I need a new chain whip

[Judge Pen]

Any recommendations on where to buy a heavy duty whip, 9 sections? My old one was 1.8lbs and I really liked that weight. I've checked out a couple of sights, but wanted to know if anyone knows of a reliable place to make a purchase.

And this post isn't meant to be an offense to TigerClaw. I don't think their chain whips are heavy enough for my tastes.

1.6 lbs to 1.8 lbs = not much difference.

(hand forged weapons are always nice, know any blacksmiths?)

MartialArtsMart.com's (http://www.martialartsmart.com/index.html) traditional 9-section chain whip (http://www.martialartsmart.com/45-29.html) is 1 lb. 6.5 oz. overall. Each section is 3 1/2" with an overall length of approximately 56". I'd add a handle wrap to this, personally. Maybe if you add 1.5 oz of handle wrapping... ;)

MartialArtsMart.com's (http://www.martialartsmart.com/index.html) also carries a wushu 9-section whip (http://www.martialartsmart.com/45-29n.html). They sell those by the buckets. I'm amazed on how well the wushu whips outsell the traditionals nowadays. :o

i have a length of chain that weighs like 150lbs... it's good for centering across your shoulders and spinning with it to build torque strength. :)

add a dose of 'shrooms to that and maybe you'll have lift off :p

too heavy. :)

weapons are best when they are light. That way, they can be moved more quickly.

For ages, the question is how to make things lighter, not heavier.

Make it as effective, but make it weight less. That's how the fuller came into being and a lot of metallurgical doings went down. :)

chain whip is interesting. I never learned how to use one beyond very rudimentary stuff. Flexible weapons were never really my thing anyway.

I was always more of a long and double weapons. Just a preference.

well, it's a kind of weight lifting anyway.

maybe you'll be the one who invents ballistic weight lifting...which is not really the same as caber tossing, but is definitely a form of tossing. :D

maybe you'll be the one who invents ballistic weight lifting.is this the one where you stop a few incoming ICBM's with your bare hands, juggle them like iron balls and leave them sticking out of the dirt when you're done??

no, it's more like kettle bell tossing, compund lifting with a throw at the end...wait a minute, as I write, I think I am developing an idea. I take it all back.

go juggle or something, I got work to do. :) heh heh
