Thank you! :)

Great you and your girlfriend are starting it together 😄

@@Vultimo It was her idea haha. She got inspired by Castlevania.

@@ryanchall5333 Hah, great, the video game or the anime?

@@Vultimo In this case the anime. I'm not normally an Anime fan, but I make an exception for that show since I loved it too.

I also really enjoyed that particular anime 😁

I'm glad you enjoy it! 😁

Haha, glad I've inspired you 😄

Thank you! I'm glad to inspire people 😊.

Thanks a lot! 😄

Thanks a lot! 😁

Thanks, hope you'll try it out yourself :)

Thanks a lot for the feedback :) I'm also a visual learner ;)

Thanks a lot! Glad you appreciate it 😊

@@Vultimo to get to the standard of skill you have how long have you being practicing with the hammer?

I've been practicing for about 1.5 years on and off. However, I had some prior experience with flowing weapons such as the staff, chain whip and the montane/spadone.

Wrong video?

Thank you 😄

You're welcome, glad to hear that you're having fun with your foam weapons 😄👍

@@Vultimo I’m still working on the windmill, but the forward shot I’m decent at for sure.

Great, you'll get the windmill as well 😉👍

Hey, I'm glad that I could help with the inspiration! From my experience, it's actually quite difficult to wield a rope dart when wearing long and loose clothes because the rope tends to get caught in long clothing, since the rope actually moves around your body quite a lot.

Thanks for you praise ☺️. I am indeed self-taught. I've learned a lot through KZfaq videos and just experimenting with the rope dart.

That sounds great! I actually did a lot of staff training before the meteor hammer and the concept of continuous movements definitely translates from one to the other.

Thank you! I learned this body wrapping method from this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aLhkma6eytHNmZc.html&ab_channel=acidblood13

i think it's attatched to the keyrings? thats how i'm doing it anyway

I started doing staff and sword when I was around 18, then did some unarmed martial arts (thai boxing, aikido, karate), got into HEMA for a while and at around 24 started with flexible weapons like meteor hammer ;)

@@Vultimo are you going to make more videos? The tutorials are perfect 🥰

Thank you 😊. I don't have much time at the moment, I might continue the tutorials in the future 😉.

Hey, I would recommend cotton braided rope, ca. 8 mm thick 😉

@@Vultimo thank you again, I’ll look for this kind now

Yeah, I'm still here 😉 I wouldn't recommend using a chain since the rope has to slide through your hands which a chain cannot. However, some people in the fire spinning community use a short chain directly connected to the head end since it would be lit on fire, but as far as I know, not the whole rope would be a chain.

Thank you! No, I don't live in Thailand.

I actually built this meteor hammer myself, as you can see at the end of the video. However, you can also purchase a meteor hammer or rope dart online, there are many martial arts shops online that offer them 😉

I would suggest you start with a safe version of the meteor hammer where you only tie a tennis ball to a cotton rope. Once you've got a bit more practice, you can increase the weight of the tennis ball by adding some coins (and closing it properly) 😉

Hi, glad you've started meteor hammer! In the beginning, I started using fingerless bicycle gloves but actually you want to protect the whole of your lead hand index finger as your index finger will be in constant contact with the rope. If you are serious about meteor hammer, I'd recommend to not use gloves though, since then you'll be able to build up a small amount of callous on your fingers that you'll need. Also be sure to use soft cotton rope that's not too abrasive to your fingers.

I am trying to make foam weapons to spar with friends and maybe transfer into the real weapon on my own and I was just wondering how different the technique would be

I'm not sure if these techniques would also apply to the kusarigama since the kama probably behave differently when thrown/shot out. But I think it would be a lot of fun nonetheless to make a foam kusarigama and try these techniques 😁

Thank you for your comment 😄. I'd love to continue doing instructional videos on the meteor hammer, I might continue during the summer 😉.

That sounds great!!!!!thanks

Ah, great, nice to know 😄

I didn't tie it to the rope, instead there is a hole in the middle of the cloth and it's just hand stitched to the rope ;)

@@Vultimo I gotta hand stich it ?

It's fking insane, have you seen Scorpio from Mortal Kombat?

@@MonkeyD.aarush yeah bro I also take life lessons from video games 💀

Oh, nice. I was about to ask what it was. Thx.
