Chinese Rope Dart Description

Records of these being use in China go back 1500 years, they are one of the longest range weapons, one, that is, you can retrieve easily once you’ve thrown it. Other weapons exist that are very similar, the Chinese Meteor Hammer, Flying Claw, all of which have very similar techniques with their own added flair. The Chinese Rope Dart ‘s specialty is the sharp point, which could pierce when thrusted out. It is known to be one of the more advantage Chinese Kung Fu Weapons and people tend to move into it after having practiced quite a few other Kung Fu weapons first.

The Chinese Rope Dart is over 12ft in length with a heavy steel dart tied on one end, at the join are some rings which jangle. Some people also attached a small cloth which gives some stability when spinning and also makes a noise so you can tell where it is at all times.  Most of the techniques are based around preparing to throw out, throwing out and retrieving it back. This can be done from almost any part of the body but mainly the feet and hands, elbows and neck. There are also some techniques that involve locking and tying and opponent.

A weapon that is so much fun to play with but also can be quite dangerous to take it easy and enjoy it

Advice from the shop on your Chinese Rope Dart

“The actual dart is heavy, most people are surprised when they first hold one. This, when spinning round your head is a danger, make no bones about it. If this clonks you one, you’ll know about it, wherever it hits you. I know some people that stick a tennis ball over the dart to give them some practice time getting used to it.”
