Everybody was Kung-Whip-Fighting part 1

One of the biggest uses I would like to work into my whip training is learning how to fight with the whip in a human chessboard/stage combat setting.

While I do not think myself or my partner are ready for a full on fight, we've been playing with a few concepts. Nothing solid, because like I said, my partner and I are still trying to get our core cracks as solid as possible. But, for your amusement, here is a *short* video of something we are playing with:


I know the ending wants to make you all vomit with cute but you can't say I didn't warn you. He is, after all, my partner.

  Anyway, I think there is something visually bad-ass about two whips going up against each other.  Like in the beginning, when I was re-watching this video, it looked like shit was really about to go down.

Our biggest hurdles will be figuring out how to play with the distance so all the moves make sense. We both have the same length of whip, 6 1/2ft, so we are equal to begin with but two people cracking whips at each other is going to get boring very quickly. We will need to coordinate it so that there are some interesting "cat and mouse" moments (so to speak). 

Anyway, those are all my thoughts on that for now.

Until Next Time,
