Exotic Weaponry.


One of the most unique if not somewhat strange looking weapon is the Rattan Ring. I have encountered some "off" comments such as "How do you beat someone with that steering wheel", to "It just looks wrong" ! But when I put on a demonstration of this awesome and dynamic training tool/ weapon the advantages become very clear !

1. It trains your hands.

If you want to have your hands work in sync with each other the Rattan Ring is a perfect place to start !!! The principles of guiding and rolling with or around an attack are learned very early with this unique training tool !!!!!!

2. It is awesome as a weapon.

The Rattan Ring acts like a "Circle of elbows" for striking !! You must use control when training with your school mates because it is a very hard piece of circular wood.

3. Unique for joint lock applications.

If you understand joint locks very well the Rattan Ring is for you !! You will learn how to "stick" close to your opponent as you slide, lock, trap and guide your opponents limbs to painful unforgiving locks !!!

4. Chokes and Throws.

For me I find thus far that the Rattan Ring has no equal regarding choking & throwing techniques as a weapon. Once you understand how to move that ring you to will see it's effectiveness of these techniques.

The Rattan Ring also allows you to find your own natural rhythm for your body. Movement that is comfortable for you. Everyone has different body types therefore different rhythms. If you wish to learn what I have gleened over the years from this fine weapon you can reach me at:
