Halloween Party Bullwhip Demonstration at my Karate Studio
Here is a video of me doing a bullwhip demo at my Karate studio for an early Halloween party! My karate teacher is the guy dressed in the Gumby outfit!

Also, after the whip demo, I got to experience first hand a bit about my field . . .
Who knows, in a thousand even I may be worth something!

Re: Halloween Party Bullwhip Demonstration at my Karate Stud
Indeed, it is one of my "Wilkerson Performance Raiders" whips. I find it ideal for this type of situation. It's a good length for wraps and cuts and a bit of fancy cracking, especially in tight spaces like Karate studios with lots of children running around. Notice too the low ceiling, so everything I did was in the horizontal plane, with the exception of the forward flick to wrap the wrist.iwantamorganreelbad1 wrote:Nice! that is one of your 7ft del carpio wilkerson performance raiders i take it?

By the way, HP is cool! Would love to see a pic of you in your costume!

Nice, Darren! I love teaching with my whip. Its a great educational tool...even if we can't use it like we would like to sometimes.
By the way, your socks are NOT SA!

If you've seen Goblet of Fire, the movie, then I have a Viktor Krum first task costume.
However I want to be Indy this Halloween. Sadly I can't be a Raiders Indy since I need an actual hat (i have a dorfman) with a raiders bash, a ROTLA jacket, and a tan whipholder.

Thanks, Hollowpond! And I know what you mean, of course. I'm a high school teacher, so believe me, I understand!Hollowpond wrote:Nice, Darren! I love teaching with my whip. Its a great educational tool...even if we can't use it like we would like to sometimes.

And yes, I know my socks are not SA. When dressed as Indy, I usually wear black socks, (which I assume are SA; don't know how much discussion there has been 'round these parts about the socks) but I was more or less out of them that day, and I had forgotten that I was going to have to take off my boots in order to perform on the mat. Oh well, live and learn!

I was just funnin' ya! You could wear argyle and it would be fine with me.
I teach high school physics and chemistry and everytime I demo the whip there's that ONE KID I'm eyeballing the whole time...

White belt I'm assuming? What style of Karate?
I think I'm more inclined right now to want to know more about your martial arts then the whip aspect.

I don't understand . . . Why do you assume that I'm a white belt?WhipDude wrote:White belt I'm assuming? What style of Karate?

Actually, I am doing Kaju Kembo Karate. Sort of Mixed Martial Arts. The family who owns the studio is called Pallen, they are Fillipino, so there is a Fillipino approach to the style. And I am an advanced orange, actually. (And the belts go: white, yellow, orange, adv. orange, purple, adv. purple, blue, adv. blue, green, adv. green, brown, intermediate brown, adv. brown, student black, black.)

Re: Halloween Party Bullwhip Demonstration at my Karate Stud
I just assumed it because I never recall it being mentioned elsewhere? I was on your Facebook for a while and don't remember pictures or anything. Usually I notice something like that right away because I do it myself.
And MMA? You go full contact?
And to keep it on topic for COW....how about that whip demonstration?
