Nice work.

I am so envious of your gym or dojo access. What type of martial arts do you practice?

Your skill has grown so fast, it really is very impressive. I am also impressed at how quickly your collection has grown. My wife keeps me in check and at present has stifled my attempts at additions.

Keep it up.

Hi,

nice videos :). It's really big different between your first video :D. Buy two stockwhips and than make two handed routines. It is a chalenge and real fun.

Regards,
Karol

Very nice work, and I agree, noticeable improvement from your first video. I'm impressed with your balance and control. You crack that 9 footer effortlessly. If you're going to do more, I'd like to see an arrowhead, singleton special, and a little Shagbd freestyle. Thanks for posting these videos!

thats funny ya mention that.... Ive been working on just those very 2 things.
Ive pretty much got the Singleton special but the arrowhead is giving me fits.
the problem is not the actual arrowhead crack but rather from where i start. I can start it on my "off"/left side and move it over but going from my strong side to offside is tricky....

that 9 footer is really cracking itself! its an incredible whip, but i still have a tendency to muscle it and go to fast.... when transitioning from a 4ft stock whip to a 9 ft bullwhip, i have to remember to SLOOOWWW down.

I actually had a HUGE breakthru today in my two handed whip cracking so i hope to post some of that soon
