Shaolin Kungfu includes the use of fists and weapons. According to Shaolin records, it has both long and short weapons. The meteor hammer is a soft weapon, a metal head tied to a rope that can strike by surprise due to swinging.
Chen Tongchuan, 54, is the headmaster of the Dengfeng Wushu School in central China's Henan Province. He has been practicing Wushu for more than 40 years. The meteor hammer is his best practice. #kungfu #chinesekungfu #wushu

They are rebellious teenagers... just like the meteor hammer itself. A staff will listen to it's wielder, and be obedient, generally, as it has no disconnect from the body when grasped.
The meteor hammer, or any other soft weapon, is rebellious. It is free of influence from the body but it still must be tamed. It is stubborn and to impose on it is only a way to hurt oneself.
So it's almost poetic in that there are such similarities between being a young rebellious teen and wielding one in weapon form.
This is the weapon that screams 'true mastery'
It screams fake martial arts and pretenciousness
@@anitabonghit2758 I’m pretty sure it’s taught for discipline purpose and not practicality, because realistically, a gun beats all martial arts.
@@cyclonical6771 im not talking about a gun. Im talking about ancient warfare; swords, spears, clubs......this can be beaten unarmed
@@anitabonghit2758 There isn’t much (if any) evidence that it was used in historical combat. Only thing I found was that it was used for hunting, and even then it was used to entangle, not kill.
@@cyclonical6771 thats plausable. But the fake martial arts fanboys in the comments say otherwise without basis
Ever since I was a tiny child in the Bay Area, I wanted to learn Meteor Hammer. What a privilege it would be, if I could take lessons from this gentleman.
I happen to be in the Bay Area and am learning this weapon at a Shaolin Temple school teacher right now and it's an amazing weapon!
*More kids hoppin the fence other kids get caught
Headmaster: oh you thought you were slick huh?
Such a fantastically impractical and showy weapon. Beautiful and elegant in trained hands, but chaotic and useless in the untrained. This is the kinda thing that you wouldn't expect to see in medieval combat but -if it ever did show up- you would probably want to avoid at all costs. Its like a short range sling with no reload time and no ammo in the hands of a master.
These would be my go to weapons in an apocalypse scenario
If you know how to use them
@@chairboi7160 they do require training, but “everybody knows that the best way to learn is under intense life-threatening situations”
But in all seriousness, in an actual apocalypse scenario, I would need to join a group of survivors for protection as I master the meteor Hammer
you need a lot of PRACTICE.
That would be a very foolish choice. The only place this weapon has is in civil society in 1v1 fights to protect yourself, complementing a gun and knives you also carry should your less lethal weapon fail or prove insufficient for the problem at hand
Practice makes perfect because perfection comes from repetition

I've always felt perfection is never truly achieved,only the endless growth in the pursuit of it.
The staff, a hard weapon, is understandable, and-- though fast-- predictable, if you are also fast. The meteor hammer, a soft weapon, is always at least somewhat chaotic and unpredictable, even to the wielder, who must learn to move with the weapon's occasionally surprising reactions to their intent. Such is the difference between the era of hard power-- when our nations achieved relative peace only by battling each other to stalemates and gradually letting animosity cool to mutual respect-- and the era of soft power, where we must now achieve and maintain peace by demonstrating and discussing our ideas and practices with though and care, and come to understand and accept our differences as reinforcing strengths in a global world.
Interesting lesson and anecdote to use the Meteor Hammer to impose lessons on rowdy young youths... the Master uses a strict but measured tone to guide them and instead of severe discipline or harsh words of belittlement he chooses to encourage the young pupils and still train them with wisdom and compassion
Competitive yoyos just got a lot more dangerous
In all seriousness tho, this is super fucking cool and extremely impressive
A pendulum is one of the simplest machines in physics. But a double pendulum, with the mere addition of a single extra pivot, becomes one of the most chaotic and unpredictable machines in physics. The meteor hammer can be either, or neither, and can switch back and forth. A clever and elegant weapon, and one to be aware of, since it is one of the few ranged weapons that can be easily concealed, even from a metal detector, and one of the only concealable weapons capable of engaging multiple closing opponents at once. A good weapon for providing both a quiet entrance and the option for a noisy-- and rapid-- exit.
How could this possibly be used to best effect?
A line of wielders against charging swordsmen? Against horse cavalry?
Useless against archers, it would be effective against equal numbers of swordsmen; but, if one were outnumbered, it could only be used maybe twice before you were overwhelmed.
It’ll never be effective in a geld
Battle with multiple people, it’s rowdy and unless you can communicate your moves with your allies, the possibility of hitting compatriots is too high.
At best, this is either for performance or against singular targets
Variations of this weapon exist in various shamanic cultures, from the Arctic in the far north to the Andes and Polynesia in the south. Its mostly used as a non-lethal weapon to capture live animals (from herds or the wild), but it is still an effective weapon for hunting. Tools that can be used as weapons have the advantage of being able to be carried without raising suspicions. If I'm not mistaken, the nunchaku was originally also a farming tool.
ps: Of course, the mainstream media from certain stolen territories are inverting the facts and saying that they created it and shamanic peoples copied it, as they do with literally everything.
I googled what weapon Gogo uses in Kill Bill vol 1… niice but I’d be clumsy and probably knock my own lights out if I tried learning
looks cool, feel like just throwing a rock would be a more effective weapon though
Yeah
This weapon looks dangerous and impractical in life or death situation
I would rather use swords with short blade
Works in both closed space and open space 😂
Yeah it does but I give it the benefit of the doubt. Long ago China had these weapons for warfare so it must have been somewhat effective or at least intimidating. There’s also a fact that a gun in an untrained hand can be dangerous as shit but with practice it can be used effectively.
Get over here!
Excellent content
I want to see the next episode about the Chinese Gun staff.
我有學過超好玩👍🏻
Beautiful
Ah the Ankle taker 3000
Cousin to the Skip-It 1000
Nothing compared to the power hammers of space marines!
Or a solid piece of wood
You’re comparing a piece of metal on string to a hyper-advanced, magic infused, demon and heretic slaying masterpiece of the imperium.
What do you expect?
Thousand years of refinement/art and you fools get to see it easily vs the old days they get a glimpse of that strike before death.
No one has ever been killed by this toy. At woorst they hit themselves in the face requiring "a gew stitches"
@@anitabonghit2758"No one and never" is a strong claim dude. If You attach a pointed end it could surely cause lethal damage.
@@IknillU100x my claim is no one and never. Its a negative claim. Could someone be that stupid and died on the battle field, yeah, possible. Someone could have gone into the battle of normandy armed with a sword welded to the end of a weedwhacker too, possible, maybe, coulda-happened. You dont know that it didnt happen.
Im saying this non-lethal toy was never used in warfare. Show me evidence it was. If you cant then my claim is once again proved
@@IknillU100xexample: the rope dart
@@anitabonghit2758most intelligent keyboard warrior:
i learned how to use this during the pandemic to keep me from going crazy and yes...I learned the hard way there are no short cuts...mine had a 6inch blade at the end...i would cut myself every other day so I had to make a cover for it out of tape and paper!! lol good times!
Weapons like this are so silly. It's like nunchucks. A stick does more damage than those. Put this bit of metal on a stick and it'd do ten times the damage.
Nah.
keyboard warriors after saying a weapon that was found to be effective through centuries of real world use is bad because they don't think so:
Actual meteor hammers have larger, much heavier heads. Build enough momentum and it’s fatal. You try fighting this guy with your stick lol.
A lead ball or sharp knife, it’s a giant lock in a sock they can be devastating
Meteor hammer has longer reach than a stick though.

I was practacing with my long bow once. I shot it and accidently hit my brother and pierced him through the lung. Mum was so mad at me. She had to put on a coulple of bandaides on his wound and he went to school the next day.
Then there was a time we were sparing with long swords and he cut my head off. Mum grounded us both for 2 weeks.
Luck we never messed with this weapon because this is a serious weapon that would onflict serious damage and not just some gimmicky bullshit like a sword or a bow.
Thats why it was the standard weapon of war until it was sjrpassed by the rifle
