sojobow said:So, tell us what's different. How are you being trained with the chain (handles on both ends)? Scarves, bandanas, battery jumper cables etc excluded. Lets talk about the 2 foot chain (fundo).
Describe to us a simple technique for beginners.
Uh... yeah. I dunno if I can "describe" it correctly, but I iwll try. Maybe if I could take some pictures to demonstrate the stances it would make more sense... esp. because my terminology is bad. I am certainly not qualified to teach the technique, but here's an overview of how we do it.
Starting in a left "Hira" like (flat) stance with the weight of the chain draging the ground, and the other gripped in the hand, the body position shifts to a right hira like stance as the chain swings forward, the weight strikes the target and then drops and slides back along the ground...
Basically, We do not "swing" the chain in a figure 8, or a circle, prior to striking with it... and we dont "snap" the chain back to catch the weight... we "drag" it back into our hand using the chain, after the weight has struck the floor...
I hope my description makes sense...
