t be bothered.

I like how you frame it as "Easy to learn, hard to master." Essentially encouraging people to start and keep at it.
He should frame it as "easy to learn, hard to master and completely impractical"
@@TheRealBrit atleast it's cool 😎, and its intimidation point no enemy ganna go near a spinning blade
@@TheRealBrit tbf nunchucks are also completely useless but people still learn them
@@grizzlypandasasquatch9026 yeah, they were useful once, but now they're just cool, but oh are they good at being cool
@grizzlypandasasquatch9026 very true, I mean both still look pretty cool so that's a big appeal
This is the first good argument for lanyard keys I've ever seen
If you loop them around one of your belt loops you will never lose them and if they fall out of your pocket they won’t be lost on the ground
I own pants that don't have pockets or belt loops. Sometimes I'm too lazy to change into pants that do, but I want to go grab food. I put the lanyard around my neck.
I used to let it hang out of my pocket as a kid and it would grab every drawer/knob and me with it lol
I've always kept them in my jacket pocket.
@@japanadian879 why would you buy pants with no pockets? That just seems like poor planning waiting to happen.
"i will show you with a set of keys" gives off mcnally "this is a masterlock. It can be opened with another masterlock" vibes
I’m glad you pointed out that we as humans do this subconsciously. I was like “yeah, uh huh, I do that”
Maybe that's why we really like these weapons.
HR: You.... you used what against your co-worker?
Me: Ancient Martial Arts
HR: That's worst than just hitting them with keys...

ME: Sorry to answer with a question, just trying to gauge my response - do you know the difference between a centerline spin and backline spin?
Rope dart is so much cooler than glowsticks 😢 lol
Both are rather dope, to be honest, when done well.
Fire Poi looks sick, Polynesian glow sticks lol
Don't yuck people's yum. Both poi and rope dart are beautiful arts.
Why is this the first time seeing someone do this that has made me think "okay, I'm definitely going to hurt myself trying but I could totally learn that"? Every single other time I see this kind of stuff I just admire the talent and skills
Do it! If you want to. Bruises heal, accomplishment is worth it!
Honestly, getting hurt while learning only makes it more satisfying to finally get it right
Beautiful demonstration of locating the 20% anyone needs to be effective!
TRUE: the longer the rope is the more skilled you are

Another great truth born from this wisdom is that in all things there are easy ways to start. Only thing that stops you from starting is you.
AHHHHH!!!! I am so happy to see this!!!! Flexible weapons like these are so common and versatile! Thank you for posting!

@@jamesmcternen4608thats why im practicing a flail, these knights wont know what or where it hit em
@@bongboi2831 Dequitem did a couple nice videos with flails.
@ i like the flails he uses but i love the welded chain to ball approach cuz your never gonna break that
Youre kidding right? The only person you're gonna damage is a person with no legs that can't move. This weapon is not a weapon at all. Cool tricks though
What about the sideline, center stall, backspin, 37.5° weave kick flip, Bangkok handshake?
This feels like going to the skatepark and listening to the old heads talk abt freestyle tricks

the sideline center-line back line spin with reverse grip forward hand counterswing is such an underrated technique
Absolutely brilliant way to explain that.

Cool! I've hit my face 3 times just watching, but still pretty cool 😅
Pulls pistol. Starts spinning keys. puts pistol down and puts hands up. You win. GG kind sir.
Fun!! We use all the same techniques and same names too in poi dancing. ❤️
I think saying it was an accident would get me in less trouble than telling them I practicing martial arts on living subjects.
I started practicing with a ping-pong ball wrapped in a monkey's fist knot, letting the last thread be my cord! Very practical to get some range and go very fast without the fear of seriously hurting yourself. My favourite thing was the whistling sound when I spun it overhead, very soothing ^^
I was doing this once and my lanyard snapped causing my keys to go flying over a classmate’s head… can confirm this technique is quite dangerous

Rope dart and poi spinning look so f**king fun to me.

We spent an awful lot of time spinning whistles around as lifeguards.
This is pretty cool
